Pra mim o melhor exemplo da filosofia da Piranha Bytes em ação. Exploração livre que recompensa dominar o jogo mecanicamente, bom enredo, eu pude viver e chamar Faranga de lar por muitos dias, conheci seus habitantes, vivi suas histórias. A jogabilidade é o mais polido que Piranha já entregou o que não significa perfeito nem perto disso, nada de tire esse jogo de um lugar especial pra mim.
I was alone. It was winter and I was sitting in my 17m² one-room apartment in Göttingen in my first semester of a study program that I hated. It was snowing quite heavily and on YouTube, a fresh let's player named Gronkh had uploaded a video series on Risen. I saw this game, knew it was from one of my favorite developers and had to have it. So I made my way through the snow to Media Markt and bought a way too overpriced version of the game. I didn't regret it. It was the Gothic 3 I had always dreamed of. To this day, this game has the best combat system Piranha Bytes has ever developed. Music, setting and quest design were again top notch and I could fully immerse myself for some time in this beautiful world. Why did I only play it once? I don't know. I watched a lot of let's plays but didn't play it again myself, maybe I should change that.
Just like Gothic, it's got that great feeling of getting stronger and gaining people's respect while joining a faction. Plot's pretty neat, combat's fun... it gets weaker in the last chapter when you no longer have much to do with NPCs and all that's left is to go through dungeons, but it's overall a pretty good game.
