How Risen can remain a successful ongoing franchise is a mystery. While the first instalment was entertaining in its own way, its sequel was a buggy, ludicrously written mess of a title which rivalled Two Worlds at times. Yet here we are with an unwanted threequel. Sadly, if you weren’t impressed by previous outings, you’re not going to like this one either.
Following on from Risen 2, the game sees the land abandoned by the gods and ravaged by the Titan Lords, and to cap it all a new threat is arising from the shadows. A lone warrior, stripped of his soul by this mysterious force, may be the only hope of stopping it before all is lost.
Ownership over several titles gets shuffled in THQ Nordic and Koch Media arrangement. Potential remasters, sequels, ports, and more on the horizon.
Both THQ and Koch Media are owned by the same larger company, the Embracer Group. I’m not sure why the publishing rights would need to be swapped.
I hope they release risen on switch It's a underrated game all so
DBC: “Out of the multitude of terrific genres out there, it’s fair to say that role-playing games have the potential to be the most ambitious and immersive experiences of the bunch.”
Remnant is also a pleasant surprise and it was only $40. I'm a big supporter of mid tier gaming, as long as it has mid tier prices.
Outward, Technomancer, Kingdoms of Amaleur and Kingdom Come are gems, and they're personally the good kind of b-tier RPGs. Not a big fan of both Risen 3 and Bound by Flame, although I can definitely say that Risen 3 is a better pirate rpg than Raven's Cry.
And as for Greedfall? Definitely excited for it. Hoping it will be the devs' magnum opus.
Elex is pretty decent, but extremely difficult at first until you level up a lot and get better gear. I died countless times from the start. Just stick with it and keep doing quests, often times running away is necessary.
Joseph Shaffer says: "Tarnished, but ultimately worthwhile booty."
This game is never a 3/10, stupid and very short review. The game deserves at least a 5/10 for what it offers, everything beyond that is a matter of taste. I would give it 7,5/10.
One day, id like to read a review for a low budget game that doesn't get crapped on and actually taken on its merits. Guess this isn't the day.
I've played all these games and enjoyed them fully. yes, they are not triple A titles, but you will get your moneys worth. 7 is a good score to hover at. Not this drivel the author is posting here.
I understand it is his/her opinion...but speak truth don't just right from the gut.
Others would like to know about the game itself not just feelings.
