“Shamelessly uses Gothic franchise. If you thought Gothic 3 was a bit wobbly, you will be in awe that there ever was a time post 1975 where such a game can be published without a prison sentence. Horrible arcade clickfest, can run through…”
“A broken game, i cant possibly recommend it in its current state. No matter what work arounds you try to use, it wont fix the game. its broken beyond repair.”
