Reminded of how sad I was that Piranha Bytes were closed and another studio was given the development duties for Gothic Remake.
It’s always nice to see the original team involved in the remake and it was sad how this happened.

That first attempt of remake (with demo from 2019) was a shitshow, with no respect for original game. Luckily, community was loud enough for them to scrap everything and go back to drawing table. I found approach in new demo from last year to be pretty good - it's feels new, yet remains some of the necessary clunkiness of the original. I do expect...tourists...to be polite, to be fussy about it, but in the end it's irrelevant if original fans are satisfied and THQ makes profit.

Dang its June already? Oof. Yeah I expect my list to change a bit once everything is said and done with SGF, SoP, Xbox Presents, and the long fabled Nintendo Direct… looking forward to finally having OoT Remake as (1.) on my list for a few months.

Nice to see a #1 finish for Starfox, given it only got the one month to run before its release month.
Thanks for your hard work as usual axum!
Yeah, that looks about right.
Gothic is cult classic among, let's say...traditional PC RPG gamers, especially in Europe, but it's not widely known among mainstream audience, so those poll results made no sense.
