The Legend is Back - Return to the Valley of the Mines in this faithful remake of the genre-defining classic RPG. Explore a hand-crafted, organic open world that reacts dynamically to your actions in a gritty, unrestricted experience like no other.
Yeah, but back then they had the good excuse of having created a very innovative RPG with a level of depth and simulation rarely seen before. The remake devs aren’t building another engine from scratch or anything, like PB did. And it’s not like they’re intentionally recreating the janky UI of the original. The new UI is very different and mostly intended for controllers. The movement is also bad in almost the opposite way that Gothic 1’s movement was “bad” (floaty vs stiff). Wouldn’t have minded so much if they tried to do a remake that was as faithful as possible to the original - instead they’re trying to modernize everything but aren’t doing a very good job at it.
So a true remake of the original! I love Gothic 1 and 2 but Piranha Bytes was always know for jank
