Gothic was well received by critics. Reviewers credited the game for its story, complex interaction with other in-game characters, and graphics, but criticized it for the difficult control scheme and high system requirements. It was the first game of the game series of the same name.

In 2020, THQ Nordic greenlit a Gothic remake for production.
