Save your game in 3 files right before you choose a faction and then you can have a file for each faction.

risen 3 was a huge improvement after risen 2 , i really enjoed it& finished it for all 3 fractions. But i prefer that they would rather continue improving their great gothic-like setting with hand made world & emersive quest system that was in risen 1.

Risen 3 was probably the only Piranha Bytes game that I genuinely enjoyed the combat. The exploration is also quite fun. They have a talent for making the world of the game really inviting for you to explore.

I actually just started risen 1 for the first time yesterday, so far I'm enjoying it a lot.

They have grown considerably from Risen 2 to Risen 3. Patty's milk jugs have grown.

I was confused when I first played Risen 3, thinking that will be only pirates but after finding the Dark Warriors and their faction lore, I fell instantly in love with that faction. Risen 3 has its charms and its an improvement from Risen 2.

Recently started playing this and man am I loving it. Pb are so good at what they do cannot wait for elex 2

I really liked the maps in Risen3. What I didnt like was that you couldn't man the ship (except for some battles later on) and go to the different islands on the map yourself...maybe put marine monsters along the way or NPC ships that attack you. That would have been a great mechanic.

It has good combat, I recommend you fight with first officer you meet, and keep fighting him just with swords practicing blocking mechanic, which is seems strange but when you master it, you'll see it is very good combat system.

Very nice to see this almost 10 years after release. I wrote some of the charakters; lore and legendary items, when i worked at piranha bytes, long time ago :)

I had a good time with the game. It's clunky for sure, but it kept me coming back to it.

Currently doing an Elex playthrough for the first time and my first PB game and I gotta, say, I'm very hyped to go through their backlog. I've always heard the hype around the gothic games, but they really didn't age well (at least visually), so I never really jumped into them. However, after playing Elex, I gotta say, I love their work and I'm very excited to see both Gothic and Risen. PS: Also, I see that Elex 2 seems to be a thing, so I guess it's all great timing :D

I love Risen 3! Had a few bugs but nothing a save and quit didn’t fix. I mean still had less bugs than any Bethesda game. There is so much to do in Risen 3, so many ways to go about things, so many places to explore. I played it and Greedfall recently and they are my two favorites RPGs without a doubt. Go buy this game! It’s so worth it and funds the developer for making more.

I bought this awhile ago but never finished the tutorial. I need to go back and start again because I really enjoyed ELEX.

Good video, I remember finishing the game many years ago and enjoying it but other than that I can't recall anything about the game, definitely gone play it again.

loved risen 3 i remember it being very tough or janky at first but once you learn a few movies the combat gets really fun

Dodging should always have invincibility imo. I died so much in Elex trying to dodge out of the way and being hit mid dodge.

I actually pre ordered this when it came out and loved it, was really into the risen series.

What I always liked about piranha's games is that the exploration feels very rewarding.

I remember playing this game on ps3 and that is the first time that I've played an rpg game before, pretty crazy that it all started here and now rpg's are one of my favorite genres of games

hello man!! love your videos, im a huge fan of rpgs too, do you plan on dedicating something to neverwinter nights? im not sure if you have a video on it already but i consider it to be a very good old rpg, i consider it to be a personal favorite and one of the reasons i love rpgs so much!

I am thankful to my friend for inviting me to play the Risen trilogy. Even if I played Gothic, Elex and am a great fan of them, I was already been blocked for other games due to the lack of free time or just didn't want to play new games ( I mean ones I haven't play before ) .

I’ve always had a interest in this game. I have quite a few games in my backlog. It looks like my type of game though! I really like the power fantasy, whether medieval or Sci-Fi games. Maybe time to give it a try.

Risen 3 was my first game rpg and you now I love it

I can't even play Risen 3... got it on my PS pro and after about 30 hours gameplay, the game bugged out and corrupted my save so i tried it on my other playstation and made sure to turn the autosave off so i can make sure not to save whilst its bugging out, same thing happened again though

Bought it for 5€ on PSN. Played like 15 hours and really liked it. Gotta get on it again.

The pirates and islands setting made me overlook this game as I did overlook Risen 2. Now that I know it's not much about pirates, I will surely try it. Thanks for the review :)

I started this game for the first time arround 2017, never got too much into it though

PB games have a certain magic about them. Its hard to discribe, but there's hardly anything like it.

Subbed, I liked, I'll try this game now xxx cheers friend

I just bought it an hour ago. Will check it out when I can! Thank you for the review.

I would say join a faction as soon as possible. No quests are locked off if you join a faction, and joining a faction gives you access to spells.

I picked it up on a psn sale in 2018 or 19 was surprisingly good.

Never played 2 or 3. 1 was actually pretty good. Don't think I ever completed it just remember the island and weather changes where alway good. See the storms coming in looked awesome for its day!

I think I'll give this game a chance again, last time I played and couldn't keep up was back in 2018

For some strange reason I loved Risen 2 way more - even every PB fan hated it. And I could not finish Risen 3 either.

I see that you're playing using a controller. How is combat on mouse and keyboard? I never, ever use a controller (which leaves me out of racing games), so I'm curious if combat translates well to mouse and keyboard?

the thing that Piranha Bytes i really really really good at is creating a believable world... with all its characters, quest and the enviroment. you can find people or items behind and under every stone basically! so their biggest strengh is world building, the reast is more like "meeeeeh" but i love them, played the shit out of Gothic 1 and 2 back in the days!

Been using Opera since like 2006-2008 when not that many people knew about it. Never stopped using it since.

Damn I feel invested with the original character. Why they have to change? I will still play this eventually.

Just started risen 3 in 2021, was a huge fan of first hated 2nd. But this one i think it has its own charm, janky as hell but it adds to the game some how. Its got some really ambitious machanics, spells and use of some items are unique. So far im impressed. Its like a janky fable thats some how addictive. Lol

Good review. I just finished Arcania and I was recommended Risen 3.

I’ve cleared the game three times already, once as the voodoo pirates and twice as the guardians. Why? The third time I was dead set on becoming a demon hunter, but holy shit their armor looks so bad I just couldn’t bear it.

I was enjoying the game but then the known bug with the ship cutscene happened and i couldnt get the game to load up. New saves didnt help game would not progress.

Rise 3 bugged at the end for me . Got aö weapons 105 attributes and and and but on the last island my Game resets to progress to the tutorial . Means im on the last island but all the npcs act like first conversation so i cant finish

Never played Risen 3. After watching this...I'm curious!

lets say you don't want to finish the game in all factions what faction do u recommend for the first run and maybe only not sure but I'm enjoying it tho

Risen 3 is an amazing game, i just finished it. If you like gothic games, all risen games are a must to play.

Been replaying trough the Risen games for the last two months now, almost done with Risen 2 now, so I will replay Risen 3 very soon. Risen 1 is def. the best in the trilogy, 2nd being the worst and 3rd being like some sort of a mixed bag to me. It was def. more of Risen 2 than it was more of Risen 1, so I was def. not super happy with the game on it's original release. Does not help the fact the game reuses a lot of crap from the 2nd game, even locations. Both 2nd and 3rd game might not be top quality RPG's, but they offer a lot of fun to me personally and ofc they have that PB charm. Speaking of them, are they delaying a new game that was supposed to come out this year? I heard nothing from them the entire year, and back in december they said they will announce a new game this year and even release it. I know covid happened, but where are the updates? Anyway, great video as always friend from the neighbor country ;) (croatian here).

I'd be curious to know your overall opinion of this vs. Elex. Which would you say you preferred as a whole package?

I booted it up again and want to play it this times. Is it really bad to join factions early?

Thus is what did it for me. I couldn't do the pirate theme. Loved G 3 but gave up after risen 1 for elder scrolls.

I just started the game, 5 hours in. I must say i am surprised. Actually i like it very much. As a die hard Gothic 1 and 2 fan, i was caught in the feeling that Risen2 and 3 are garbage. But If You get past the stupid beggining, IT actually opens up in The right way. Also i found out something about the melle combat: when you left click on the right time, your blade will have a blue "aura". This can help a lot for timeing combos better. Is very similar to Witcher 1 combat, but The mecanic is not explined in The game.

i started by playing Risen 3 and really enjoyed it, therefor i played Risen 2 after it ... but i still not decided about Risen 1 although i heard it's the best of the three, Risen 1 graphics and animations looks really outdated (wish if they reworked it, at least with Risen 3 engine) ... about Pirate theme i actually like it ...

Ah, you dragged another skeleton from my rpg closet. I started the game several times and always somehow lost the steam to finnish it. Would be nice to see Risen 3 mechanics in Elex 2

"The game is really consistent with its quality of voice acting" did crack me up, Haha! And damn, now you made me want to play Risen 3. I basically skipped the whole risen series after I played a bit of Risen 1 and didn't like it. I then played Elex and liked it a lot (vibes of good old PrianhaBytes). But the stamina system there is not well implemented (balanced?) and making combat less fluid by forcing you to disengage and recover very often (especially at the start, where you can't perform more than like two or three attacks in a row).

Greer review. It’s $3.99 right now and was thinking of getting it as a what the heck kind of purchase.

My Risen 3 game is bugged after the third seafight the game crashes on my ps4 and my char stands in the ground of the map if i load it again. This happend 3 Times after i started a new game.

This game looks really cool. I can’t believe I never played it.

Great video Reall enjoyed Risen 3 although im not seeing it as a good part of Risen More like 1/2 and 3 is something entirely new. Still an amazing game.

risen 3 was actually my first pb game lmao, it's pretty good, specially the combat.

Gotta replay it after finishing with skyrim se modding haha

I enjoyed risen 1 and 2 alot ,but I tried risen 3 twice and I couldn't get into it sadly.

I have finished Risen 1 some time ago, now playing Risen 2, the first one is really good. Soon i will get to Risen 3.

Are you fond of RPG's and can you understand the slightly awkward humor of German / Central Europe then it is a good one

Took you up on that drink every time you hear quests. About dead… :)

I bought risen 2 and 3 on pre-order back in days. I was uber hyped for R2, and big dissapointed especially when we talk about combat. Clunky, not responsive, stuns on ur hero but ur enemy is not stuned when u hit them. I just wanted to asap end game and never turn on. I was sad as a fan of PB, and after how good Risen 1 were. My friend told me R3 looks good so i after watched trailer i gave them another credit, and i have to say this game is rll good. Maybe its not masterpiece like Gothic 1 or 2, but its combat is unique, smooth, and magic system as u mentioned has rll good animations wich makes u feel better in game. It feels rll sad that they didn't made those improvements into Elex. Anyway expect story(not bad, but boring), game is rll good, and i can give it solid 8/10. Every skill is usefull so it depends on ur playstyle wich way u go, not some meta wich is another good thing. Good revievs

Risen 3 is a nice game by itself, but I only found the will to finish it after I installed the "Real Enhanced Edition" mod. It makes the game really challenging, the character progression really rewarding, like a good Piranha Bytes game should be. Besides that, it also improves the visuals and even makes Patty look like herself again. I mean, to each their own, but if you are a fan of past PB games, especially Gothic 1 and 2, try playing Risen 3 on Ultra difficulty, with this mod on, and disable the minimap and quest markers. There you have it, that old "Gothic feeling" all over again. Now if only they could make a mod to make the three factions really unique, instead of feeling like reskins of the same skill set... Oh well... Here is a link to the mod for the curious: www.nexusmods.com/risen3/mods/6

This is for free with PlayStation Now in case anyone is thinking of trying it out.

My favorite PB games : 1 Gothic 2 ELEX 3 Risen 3 What do you guys think of my top 3 ?

I like the Pirate Setting and Risen 3 is a game I enjoy playing. Sure.. it has its flaws, but these flaws are not a gamebreaker for me, since I managed to learn the Mechanics and some things I can exploit. I love the Demon Hunters and the Voodoo Tribe of Kila! The Guardians are... ok, but nothing special in my oppinion. When I play as a Demon Hunter, I use the Voodoo spellscrolls and sometimes the Guardians' and when I play as a Voodoo Pirates, then the consumable Runes of the Demon Hunters are real lifesavers :)

my favourite combat systems are still Gothic 2 and Risen 1 ... I get that they have to adjust to newer technology but I think I even like the combat system of Risen 2 or 3 more than Elex just because it feels more fluent and responsive

I love Pyranja Bytes and their Games. Gothic, Elex, Risen I played and liked them all. For the voice acting: You dont hear that often, but in Risen 3 the german voice acting is better than the english one.

I could buy this for 4 € i played the demo on my xbox 360 back in the day and i liked it alot but i am older now and dont know if it is worth it

I really enjoyed this one.

I'm thinking of getting this on the playstation store on sale for 3.99

I like Risen 3 it was my first RPG

it's currently 75% off on the playstation store which makes it £3.99, an absolute steal.

Coming from risen 2 i remember that i rly loved this game, these days i hate it not because it is that bad of a game but because pb just chose to try and fix the broken combat and gameplay of risen 2 rather then go back to the systems that worked in risen 1. A lot of the time i get the feeling that the guys at pb are trying to proofe that every change the make is a good one by sticking to it rather then making the best game they could.

I bought it for 4€ on eneba and I must say I'm having fun with it. It's not the best but it's an enjoyable experience.

I finished Risen 2 and started Risen 3, just finished the main quest and now i'm hunting the few achievements that i'm missing, i need to say that i'm having a blast with Risen 3 I enjoyed a lot Risen 2 but Risen 3 it's my favorite, Risen 3 is a huge improvement from Risen 2 and the combat is so much better than the Risen 2, combat was my only problem with Risen 2.

The problems I had with the risen games was the lack of quest waypoint/markers I felt too much time wasting trying to figure where you trying to get from A to B.

Nice review

3:20 Nope, it is not subjective.

Looks like an early version of greed fall with that spell slinging and those four legged creatures remind me so much of the first boss in greed fall.

The Risen 3 mainchar has a good Voiceactor in German

Hey, man, you still haven't dedicated a whole video to Risen 1. I know you like the game u said it yourself. The game has some good mods for hd textures and some nice enb presets. I'm currently enjoying the s*#$ out of it 😁

Its been 6 years oh man

Sounds like its set up like Gothic but the whole pirate theme just puts me off

im gettin drunk off mountain dew baby!

Not a particular RPG lover here. Previous week i finished my first Piranha Bytes game, Gothic 2. It was actually my first RPG that i played it through the end. And i tried many of them. Now i am deciding which will be my next. Heard some negatives for G3, so wanted to get R1. Now that i watched your vid, R3 also seems rather interesting. 😀

i drank even at singular "quest"

I can't believe they fcked it up in Elex after this.

Here cause it's 5$ on ps4, im intrested cause it looks like you'll really feel the power progression of your char, i think im getting it

I finished all risen games and elex. If you play risen 3 use Risen 3 Real Enhanced Edition for better graphics. Never played gothic series because of lack of controller support. (play on couch)

Risen 3 is still my fav after Gothic 3. Interestingly enough I didn't really like R2 that much, and really liked R1. Risen 3 holds up and is totally worth playing, not only for hardcore RPG fans.

The game looks so nice and colorful. Really love it. (The 2nd was ugly). I hope they will make Risen 4.

Risen 3 real enhanced edition mod is a must,changes combat,no more one mob at time waiting in a cue to fight you

for a price of 5 euros does it worth?
