Uhm, no.

Arcania, which launched as Arcania: Gothic 4 is game that came into existence when Piranha Bytes, creators of Gothic, one of the best WRPG series out there, parted their ways with publisher JoWood and latter hiring Spellbound to make sequel to Gothic 3 (which they miserably failed).

It's really not very good game, and though Fable 3 was a big let down, this is a lot worse.

why do you think its a bad game? I really like it so far. The gameplay is very similar to fable imo. Feel free to give some reasons :)

I haven't said it's a bad game per se (then again, I would play almost anything from the genre) - I said it's not very good. But my point of view is from someone who considers Gothic 1/2 to be best western action-RPG open world games, and I find even Gothic 3 more enjoyable (for my taste) than, let's say Witcher 3. Arcania: Gothic 4 was a massive let down for Gothic fans, not fully unexpected though given that it's not Piranha Bytes game.

Similarly, Fable 1 and 2 were really good games (though I prefer 1), Fable 3 was quite a dissapointment compared to them...yet, not as big as Arcania compared to Gothic 1/2/3.

It's still playable game, but not in the league with Fable 1/2...and certainly not in league with Gothic 1/2.
