Nintendo Switch User Reviews

This wonderful game is not well converted into Switch. And even on PC it may be tiring to play in 2025 without 2 small union mods: TimeMultiplier and QuickLoot. With these, I'd give 6. With better controls, it should be 10 automatically, but moving around, especially during the battles, is very very clunky

Game have some bugs that don’t let you progress into it and most of the time You have other bugs that are annoying with no story.

Really very bad game. Unacceptable combat system, poor character design, linear gameplay, cliche story - all of this makes Gothic 2 so boring to play. At least, Morrowind is much much better.

Will start off by saying I've only played just over 3 hours of the game, but the game doesn't inspire me to continue any further. Although the premise and the setting are very nice and you can get the atmospheric feel of the place, especially with good ambient music, the game has a lot of drawbacks, such as ridiculously bad controls, poor dialogue, and a very slow pace. First of all, the controls. To do anything in the game, such as to pick up an item, to talk to someone, or (the worst of all) to climb ladders, requires not only for the character to be perfectly alligned in a certain direction, but also the press of two buttons at exactly the same time. This kind of bad controls really detract from the gaming experience, even if you do sort of get there after an hour or so. I also mentioned the bad dialogue, but that mostly just refers to the main character and not the NPCs. It's a combination of both the bad lines and bad voice acting. Like the guy has an overly down to earth attitude and acts a bit like a naive child even though he has no reason to since just about any character there tries to beat the crap out of him or to rob him off his ore. However, it's mostly the slow pacing of the game that really discouraged me from carrying on, and the fact that you are kind of forced to explore for solutions to what to do next, except that the game won't let you explore, because nearly every creature apart from standard scavengers kills you in one hit, hence confining you to a tiny area. The game probably picks up the pace later on, but I couldn't stomach it anymore. If these issues could be sorted out, I am sure Gothic can be a really fun game, but otherwise it feels a bit broken, especially considering there are some in-game bugs present too, which I sort of forgave.

Totally unplayable game. The graphics even at the time od premiere were awful,combat and whole controls are the worst i met in any game. The story and voice acting are okay so it's better to watch this game instead of playing IT.

boring and bugged to unplayable state boring and bugged to unplayable state

There is no game with a world like Gothic 2. The immersion is just unbelivable. I beg every fan of rpgs to play it!

Playing as a magician for a week. Bugs have not been fixed since 2003: some spells still fly away, you can speak to the dragons without Innos eye, you will have 10 of them, cause the game duplicates some items, e.g. Beliars Rune, when you sell 100 arrows you get 1 gold, some NPC can loose their hitbar, Minental is still a location with many problems and the game crashes often. If you trank elixir of healing/mana, it will glow till the end of the game. The real problems began in 5th chapter, death wave simply causes crash in Minental castle. Opening the caslte just gate causes the game stuck =/ It's great to play this game on switch, but please fix the issues.

Just finished on switch works perfectly, 0 game breaking bugs in my game, sometimes starts to stutter on quality mode, but we have performance mode to fix it, anyway i played it mostly in quality anyway.

A true Gem, I never imagined 20 years ago when I first started to play this game, it will mean so much to me now. And being able to share this experience with my kids in the future on a modern console, is gonna be so rewarding. As for the game is the same old good game that I remember. I really love the revamped intro :)
