A captivating game

Dont know why but this game with its landscape, music, history, characters, gives you a feeling of immersion and familiarity with the island and its inhabitants. I find myself reinstalling it time to time just to feel its experience again. I think the combat difficulty that many complain just add to the feeling of you just being another person in this world, its not like in games whre you are so strong you can just go doing crazy stuff anywhere. I higly reccomend.

Worth it, for every single broken moment

To start off, this is Gothic 3, only less crap. It's a different story, but has the exact same mechanics and it's a hell of a lot more polished. The thing with Risen is that, to appreciate it, you need to be able to appreciate janky RPGs. This isn't AAA material; but it adds to the charm. It's often in these games you can see some neat ideas that don't get overshadowed by the result of an overbearing budget. So, you're a dude, you wash up on an island; the island is split between a band of bandits and a religious order. Pick your poison, do your side-quests, get to know the world and the characters. The main quest overstays its welcome and the story is forgettable, but between the hero being a jerk and dialogue that really paints a complete picture of the game world, Risen becomes very absorbing. Problems include the lack of variety in the game world and the terrible combat mechanics. There is a delay between input and action and the lock-on system does more harm than good. There are some nifty mechanics for crafting and leveling that carry over from Gothic 3 and the game's better for it. Unfortunately, the game tends to punish multi-classing, so careful with where you choose to spend your learning points. Still, for about half its duration, Risen is totally worth it, if you've enjoyed games like Witcher 1 and Two Worlds. It needs work, skill and overstays its welcome, but for the first 20 hours, you feel part of the world and the evolution of your character is so very organic, it makes it one of the better role-playing experiences of old, despite having a fully-voiced, uncustomizable protagonist.

Gothic 2 Lite

Risen is so like Gothic 2, it feels like an expansion pack. Problem is, enjoying it depends on you not having played Gothic 2. The maps & quests are so similar, I felt like they just took Gothic 2 & reskinned it. And playing it a second time doesn't make it more fun. In fact, as far as difficulty goes, Risen is more like Gothic 1 - stealing is easy (AI is mediocre), leveling up and improving stats is a breeze, collecting gold is as easy as breathing, & oftentimes I'd find myself biting more than I could chew, with no repercussions whatsoever. Because just like Gothic 1 & 2, you can use the environment to take on foes much stronger than you. You simply lure a monster from its pack using a long range weapon, pin it to a wall & whack repeatedly, or simply attack from afar. You can also climb some object you're not supposed to be able to climb, and use a bow or crossbow to mow down a dozen enemies at once. Plus, herbs & weapons are scattered generously throughout the map, making it easy to roam it. Oftentimes I'd finish quests before ever receiving them. I don't remember Gothic 2 being this easy. Graphics are nice, despite everyone looking the same, and having hideous faces, but I much preferred Gothic 1 & 2's outdated graphics - again, maybe because I played them before playing Risen. The monsters in this game are also rather uninspired, and it takes a while for the more interesting ones to appear. As far as plot, there isn't any. Risen is pretty much a game without a cohesive plotline - rather a collection of sidequests. You're a no-name shipwreck survivor, whose entire goal in life is giving A to B for gold and experience points. There isn't the large overarching story Gothic 2 had. Not only that, but somehow the map feels smaller, or at least as if less thought went into it. Nothing feels natural - you can sense the devs' influence throughout. But despite it all I was willing to keep going, until I finally decided to enter the town, & the game came to a halt.

Hand-crafted world

An excellent RPG in an incredibly detailed, hand-crafted world that feels alive and impacted by your presence. Every plant and flower was seemily placed by a designer, meaning that each step off the beaten path is rewarded by some kind of reward or prize. Enemies generally remain dead because you've killed them and there's no natural reason for them to respawn. NPCs have personality, go about their daily business, like patrolling or sleeping. Difficult enemies are difficult until you have the stats and skills to beat them. This sucessor to the Gothic series (minus the Arcania mess) takes the idea of a living world to the next level, which would later be emulated by so many other game studios, but still remains one of the greats. The game is, nonetheless, dated. The combat isn't the best. The AI stinks. There are a handful or large choices, like which of the three factions to join, but no Larian Studios type interactions. It's an old game. But it's a groundwork game, like it's grandfather, Gothic, that should be better regarded than it is. I tend to think of Gothic, Gothic 2, Gothic 3, and Risen 1 (Risen 2, Risen 3, Elex, and Elex 2 get close) as some of the best games ever made, not because of gameplay or story, but because the worlds are just such joys to be in and explore. It's well worth your time to check this game out if you like open-world RPGs, if only to see where some of the best ideas came from. 4/5 Stars - Combat could have been better - even for the time.

Niezapomniana przygoda

Piranha Bytes nie raz pokazała, że pomimo wielu błędów, wpadek i potknięć nadal potrafi robić świetne i wciągające gry. Taki był Gothic i taki jest Risen, bardzo często słusznie nazywany "godnym następcą Gothic'a". Pierwsze chwile z grą spędziłem bardzo miło. Grafika oraz muzyka idealnie wprowadziły mnie w klimat Farangi, a ukryte lokalizacje i znajdźki bardzo często dawały upust mojej satysfakcji wciskania nosa gdzie tylko można. Fabuła jest bezbłędna i sama motywowała mnie do parcia naprzód i rozwiązywania zadania za zadaniem. Podróżowanie po wyspie sprawiało radość nawet pomimo zdarzającym się lataniu kilkakrotnie przez jedną i tą samą drogę. Wraz z postępami świat zmieniał się również z nami. Coraz więcej nowych przeciwników wychodziło nam naprzeciw, więc jedna i ta sama droga wcale nie była bezpieczna nawet i za tym drugim razem. Same potwory też były także były są wyznacznikiem tego gdzie możemy iść, a gdzie jest jeszcze za wcześnie, żeby iść. Naturalna bariera dla gracza, którą Risen świetnie tłumaczy, tak samo jak i faktem, że wokół jest morze i niezbyt jest jeszcze gdzie iść. Dodatkowym smaczkiem jest fakt, że lądując na tej wyspie jako rozbitek jesteś tak samo traktowany i wraz z kolejnymi postępami to się zmienia. Jest to jak najbardziej na plus i dodaje wyspie życia i niezależności. Nie wkraczamy na scenę jako bohater w pelerynie, tylko na swoją reputację musimy sobie zapracować. Znajdą się minusy i tutaj. Jednak nie na tyle wielkie, by odejmować jej oceny. System walki ma automatyczne namierzanie przeciwnika, który często wprowadza chaos podczas walki z kilkoma przeciwnikami naraz i wprowadza więcej zamieszania niż pożytku. Choć rzadko to zdarzają się błędy, które wyrzucają mnie poza tekstury, ale to dopiero jak się o to postaram. No i końcowa walka z bossem była niemałym rozczarowaniem, ale żadnych spojlerów nie będzie. Co do Risena jednego jestem w 100% pewien - odwiedzę Farangę ponownie i to nie raz!
