If this game didn't call itself a Gothic game, I would have liked it a lot more. I spent lots of hours playing gothic. The completely open world, the crafting, the story, the game play, the side quests...EVERYTHING about Gothic was literally phenomenal.

As long as you're not expecting a game of the year class RPG, you're in for a very good time here. Graphics are kinda bad on the 360. But provides a successful overall gaming experience - an easy going and serviceable runner up to the recent great rpgs.

Arcania turns out to be a passable RPG, it has pleasant enough locations and plenty of quests to get stuck into, even if they do feel a bit similar to each other. The timing of such a generic release couldn't have come at a worse time however, and with Fable III and Fallout New Vegas also vying for...

Pleasant vistas and surroundings; Plenty of quests to find and complete; Simplicity makes it approachable

this is a nice simple rpg game, that has possibility to expand to better itself. i recommend it. the game require more flexibility.

Arcania: Gothic IV is no different, and while the story might have issues with pacing, it won't distract you from the experience. It lets you play at your own pace, with plenty of great looting objectives and a very detailed and lively world.

You ever get the feeling that a game arrived just a bit too late to the party or maybe was a bit ahead of its time? That does happen every now and then and Arcania: Gothic 4 is one such example.

Of all the epic role-playing game franchises that have come and gone in the past decade, Gothic has always been one of the most distinct. The first three games in the series earned developer Piranha Bytes a lot of fans and a fair number of detractors for brutal difficulty, bleak storylines, and...

Straightforward; easy-to-play hack-and-slash RPG

Boring story and nondescript NPCs; Formulaic fetch quests; A few hitches with map graphics and overall visual quality; Generic game mechanics and limited character development; Poorly translated dialogue and voice-acting
