Everything you've heard about this game is true and then some. One of the worst games I've played. No redeeming qualities whatsoever. A poorly optimized mess of a game with countless bugs and frame drops, a dumbed down combat system compared to old Gothic games and a mediocre and forgettable generic story. Thankfully Piranha Bytes has the rights to the franchise now and the 'Gothic 4' part of the title of this game has since been removed from all digital releases.
