NowGamer gives it a 4.9/10:
If old-school RPGs are your thing, Gothic 4 should be right up your street, but for everyone else there are infinitely better games out there that are far more worthy of your time.
Hold Start Select gives it a 6.5/10:
Although fundamentally being a decent RPG, Gothic 4 just isn't with the times. Nothing in this game from .o-to-woe' seems original. The lack of any depth in the game just isn't on-par with what is out now or even what came out a few years ago. I did enjoy the game but it certainly will not be one that is remembered in a few years to come.
And Hooked Gamers gives it a 6.9/10:
What Spellbound did, it did with polish. It executed the RPG genre's most basic mechanics well. Every object in the game is meticulously detailed and all the interfaces are easy to use. Not once did the game crash, and I never encountered a broken quest or even an errant pixel.
But I also never encountered a memorable moment. I never experienced an epic battle or even felt challenged. I started out with the purpose of avenging my murdered family, and then I succeeded. Everything in between seems so inconsequential and forgettable.
