Risen 3 - Titan Lords

Not much different than the other two Risen games. Recommended if you want some eurojank RPG. Writing is trash, characters are trash, plot is trash. Combat is also trash. You're here to have a hard experience at the start, scrap up as much XP and loot you can, and become a god by the end of the game. Not outstanding, but if you liked the other Risen games, this is more of that.

Much better than people give it credit for, it is even quite pretty ... occasionally. Best part is easily the dialog, even though you can tell its been translated, because several times i was like "what the hell these people talkin about" Worst part is the combat, although on balanced its bearable. I did play it through on hard, but wouldn't do that ever again. That the game becomes almost too easy isn't really a problem, unless you want to spend 20 hours whittling health bars per playthrough. Exploration is fun and varied and the game is exactly the right length. I was rushing towards the end. Overall i played through twice. Playing through normally you would spend about 40 hours. One piece of advise: i had all skills at 100 and over 200k glory over at the end. So feel free to spend it as you see fit, even on your first playthrough going for 100%.

Eurojank at it's finest. If you enjoy other Piranha games, you'd probably enjoy this as well. Decent enough world but combat becomes repetivive after a while because you will find yourself fighting the same enemy types over and over again.

For me, this is the weakest of them all and it just made me angry at the end. The graphics improved, but the whole island exploration went from interesting to a chore. The mage hand system was just super underwhelming and absolutely not for me. Worst of all for me is the following point about the end—I will keep spoilers to a minimum, but I will flag it as one: [spoiler] The whole game you are focused on the one bad dude that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up the whole sea, just to confront him and have him be replaced by the real evil person who then proceeds to piss off to some island you now need to clear, just like the last five times. You have to clear nearly the whole island and that just broke something in me. [/spoiler] I really couldn't care for the story at all, which was never the strong suite of Piranha Bytes, but this was on par with Elex 2.
