Risen 3: Titan Lords

[Googolplex]

I accept your opinion and your critics. But one thing is not true: It's not buggy and it's not broken. But there are some worse things. The first bad thing is the tutorial (intro sequence where the game starts). This is no longer the professional design that PB always created. But later the game becomes much better. An other worse thing are as we mentioned before, the monster animations. But only for the monsters! When I look back to 2001 where Gothic 1 was releaaed, the monsters acted and moved a lot more realistic. But here the character animations were not really good. But let's be honest. A good game doesn't need ultra real graphics or animations. There are a lot of old games that are much better to play than most modern DX11 triple-A hypes. An other bad thing of Risen 2 and 3 is the loot/inventory screen. When you find a chest this will no longer happen in-game. An inventory screen opens. This is very bad design. Or when you equip items you'll see the protagonist's body in a menu screen. Bad! Then the HUD could be a lot more decent. HUD always breaks the immersion. Also there shouldn't be quest pop-up messages and all that casual RPG elements! The last major thing are some dialogs that are not rough enough like the fans enjoyed in Gothic 1 (german original). The protagonist in Risen is no longer a "piece of dirt" rather he is a bit like a hero. But not a super-hero with big armors and an arsenal of weapons. What I mean is just that Risen is a bit simplified.

This are the bad things of Risen 2/3. But the world, the gameplay, the story-telling wise, the design and all that is brillant and caused a very unique experience. There is nothing broken or buggy. In most aspects it is made very professional. Believe that or not.
