Critic Reviews
- A remake with the confidence to keep the friction, Gothic 1 Remake doesn't drag a cult classic into the present so much as prove it never belonged to the past.
· Aug 03, 2026 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Gothic 1 Remake is a superlative reinterpretation of an all-time classic game. Whilst the initial difficulty level and complete lack of handholding or quest markers etc.
Steve C · Jun 23, 2026 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Gothic 1 Remake faithfully reconstructs a cult classic RPG from a team that clearly respected the original, and feels like a game from a bygone era largely for the better.
Bryan Vitale · Jun 18, 2026 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Gothic 1 Remake is a faithful retelling of the original Gothic, warts and all. Perhaps too ambitious for its budget, it offers even hardened gamers a truly unique, hardcore roleplaying experience. While weighed down by a litany of bugs and issues, there is a lovingly made product underneath – but it’s hard to recommend in its current state.
Khayl Adam · Jun 12, 2026 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Despite all the games it influenced over the years, Gothic still stands alone. This remake is both faithful and fresh, providing much-needed improvements and wider accessibility in spite of its unforgiving nature and undeniable eurojank (a term the original Gothic helped establish). Newcomers may feel the game is a relic in some ways, but anyone interested in an underplayed yet seminal classic owes it to themselves to give Gothic 1 Remake a shot.
Connor Trinske · Jun 12, 2026 Reviewed on PC - Gothic 1 Remake is stubbornly faithful to the original to the point where it wears its flaws just like its triumphs, a frustrating experience.
· Jun 12, 2026 Reviewed on PCRead full review - FAIR Gothic 1 Remake definitely deserves praise for preserving everything good about the original release and for its revamped visuals.
Varun Karunakar · Jun 12, 2026 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - 8.0 Gothic Remake is available now on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Reviewed on PC. A copy of Gothic Remake was provided by the publisher .
· Jun 11, 2026 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Gothic Remake is a new version of the 2001 action RPG, with controller support, updated graphics and a more refined combat system.
· Jun 09, 2026 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Brilliant, bizarre, and a bit too obnoxious for its own good, Gothic 1 Remake is a solid remake of a hugely influential RPG. Dedicated to keeping the deeply unique and unfriendly spirit of the original alive, this still feels like little else, though I can't help but wish it was willing to add more polish.

About the game
Trailers & Screenshots:
Gothic 1 Remake is an action role-playing game set in a third-person perspective within a fantasy open world. It is a remake of the 2001 game Gothic, developed by Alkimia Interactive using Unreal Engine 5. The player controls a nameless prisoner sent into the Valley of Mines, a penal colony surrounded by a magical barrier. The game features NPC routines, faction-based quest paths, and a progression system where the player starts with no skills and must learn them from trainers. Navigation is done without a minimap, and the game world is 10 to 30 percent larger than the original, with expanded chapters and additional quest content. Combat and skill systems are based on the original game's design.
