The better Gothic with good controls.
The better Gothic with good controls. The first two Gothic games were unplayable because of the terrible controls and terrible combat system. Risen (3) is perfect. You can play it with Xbox controller (Xpadder) too! I have all 3 Risen games on all systems and love all Risen games.

Bad balance, but step in right direction
Risen 3 seems to be a return to Risen 1, and even the original Gothic series, following mobile-game-esque Risen 2. Sadly, not a lot was done to shake off the bad aspects of Risen 2, nor to make the game memorable. Many of the aspects of Risen 2 are still here - the same map, the same characters, the same stupid mini games, the same cheap traps. You're still able to quickly jump to key locations - only this time you use teleports, like in Two Worlds, and the map you have still tells you where exactly to go to complete a quest - no challenge or thought needed. Leveling up is again not very important, since like in Risen 2 you get a companion that will help make tough enemies easy, and unlike Risen 2, they never leave you. Your companion can also heal you. They are tweaked somewhat from Risen 2, which makes their AI poor - they're slow to react, rarely attack monsters on sight, and opt to heal you when you're being attacked, instead of distracting your attacker. But although incredibly useless sometimes, you don't really need them. Monsters rarely respawn, unlike Risen 2, so clear an island once, and you're done. In addition, each island has some overpowered person who wants a hunting companion, and you can use that quest to clear most of the island. At one time I had three companions - not exactly fair odds. Combat tries to be strategic, with you being forced to learn the different monsters' patterns, but after a certain level you're better off spamming the attack key. If your sword doesn't do the trick, you can use a pistol, which has a shorter cooldown period than in Risen 2, so you can fire bullet after bullet at an opponent, without them hitting you once. I eventually became invulnerable, being a demon hunter. Didn't need to buy equipment, and didn't bother with potions, plants, amulets, etc. There are plenty of chests around, and too many mindless fetch quests, and annoying inescapable action sequences. The world is beautiful, but the game ends in a whimper.

Not great but quite good
Decent graphics but the scenario is quite average (though I would not say that it's poor). The skill system is OK. If you are careful, you'll even manage to get all the attributes to upper limit;-). The inventory is also quite good. Though I played with Crystal Mage and I didn't need the inventory too much: I was the killing machine myself:-).

Avoid if you suffer from motion sickness
The graphics and gameplay are good but the way the screen rolls around when playing started to make me feel queasy. Set the sensitivity to the lowest option and zoomed the camera in but still happened. The only other game I played that caused nausea like this was Gothic 3 so I should have realised when it was by the same company. Thankfully I bought it on sale so will bin it.
