Gothic 3 Classic (Switch 2)

The sheer scale of this world is staggering; I spent hours just wandering and still found new caves and camps. The class-free skill system really lets you build exactly the kind of character you want, which is a nice change from being locked into a path.

The AI that makes every villager feel like they have their own life is wild, I spent an hour just eavesdropping on conversations. Being able to level up without picking a class lets me actually play how I want.

The sheer scale of this open world is genuinely staggering—I’ve wandered for hours without hitting an invisible wall, just stumbling into new settlements and quests. The class-free progression means I’m building a hybrid mage-thief that actually feels like mine, not some preset archetype.
