It's coming!

I loved it when I originally played it. I am not sure how dated it will feel now. But I would love to give it another go. Specially since I never played the sequels.

Any Gothic fans here? Going to get the classic or going to wait for the remake?

Edit:

Here is the unedited list of fixes which will be incorporated into the Gothic 1 Switch port. This port is the original game code, no remastering, and no remaking, it is the port of the original code to the Nintendo Switch.

The following list of fixes will be made though:

I meant, with the Switch version releasing, I can't say that this one has dated badly too, maybe the fixes and updated controls and UI would make the game feel less dated. As for the PC version still being completely playable, I haven't tried it myself, but everyone have different tolerance level for older games, so it's possible some people enjoy it.

And all Piranha Byte games are like that, they have their "quirks". We may love them, but not everyone does. There's a reason there games didn't rank very critically. That said, I love their games, switch version of Risen is already on my wish list, but with Gothic arriving too, going to give it a try first.

As for the language, unfortunately I don't know German, so would have to play the version I can understand, but it sounds interesting.
