It's rather nice musically, too.

If you like the music in Arcania, you're in for a pleasant surprise when you play the other Gothics.

Arcania has the least impressive musical score of the series.

I'm a Gothic-virgin, and I've just cut my teeth on the demo of ArcaniA (I'm not far into it, though).

Overall, so far, it seems like another Divinity 2 in terms of how it feels - Flawed but with potential. I think I need to play on!

Notes: Playing on "Easy", High graphics settings (Which need tweaking) and with the European filter.

You meant play on "hard".

Make sure to read parts of our review again to understand what kind of game you're going to get.
I don't really see many similarities to Divinity 2.

Arcania is no Gothic. Almost everything which made Gothic great was removed.

Of course, I rarely buy blind these days.

For me the similarity lies in the visuals. ArcaniA is much prettier, but it looks a lot (In my opinion) like Broken Valley from Div 2.
