Gothic 1 Remake captures the harsh, unforgiving charm of the original with big visual gains, even if the jank remains.

Playing through Neon Blood it is easy to see that it is a labor of love from some passionate developers. The pixel artwork and setting of the game are impressive and gorgeous looking at times and there is a certain level of detail to the world building that feels like there could be so much more to the game. But that feeling is sadly one that persists throughout many aspects of it, as the storyline itself isn’t bad but lacks impact thanks to its short length and lack of background details for certain characters outside of Mc Coin and the combat is bare bones at best and lackluster at its worst. With a handful of bugs accompanying it as well, it feels like Neon Blood could have been much more.
