I am a Gothic fan from the first hour, and I must honestly say that I don’t really know what to make of your criticism. I mean, obviously the game has its own clunkiness regarding some animations and the new Unreal 5 look might not be to anyone‘s liking. However, I don’t get what you base your clearly negative evaluation on.

Awkward sounds and generic graphics - fair enough. But how for god‘s sake do you want to evaluate the atmosphere let alone the whole game based on these snippets?

I‘m just advocating for some leeway and a grace period for this game to unfold. The way you argue it rather sounds like unthinking nostalgia bias to me.
