Gothic 1 Remake takes the 2001 cult classic RPG and brings it to the modern era, without changing much else. The inconsistent enemy placements and unforgiving early combat are still present. Whether this is good or bad depends on you. You’re an unnamed hero, dumped into the colony, required to prove your worth.
