I love this game and why do I love it? Is it a perfect game? No. Well I've never really seen a perfect game but then again is it a very good game? Not really. But why do I love this game? I love this game because I loved playing it and I enjoyed every last minute I played this game. Yes it is cheesy but to me that's what I expected. More than in any other Risen game I feel the energy of the old Gothic games. To me the Gothic series is what got me into playing RPGs. And playing Risen 3 reminded me of these old games and there are so many "Gothic Moments" - little easter eggs for those who played the Gothic series. It just feels like a solid game. To me as a Gothic fan the Risen franchise is what I enjoy and thus I enjoyed Risen 3. The gameplay works fine and is easy to understand. The story, well is cheesy yeah but the atmosphere and the mood and the setting is perfect. Risen 3 is a mixture of Risen 1 and Risen 3. It's not 100% Pirates but it's not 100% Medieval Fantasy either. It's something between and to me this combination worked perfectly. I just had fun playing the game and I think that's what's important when you play and rate a game.
