Wonderful game, be sure to set FPS to 89

Overall an interesting story, the one gripe I have is that it felt a bit long by the end, but I would not know what to take out. There is a lot crammed into the game, yet it doesn't feel small or overly forced, and everything is there for a reason. There are the usual Piranha Bytes features, most of which are great. A tough rise to power, opposing factions, fully open world neatly compressed with very little wasted space, a ham-fisted approach to romance (endure it for a half hour out of 50, then its gone and you can get back to your game) The failures of such a setup of the game is that you'll need to decide on a playstyle before having experienced it. I expected to be two-handing a greatsword by the end, but by that point my character had learned how to 1-hand such weapons, so sword-and-board it was. Eventually I was basically forced in an entirely different direction by the gear. In the same way, if you follow direction and heed certain warnings, no magic for you. My playstyle choice was only affected for the last few hours though, yours may not be at all. Regardless, there is some definite replayability to it. Because the different choices at the start will make your path through the game clearly very different. The voice acting overall is fairly good, excluding the usual romance-part that Piranha seems dead-set on putting in their games. It's not as a bad as Elex, but mostly since it didn't go anywhere. That may well have been my choices, but I felt no interest in pursuing a person I talked to twice during a 50-hour game. Overall, well worth its price. The visuals are good, though my standard is on artstyle more than fps or realism. There is some jank regarding this, as should be expected of Piranha. One particularly annoying bug I ran into being because it does not work above 90 FPS and will bug out leaving you unable to control anything and force-closing the game being your only solution. Forcing the FPS below 90 will fix that.

I enjoyed it.

This is a game for those patient gamers who don't mind doing heaps of little misc quests and dying over and over again. While I probably made it more challenging by never using a shield and refusing allot of NPC help, this game is quite hard. I thought everything was done pretty well: The combat takes a bit of getting used to but after a bit of practice and a few level ups it's really quite fun. The magic was probably one of my favorite aspects of the game (I regret not being a mage). Many a gorgeous in-game morning I cast a levitation spell from the highest point of the island and gently floated over the beautiful landscapes looking for a new place to explore. The quests can get a bit tedious but they're all quite varied and I enjoyed most of them. By far the biggest drawback for me was the end questline. It looks good on paper but it just didn't seem to work, I got a bigger sense of achievement from finishing some of the side quests than I did for completing the actual game. The only other problem I had was with the nameless hero, he's a bit of a jerk and it didn't really feel right saving the world with him. Overall I'm glad I bought it and I did enjoy it though I'm not sure whether I'll ever play it again.

illegal in Australia

I got this game only because it was illegal in Australia for some odd reason.....I played through twice and have not seen any offending materiallet alone turned into a criminal. The game itsself is quite enjoyable, you start off as a guy on a beach with nothing and work your way up to badarse........and trust me when your leveling up you feel like your actualy acheving something. The story is a little genaric but good and the seanery was rather pretty to look at. all in all I would say to buy it...especially if your an Australian.

Game where you can feel like at home!

As a really huge Gothic fan I have to say that this game is really something what Gothic fans was waiting for. Story is quite similar, climate is also great. For me it's just like another Gothic game. Of course a lot of people would say that this game is much worst then the Gothic 1 or 2 but the truth is that Gothic and 2 brings you a nostalgia and this game is something the same with a little differences which are fitable. And please be honest, after Gothic 3, nothing can be worst :). Anyway, I really recomend that game for every Gothic fans and RPG fans in general. Gothic gamelay could be very tough for a lot of you guys, apecially younger gamers but this is also something "special" for these games. I still not finished this one, but I cannot wait to do that and start playing Risen 2. Cheers!

Unplayable Garbage

My entire review solely discusses why you should not buy the game in its current form. This is a "new" and "improved" version, PBs new overlords forced upon us which some outsourced company made to port it to newer consoles. It is quite hilarious to start up the game and get greeted by a "Press (Xbox A-Button) to continue" ... on PC ... without a controller plugged in. Yeah, it might look a bit better in 16:9 now, but who cares, when the gameplay is broken? I bet there are a lot of bugs they didnt fix or they introduced with this version, but none is so bothersome and gamebreaking like the "parry bug", which makes blocking hits of your opponent a bad idea, because if you dare to hold down the blockbutton, you might be able to block (with a longer delay than it used to be) BUT after the block the RisenHero performs a parryanimation, which roots you in place and makes you incredibly vulnerable for incoming hits and impossible to attack your opponent. This, additional to how delayed and slow the combat feels now, utterly **breaks** the game. Sure, the original game also had its issues, bugs and glitches, but we are talking about the MAIN MECHANICS of the game. To add insult to injury: THQ raised the prices with the release of the 2023 Update from 10 to 15 bucks. Patches that came afterwards to Steam (only via Beta-branches) never became released Patches, so on GoG you're shit out of luck ... but even on Steam people are just questioning what happened to the Patches (and whats gonna happen to all the bugs that came with the update) ... 11 months after the Update. You can't simply use an old Version here either - I tried all 4 with no luck. At some point they changed the entire (folder)structure of it, you can import your games, but to load them you need to manually copy and paste them into the correct folder (it still saves in the new location and the reference to the old save is lost). Tried it with the offline backup file too, but that one just throws errors.
