Strategy Informer has taken a look at DreamCatcher Interactive's compilation of Piranha Bytes' Gothic games, bundled together as Gothic Universe. They score the collection at 7.9/10:
Conclusion:Gothic Universe combines the first three Gothic games into one convenient package for a slightly higher than budget price. The good thing about the package is that unlike many of the lesser, cheap game series compilations, it actually contains a jewel case for your game discs. Also of note is the fact that the game includes the gold edition of Gothic II, which contains the original game and the Night of the Raven expansion. Other than that, the Gothic Universe package is very anemic – you just get the game discs, and a copy of the Gothic 3 manual – everything else is in digital form. It’s a bit of a shame given that they could do so much more for a series package for games the size of the Gothic titles – why not bump up the price and throw in some playguides, soundtracks or something like that to make it that little bit more special? Fortunately, the games in the package are rather good.
More information.Gothic Universe is certainly a package stuffed to the brim with gameplay, offering up three fully fledged RPGs for a bit over the regular budget price point. While we all would have liked a Gothic compilation package with some bonus materials, the Universe compilation should prove adequate for anyone looking to see what all the fuss is about. Gothic Universe is perfect for someone that’s looking for a good chunk of gameplay, but isn’t prepared to drop too much coin.
