top game, it runs perfectly, I finished the first one in 35 hours, but I know it inside out. A new player will definitely want 50-60 hours. Now I'm playing the 2 and I'm already at 60 hours and I'm loving it. It will take me over 100 hours to finish it. It's worth the money 100%. But be aware. These are games from the early 2000s. So the controls are a bit strange for our time. Gothic 2 is still the best Single Player game I've ever played. A remake of Gothic 1 is also in the works. So let's hope it will be available on the new Switch that will come out!

To Gothic 1 (released on PC in 2001) is by far the PERFECT RPG of all time on PC for me. I have played the PC version countless times over the years and would recommend it to any PC gamer with closed eyes (just like Gothic 2, which was released for PC in 2003). Therefore, having this love for the series, it was natural for me to be somewhat biased and buy the Switch version, which includes both masterpieces, Gothic I & Gothic II, without a second thought. Everything seems identical to the masterpiece PC versions, except for one significant exception: the way the camera operates, which personally left me with very negative impressions. Specifically, the biggest (and only) negative in the Switch version is (for me at least) the controls... the camera seems to "lock" when you put the character in combat mode, resulting in a significant loss of movement freedom, something I have never encountered in the PC versions. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong in the settings, but personally, I have been very disappointed with how the camera works in battles for the Switch version. I truly hope I am doing something wrong, as I have always been a PC gamer and I'm not very good with consoles (I recently bought the Switch Lite and don't have much experience), and this is the only reason I leave a 5/5 star rating, which is the rating that the PC versions deserve, hoping that I am indeed mistaken and that there is some setting that corrects the camera situation for the Switch version. I will continue to engage with the game (as much as I can), and if I have indeed done something wrong in the settings, I will return with an update. Important note: if I were sure that there is no way to "unlock" the camera during combat mode, my rating for the game would drop to 2/5 stars, maybe even 1/5, so I recommend anyone interested to look into the matter (*check walkthroughs on the internet for the Switch version to judge for yourself).
-Positives: everything except the camera in combat mode.
-Negatives: the camera when the character enters combat mode.
