Can I Run Gothic II?
Gothic II is an action role playing game from Piranha Bytes, released in 2010. THQ Nordic published it. It offers a single player campaign. The game ships for Windows alone. Its Metacritic score stands at 79. It is old enough that no current GPU generation existed when it shipped, so modern hardware tends to be far past what it can use. Its Steam review count passes 12 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. It is localised into 7 languages according to the store listing.
