Has anyone (paging u/goldeninnosstatue ) played the new gothic 1 remake? I saw it was released earlier this month and they want $50 for it… is it worth it?

High-seas'd it, finished it, overall had fun with it (would say its a solid 7 for that kind of game) and exploring around was good though there are issues.
Good stuff:
Lot of stuff to go explore and murder and get murdered by, world is mostly well made and only got stuck in terrain one time.
Looks and runs decent, no crashes from the game itself (just from some mods).
You can totally just run off to a higher-level area if you want to and get your shit wrecked so barely any gatekeeping in that regard.
Annoying stuff:
You can go from 'i die in 2 hits' to 'i'm taking almost no damage' in a single quest which is some pretty shit progression.
Combat is a bit janky, such as stuff will slap you mid-dodge or outside their visual reach.
Fuck lockpicking, modded that away soon as i could.
The 'economy' system is stupid imo even it is more realistic.
Dragged on too much in later parts, lots of ping-ponging around the map.
That adds up, for as much of a skinsuit as THQ Nordic is of the original THQ (R.I.P.) and their inability to make good new entries off previous THQ properties, their remakes of those same properties are usually pretty solid.
