Arcania - Review Flood #3
by Gorath, 2010-10-19 21:10:24
Arcania reviews are still coming in rather slowly.
- The Gamespot and
- Rock, Paper, Shotgun articles have already been dealt with in another newsbit.
- The GameInformer reviewer writes: "Arcania isn't what anyone thought Gothic 4 would be. It's a marginally competent action/RPG with all the depth of a kiddie pool, not the huge open-world role-playing epics the series was previously known for. At least it isn't afflicted by the plague of bugs that crippled Gothic 3 at release. I didn't hate my time with it, and it's by no means impossible to find some value here. Just know what you're getting into before taking the plunge." - 6.75/10
- CNet - 2.5/5 (XBox). Same article as Gamespot.
- GamesRadar - 6/10 (XBox)
- OnlineWelten.de - 60% (PC), 55% (XBox)
- Computerspiele - 7.6/10
- GamersGlobal.de - 6.0/10
- The most interesting German article today is no review. NinjaLooter.de has an opinion piece titled (transl.) Rating Wrangling: Arcania is junk, no great, damn it!. It deals with inconsistencies in Arcania reviews, including many examples from bigger sites.
