“Gothic 2 is a classic RPG. Most players, including me, feel incredible nostalgia for this game as a true RPG from our childhood. I would recommend it even to new players to see what older games can offer and how some of…”

“Probably it's just Nostalgia, but the feeling that this game gives me, is the feeling that i hunt for in video games. W game, try it, for sure it's awkward etc, but oh my god it's worth it.”

“Gothic 2 is the bigger, meaner son of gothic 1. Many things are improved and further developed. You play in a much larger area (especially if you combine the area added by Night of the Raven) Just as other entries of…”
“What can I say such a great game and there is voice acting with every encounter which is so rare to find nowadays unless they are AAA tiles. With Night of the Raven you get two stories for the price of one. It not your…”
“Gra jak na swoje lata jest jedną z lepszych gier jakie grałem. Gothic 2 uważam że zasugerował wiele gier nowych które powstały nawet samego Wiedźmina 3. Uważam że jest to produkt warty sprawdzenia i nie tylko !! A nawet…”

“One of the best RPGs one can find. The base game is already good, but after that, you have the 20+ Years of Mods, that can basically give you infinite playtime, as new Mods keep coming out and their quality keeps…”
