The game got very mixed reviews on release. I even took a long time until I tried the game because people weren’t really recommending it.
Even the sequel was canceled.
But at the same time, I feel that more people are now understanding that reviews mean fuck all and until you try the game you won’t know if you like it.
I don’t care about the graphics but I’ve always read that the controls are shit.
I’m thinking on buying the gothic games now that they are on sale, though. Morrowind is one of my favorite games and if this one resembles it even if it’s a tiny bit, I could deal with the clunkiness.
