War has been waged across the kingdom of Myrtana. Orcish hordes invaded human territory and the king of the land needed a lot of ore to forge enough weapons, should his army stand against this threat. Whoever breaks the law in these darkest of times is sentenced to serve in the giant penal colony of Khorinis, mining the so much needed...

Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 2.86/day in the week to Aug 8 → 3.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Let me be clear about one thing first: Gothic is a fantastic game. One of the most atmospheric RPGs ever made, a colony that feels alive, a world that earned its legendary status. The game itself gets a full recommendation from me. If you enjoyed the remake or never played the original, it is absolutely worth experiencing. What I cannot recommend is buying it at the current price. Here is why. According to SteamDB, this game sold for a base price of 9,99€ from mid-2021 until the end of 2024, over three years of stability. Sales regularly brought it down to 2,49€, and the all-time low was 0,99€ in September 2021. Then on January 10, 2025, the base price was raised back to 19,99€ and the sale price doubled to 4,99€. No patch, no remaster, no update of any kind accompanied this change. Check the update history yourself, it is empty. The only thing that happened was the remake entering its marketing phase. For context: Risen, made by the same developers and published by the same publisher, released in 2009 and currently sits at 14,99€. So a game from 2001 now costs more than a game from 2009 from the same catalogue. The difference is that Risen did not get a remake to draw fresh eyes to its store page. Think about what this product actually is. A digital download of a game whose development was completed and paid for 25 years ago. There are no production costs, no shipping, no scarcity, no ongoing development. Every single copy sold at any price is essentially pure profit. There is no economic justification for doubling the price of a file that has not changed. The only thing that changed is that the remake brings in new players who have no idea what this game cost eighteen months ago, and the publisher is counting on exactly that. In December 2024 you could buy this game for 2,49€. Today the same files cost 9,99€ on sale and 19,99€ at full price. Buy the game. Just not at this price. Wishlist it, wait, and do not reward this. The game deserves to be played. The pricing strategy does not deserve to work.

[h1]Невежда передвигает предметы руками. Мастер — силой духа.[/h1] Недавно я наконец то прошёл данное чудо творение перед выходом ремейка. По сути, сейчас это деревянная игра с топорной графикой, но раньше это было сущей имбой, так ей и осталась. Управление кривое конечно, но привыкнуть можно. Здесь вас не водят за ручку, здесь нужно разбираться самому, но за то какой кайф. Атмосфера топчик и даже есть моменты, которые прям подчёркивают реализм, например спать в чужом доме нельзя, а то тебя выгонят. Сюжет конечно интересный, но душный. Особенно интересно то, что есть 3 лагеря, но я думаю самый интересный это Новый Лагерь, хз почему но в нём атмосферно. К сожалению без модов нормально не поиграешь, нужно дополнительно докачивать моды на фиксы из мастерской, что может быть иногда проблематично, но оно того стоит. Лично я в неё играл в детстве, но быстро дропнул, т.к не сильно понятно было что к чему, но сейчас прошёл и реально кайфанул. Короче топчик, брать нужно обязательно.
Убогая графика и боевка. Лучше поиграть в Remake
名流(?)RPG品牌里最执着于掀开用户天灵盖拉大便的那个。通过各种角度、切实体现出多数同行通常只是走个过场、意思一下就忘到脑后的“从无名小卒开始历练并获得地位“这一概念。尤其在前期流程里,除主观能动性比因为代码写得太烂、终生被约束在固定范围内的NPC更强之外,主角就是个能被任何人取代的杂鱼。路边的(巨)鸡都能啄死,遇上个哥布林被敲碎膝盖骨也是家常便饭;回村多跟卫兵废话两句,还得小心被揍个鼻青脸肿。 通过叙事、敌我数值与系统机制等方面,反映了欧洲社会严峻的阶级剥削——弱智只配欺负弱者、攻击力不达标再怎么偷奸耍滑也破不了贵族的防。所以在殴打工农阶级、猎杀与你平起平坐的牲畜,靠着低保养老金勉强撑起最初的“成长”之外,要想成就大业,你首先成为一名合格的西欧人:加入工会成为剥削阶级。 你可以选择三个当地大宗势力:官僚主义黑手党、反社会人格嬉皮士和同性恋秃头毒虫。他们不像大部分RPG在阵营选择上追求深度,要么代表了某种意识形态或是哲学思辨、总是刻意被塑造得对错模糊。这仨虽然会有各自的主张,但你加入了之后会发现、实际上除了给的好处略有不同之外、最大区别也就只有制服款式与食堂菜色,所以你加入哪边都不用过多纠结。而且不管怎么说,游戏中玩家实力严重依赖武器防具,而这些公会也很聪明地牢牢掌控着防具获取渠道。可能是自认为这个点子真的很超脱,多年来黑香肠爱好者总是将其视为德RPG——或者说食人鱼RPG不可或缺的祖传要素。 另一个被人津津乐道的,则是在其线性流程下,因交互逻辑缺乏严格规划与约束,在玩法反馈上很容易造成抽象状况。你猜为什么举国上下就这帮傻老爷们儿被关进来——除了长得全都一样丑、害你只是跑腿送碗老鼠屎兑青蛙汤给某人,都搞得像在黑煤窑里看一群印度人滴血认亲一样困难? 没错。游戏中这些NPC具备了健忘、眼瞎、只会人机复读固定台词等典型德式血统优生政策导致的先天性缺陷,很难对你的偷鸡行为有所反应。同时也缺少贝塞斯达式脑内连线好友圈恒定善恶标准,你当街殴打他人也不会掉什么道德指数、导致全网好评率降低。所以当你稍微放下了君子风度后,剧情难免就经常出现某某NPC说“我在看守物资”,但此时连他的私藏春宫图都早已被你揣进口袋里。或是早在一周前劫杀过两个倒霉蛋的篝火边,把你骗出营地想以多欺少的笨蛋,还是会觉得尸体都被刷新掉的同伴音容犹在,孤零零地扑上来寻死。
I got this game in a bundle on Fanatical, and not one of the expensive "pick your choice" ones either, it was a $3 or so bundle with a bunch of old fantasy RPG games of which the Gothic trilogy and Rune were the only stand outs. Even on Steam, the game was priced €9.99 and frequently went on sale at €2.49. There are zero reasons why this game should now cost €19.99 (€4.99 at sale), especially since it has received no update whatsoever, except that they want to discourage people from purchasing this one in order to buy the remake; which is such an absurd tactic to make, especially considering that the original has outdated graphics and no controller support, so it's not like most people are going to be drawn to this game with the excuse of "It's cheaper". It's honestly baffling, and the only reason why they haven't been significantly review-bombed for this is just that this game, despite its legacy, has never really had a big cult-following in the first place, so the news didn't really go around in social media. In fact, there are probably more people on Steam familiar with the remake announcement than the OG series - which makes it further absurd the decision to increase the price of the original to "pivot" people toward the remake.
price hike of old games
Стой, чужеземец! Я Лотар, паладин - Как я могу получить доспехи как у тебя? - ЧТО? Я сочту это оскорблением! Ты даже не являешься членом ополчения! ТЫ ДАЖЕ НЕ ГРАЖДАНИН! ТЫ НЕ ПАЛАДИН! ДАЖЕ СУКИН СЫН НЕ ГРАЖДАНИН! НЕ ГРАЖДАНИН! ТЫ НЕ ГРАЖДАНИН! ДАЖЕ АБУИН НЕ ГРАЖДАНИН!
Игра конечно легенда, но вы совсем что-ли? Что с ценой? Игра не поменялась вообще, всю трилогию, без скидок, можно было по 100 рублей каждую купить, ещё и фанатские патчи ставить надо, чтоб на современных системах переваривало. За эти деньги не покупайте господа и дамы, репаки лучше работают. К тому же, люди которые делали этот шедевр давно не с thq, они ни копейки не получат.
mmmmm swamp weed
Still better than the Remake.
