The second part can not hold a candle to the first. Basically, I think the idea of developing well, in terms of history and the talent-tree model is acceptable. But that the gameplay was so raped is incomprehensible to me. That reminds me the combat mechanics of the first Gothic part would have preferred .. since you had it at least still in the hand if you win the battle or lose in any case. To my mind, this new combat system is more connected to chance and luck than skill. Piranha Bytes should really reconsider times what it provides to its faithful followers and even accuses .. Thus, of course, the second part was after the first part, which was a success in my opinion, very disappointing.
Despite all the negative words, of course, the game is a must for all those who were mad after the Gothic series and who also like to enjoy the first part of this game. But be warned! That is a lot of work ..
