About the Game
Gothic 1 Remake rebuilds the 2001 open-world RPG classic for modern PCs, with a living colony, faction choices, and a discounted Taiwan price right now.
Gothic 1 Remake is a single-player action RPG and a remake of the original Gothic, which first appeared in 2001. The store page describes it as a faithful rebuild that keeps the original's open-world approach and sense of freedom, so you can go wherever you like and shape your own path through the story. It is built on current-generation technology, but the aim is to preserve the feel of the classic rather than turn it into something else.
The setting is a prison colony. The kingdom of Myrtana faces an orc invasion, so the king orders magic ore mined at the Khorinis mine and sends prisoners there to dig it out. A magical barrier goes wrong and traps everyone inside. The prisoners rebel and turn the colony into a lawless place run by the most brutal inmates. As the mining factions grow tense, the king has to negotiate with these new rulers, and a prisoner of unknown identity arrives and changes everything.
The core loop is exploration, faction choice, and survival. The world is dark and detailed, and its residents and wildlife follow their own daily routines of working, sleeping, and eating, independent of the player. You pick one of three factions, and that choice affects the abilities you gain and how your playstyle develops. Combat has been modernized while keeping a deliberate, strategic core, and the store page stresses that it does not require quick reactions.
What stands out is the scale and the freedom. The store page advertises more than 50 hours of play, new secrets, expanded quests, extra NPC routines, new travel options, and a rebuilt combat system. Support for adjustable difficulty, saving at any time, and camera comfort options suggests the game is meant to be approached at your own pace.

Who It Is (and Is Not) For
Recommended For
Players who enjoy old-school open-world RPGs where you make your own way will get the most out of this remake. If you like deliberate combat, a dense world with NPCs who keep their own schedules, and a story that unfolds through exploration, it is a strong pick. Fans of the original Gothic should also appreciate how closely the remake follows its spirit.
Not Recommended For
Players who want fast, reflex-driven combat or heavy guidance may find the pace and the demanding fights frustrating. Anyone who needs Traditional Chinese text should look elsewhere, since the game does not list it. Those who prefer tightly scripted stories may also find the open structure too loose.
What the Steam Reviews Say
Gothic 1 Remake carries a Very Positive label on Steam, shown as 極度好評 in Taiwan wording, with 88% of its reviews positive. That percentage is strong, and the review volume runs to tens of thousands of reviews, so the rating reflects a large sample rather than a handful of opinions. In practice, it means most players who finished or spent time with the game recommended it.
Steam calculates these labels from the share of positive reviews and the total number of reviews, so a high percentage backed by a large count is generally more trustworthy than the same percentage from a small group. A small review count can swing sharply after a few opinions, which is not the case here. Since the score covers reviews across the game's history, it is worth reading recent reviews as well to see how players judge the current version.

All prices below are Taiwan Steam store prices in NT$. The current price is NT$ 809, down 25% from the regular price of NT$ 1079. The highest price we recorded is NT$ 1079, and the lowest paid price we recorded is NT$ 809, set on October 30, 2026, which is also the latest price on our record.
Our price record for this game is still short, so the verdict here is tentative. The game has been discounted often in what we have logged, and we have not recorded any free-to-keep period for it. Because the current price matches the lowest price in our short record, we cannot yet say whether a deeper cut is likely soon.
If you want the game now, the current NT$ 809 price is a reasonable entry point based on what we have seen so far. If you prefer to wait, wishlisting it and turning on sale notifications is a sensible way to catch a future drop, and we will keep tracking the price here as our record grows.
