About Gothic® 3
Build your own legend in a massive fantasy world where your choices shape the fate of warring kingdoms and determine whether Myrtana finds salvation or destruction. Battle orcs, magic users, and political factions across a sprawling realm with dynamic combat, hundreds of voiced characters, and complete freedom to approach quests your own way.
Myrtana, a world in upheaval: overrun by orcs from the dark lands in the north, King Rhobar is defending Vengard, the former stronghold of the humans, with his last troop of followers. Chaos reigns without: rebels are offering resistance, and the Hashishin of the south are openly collaborating with the orcs.
Rumours that the nameless hero of Khorinis is on his way to the mainland spawn both hope and worry. Whose side will he take? Who will feel his wrath, who enjoy his favor? Only one thing is sure: his deeds are going to change Myrtana forever...

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players are divided on Gothic 3, with some appreciating it as a classic with a beautiful world and excellent soundtrack, while many others criticize its poor optimization, tedious fetch quests, broken combat system, and non-existent balancing that severely hamper enjoyment. The game requires extensive modding and community patches to be playable for most, and the repetitive quest design forces grinding for progression points rather than offering compelling storytelling.

This game needs to be patched. It has: Bad optimalization Boring MMO-Like quests No story at all 2.5/10
Ich habe es wirklich versucht mich als Gothic Fan auf das Spiel einzulassen! Ich habe das Spiel stark gemodded und mit Community Patches & Fixes versehen, allerdings ist die Welt nicht besonders spannend gestaltet. Die Quest sind langweilige töte das, sammle das, oh und töte wieder das und vergiss nicht du musst 75 Respekt Punkte in meiner Stadt dir mit diesen Quests erarbeiten um weiterzukommen. OMG, ist das Game zum kotzen!
good old game.
classic
Gothic 3 really has a beautiful game world and the soundtrack is awesome. Unfortunately, that's about the only positive thing about the game. Everything else is awful. From the quest design and the combat system to the incredibly poor, non-existent balancing and the AI glitches. Gothic 3 is a complete flop, but I'm trying to slog through it with my crossbow and a ton of cheese. I don't know if it's normal for Piranha Bytes to be unable to count to three. Risen 3 was just so-so, and we were spared Elex 3. At least it runs on Steam Deck. Nevertheless, exploring the game world is a lot of fun, and everything is accompanied by a great soundtrack. And thanks to the stupid AI and the body ragdolls, funny stuff will happen. Or totally stupid conversations during the fight, like "I'm going to take a break for now." 10 out of 10. You can't take Gothic 3 seriously. It's a walking mess riddled with bugs. I also recommend installing all community patches. Finally, install the Parallel Universe Patch and everything will run very smoothly.
