Product Description
The world has been abandoned by its gods and is scarred from the rampage of the Titans. Humanity is struggling to regain strength and rally its forces. You, however, have more pressing concerns: your own life has been shattered and you must set off to reclaim what is lost amidst the darkness that is spreading throughout the world. Who knows, maybe you'll even save the world at the same time?
Three threads of destiny lie before you. Three ways to rise up against the Titans and regain your soul.
Which path to take? The choice is yours.

The Good:
-Magic system is a blast. Anyone who played Risen 2 can tell you that the voodoo magic left a lot to be desired with a few cool tricks but damage spells that came much too late. Now you have three different schools of magic to play with (rune, crystal, and voodoo) all with fun and unique spells. Instead of a mana pool that gives out over time you have different elements that you can wield like weapons at melee and range supplemented by timed spells with effects like fire rain or summoning. Enemies also have vulnerabilities to elements that you can discover with experimentation.
-Exploration. This has always been a strongpoint of PB games and this iteration is no different. A bevy of secret caves, islands, and treasure to find will keep you wanting to see what is around every corner for hours if you're anything like me.
-Arcane Vision. For anyone who likes collecting every ounce of junk as a metagame this upgradable ability highlights objects so you don't have to worry about missing anything and squinting at every corner. It reminds me of the wisp ability from Gothic II, but much more efficient.
-Huge number of interesting quests. Many may knock this game for having quite a few 'fetch' quests, but it's what you can do within these quests that lets them shine and wash away any tedium. Asked to hand out some crystals to your compatriots? Scam them instead and make them pay for the privilege.
The neutral:
-Reused areas. I put this in neutral because PB has done this before to great affect, like in Gothic II. Seeing how areas change over time is fun and they are dissimilar enough that I didn't feel it detracted from my experience, but it annoys enough people that it can be a negative.
-Ship combat under utilized. This was one of the most fun parts of the game, but like Assassin's creed 3 it just leaves you wanting more.
The bad:
-The story drags a bit in the middle. They do things to improve this and try to keep it interesting, but it's easy to do things in an order which can feel like a slog and not a fun progression of events.
-Companions are tanks. This isn't as much of a problem on the hardest difficulty, but on medium it feels like they are more powerful than you for far too long and are neigh unkillable. If you're spending glory on skills you don't have until you join a faction, like magic or voodoo, this is especially true.
-Voice acting is hit-and-miss. Sometimes your main character can sound like a badass that you'd never want to mess with, other times he has a mouth full of gravel for no reason. Also, there are too many times where you'll hear that the voice actors didn't have good direction and say lines with the wrong inflection.
-Combat can be clunky. I actually put this in both the good and the bad because they improved some aspects, but from friends I know who've played the game on a console the controls can be a pain without a mouse and keyboard. This is where you'll really feel the "companions are tanks", because you can often just roll circles around enemies while your friend rips them apart. Seeing enemies get stuck behind a fence or rock and glitch out during can also break immersion. Although, enemies telegraph their punches with long animations and once you get timing down the clunkiness fades away, especially after upgrades. This shouldn't be much of a problem for people if they can get past the first few hours and put some effort into learning the system.
-Day one DLC. This is more a knock on the publisher and not the developer, but for ♥♥♥♥ sake stop making Devs do this ♥♥♥♥. It only hurts the customer.
Conclusion:
It's a solid 7/10 RPG, 8/10 if you like the PB style of exploration and questing. For any fan of PB's previous Gothic series I'd recommend buying now, but if you're just a general lover of open world RPGs you might want to wait for a sale. The day one DLC added a lot of content but the it will leave a sour taste in your mouth if you buy full price.
If you gotta have it, wait till it cost a dollar, anymore is way too much.
Okay this was 2001 game! since then I would expect PB to do a better job on combat and improving different aspects of game play but it seams its just the same. There literally is no evolution. Well instead of block you have dodge I guess and a pistol instead of crossbow or bow. In 2001 this game would be 9/10 but by todays standards its 4-5/10 its average to below average.
I bought as a sole tribute to PB who's gothic I and II remain my favorite games of all times. Also protagonist better have been not voiced as he sounds rdiculous.
