You may think that I am going to say that the presentation of Gothic 2: Gold Edition is not that great because it is a game that is the better part of 20 years old as I write this. Combat is not super easy to get to grips with, but once you find the style that suits you, you will feel like a badass warrior. There is also magic which is done by using runes that allow you to cast spells. You can use stealth where you sneak around and try to use the shadows and attack from afar. You have power which is just trying to smash your way through everything with pure brute force. You can go about combat in a few different ways. While there is certainly a lot for you to do in Gothic 2: Gold Edition, we do also have to talk about the combat.

There is always something to do in this large and open world and adventure is around every corner. It is an extremely non-linear game where you are free to go and do whatever you want. It is like the people making the game took the best things from various RPG series such as The Elder Scrolls and Final Fantasy and combined them all to make this game. It is the gameplay of Gothic 2: Gold Edition that makes it an RPG that is still played and fondly talked about to this day. Well, the main arc is, as you would expect there are many side missions and these are not as interesting as the main story. It is an epic fantasy story and I think that it is a story that is well done. The Nameless hero is set on a new adventure where they must ultimately gain the Eye of Innos which is held by the Paladins who are located in Khorinis. The game actually takes place shortly after what went down at the end of the first game. I do think that playing the original game would give you more appreciation for the lore that Gothic 2: Gold Edition has, but it is not 100 percent necessary.

If you like RPGs that take a more non-linear approach to things then you are in for a real treat here as this is a game that can easily take over your life if you get into it! The Nameless Hero

Plus, it is optimized to run better on modern hardware too. Not only do you get the base game with this, but you also get the fantastic expansion, Night of the Raven as part of the package. Gothic 2: Gold Edition is the best way you can experience the early 2000s classic game.
