What critics said

RPG Fan90

A remake with the confidence to keep the friction, Gothic 1 Remake doesn't drag a cult classic into the present so much as prove it never belonged to the past. Play it, get wrecked, get better, and thank it later.

The AU Review80

Gothic 1 Remake successfully revives a cult-classic franchise by preserving the uncompromising friction that made it famous. Fans of The Elder Scrolls or Kingdom Come: Deliverance will appreciate seeing the foundational mechanics that helped inspire those series.

IGN70

Gothic 1 Remake is undeniably the best way to play this cult classic RPG, even if certain aspects of it have aged like milk.

Gothic 1 Remake devs hint at next game while announcing a photo mode, "Marvin mode" for cheaters, and some mysterious "alternative progression systems"

THQ Nordic's Gothic remake is getting a Photo Mode, some mysterious "alternative progression mechanics", an official mod kit, and something called Marvin Mode, development studio Alkimia Interactive have announced. What's a Marvin Mode? "The Gothic equivalent of a developer mode," Alkimia explain. "Think spawning creatures or items, teleporting around the map, or doing some silly things."

Gothic 1 Remake review - the classic RPG returns with countless subtle improvements

Old-timey German RPG Gothic had a few spiritual successors, but most were offshoots from the same studio. Thanks to pre-digital distribution limits of 2001, it was obscure in North America, which of course means it never existed. It didn't even have Mario in. But Gothic was also special. Gothic 1 Remake (whose refreshingly honest, direct name honours us) chose a path made of tightropes: to be neither a perfect recreation or a wholly new entity wearing its skin, but to modernise and improve while

'The Most Important Thing Is People Can Play at Launch': Gothic PS5 Remake Misses the Mark with Mandated Download

'The Most Important Thing Is People Can Play at Launch': Gothic PS5 Remake Misses the Mark with Mandated Download

"It has to stop". Gothic 1 Remake is the latest in a long line of PS5 physical releases to ship with a Game Key Disc – although maker Alkimia Interactive seems to have honourable intentions which have backfired. Earlier today, the X (or Twitter) account Does It Play dramatically told its followers to “cancel your pre-orders”, after early physical copies of the old-school action RPG had started to make their way out into the wild.

Gothic 1 Remake Preview: A New Look for a Dark-Fantasy RPG Classic

There's often a tricky balance with examining what to re-examine and what to keep when remaking games, but the Gothic 1 Remake from Alkimia Interactive certainly looks to give the original series a much needed reappraisal in the right ways. Along with leaning even further into the stories that are made with every choice, it's making some commendable updates for storytelling and removing some unsavory aspects of the 2001 version. And so far, Gothic 1 Remake has the makings for a worthy reinventio
