The Armchair Empire writes: "The Gothic series has always had a lot of potential for being exceptional what with the sheer freedom of exploration, interesting combat, and well told stories. It's just too bad the series has also been riddled with bugs as well. It would appear that Gothic's publisher has noticed this, and, instead of simply deep sixing the series, has opted to place the next installment in the hands of a new developer, Spellbound."
