Seems great despite a bad start

Pro

  • It looks great.
  • Hidden HUD works for the most part.
  • Overall gameplay is solid.
  • Combat is much better.
  • Lootables are highlighted, which i love.
  • Most of the voice acting is fine.

Con

  • Diego has the worst voice acting i've ever seen. He constantly pauses for no reason like a William Shatner on steroids.
  • Terrible terrible intro that takes far too long. Seriously, let me skip all of this and play the damn game.
  • Can't skip (lines during) conversations. Conversations take way too long because of this.
  • Climbing ladders is too slow, either vastly speed it up or make it automatic (and let me jump down).
  • Invisible walls and generally clunky movement on rocks and the like. I had to reload because i got stuck.
  • Inconsistent controls. Sometimes you close with Escape, sometimes Q, etc.
  • Terrible menu controls. Choosing subsections should just be done with arrows, not E.
  • No quest markers. I briefly lost the guy i was supposed to follow, he didn't wait either.
  • If you don't have a key for something you can't move while your character says you need a key. Very annoying.
  • Tutorials keep repeating, even during combat.

Conclusion

If they fix all the things slowing …

Conclusion

If they fix all the things slowing the game down, streamline the controls and redo Diego's voice-acting this will be an amazing game.

I could never really get into the original Gothic but this demo gives me high hopes for the remake. There's a bunch of 90s/00s games that are kind of a pain to play now and i've always wished they'd get remade. I hope they also do Gothic 2, Fallout 1/2, et cetera. Fuck purists!
