Tried this one and yes, very much reminds me of Gothic/Risen and early versions of Kingdom Come: Deliverance but less real medieval. It has the humor, the slow pace. I definitely think they stole some assets and sound bits - not really but you can see and hear the homage(s).

I stopped playing early, because this is a game I do not want to spoil for me at all. I want to play this when it is out.
This clearly has jank, but I don't care when it scratches that specific Gothic itch and from what I have seen it definitely seems it does. Graphics are not AAA but decent and charming. You play a cartographer with not much fighting experience so the classic vibe of "everyone and everything can kill you" is there. There is loot everywhere as it should be. Fighting is something to get used to, stamina is important and it is more of a slow exchange of heavy hits. Definitely not on the easy side for me to do, but I want to learn it. Someone compared the fighting to the first Souls game, but I can't make that comparison since I never played one of those. It is not button mashing like the Gothic series, that's what I can say.
It is a good choice from the developer to get this out before Gothic 1 Remake is supposed to launch. People want something like this desperately and I hope it can hold up to the end.
Crossing fingers for this one, but expect bugs and lots of patches over time.
