    Risen 3: Titan Lords - Enhanced Edition is a charming RPG full of things to do, showing up on the PlayStation 4 as the best console version. However the task of remastering is not optimal, the frame rate is fickle and graphical improvements can not hide the limits of a graphics engine overtaken by more recent productions. Combat system is still problematic, undermined by lag and questionable choices, and various bugs that affect the quality of gameplay. If you are willing to tolerate the limitations of lower production, and perhaps you have also appreciated Risen 2: Dark Waters, you may find satisfaction in this third installment.

    Risen 3: Titan Lords Enhanced Edition is fun, but that's about it. If you're still hooked on a game like The Witcher 3, leave this one alone. If you're looking for a new RPG experience however, give it a go.

    Risen 3 is a simple budget price port. The game is passable, but suffers a poor technical in an arena where the competition is fierce.

    There is fun to be had here, but honestly, you have to be willing to overlook some pretty major issues to get the best from this charming but undeniably mediocre RPG.

    As a game it simply works, but as an enhanced edition, it fails to fix many of the issues the original game had. There are better options on PS4, and Risen 3 has missed its opportunity to get closer to them.

    Risen 3: Titan Lords Enhanced Edition is a game that feels like a massive missed opportunity.

    Lovely visuals cannot save Risen 3 from falling way short in the overall quality stakes.

    Thanks to a story that gets a bit confusing, boring combat, and poor animations, Risen 3 is simply not a good game. The huge worlds, beautiful visuals, and large number of character skills do fight hard to make the RPG worth your money, but in the end, I think it’s a game that most likely should be avoided.

I may be biased because my favorite RPG of all time is Gothic 2 with its expansion. I cannot even say that what others write here about graphics, animation or technical problems would not be true.... but for some reason I still like this game with all of its issues. For comparison, I tried but could not finish Skyrim, neither Witcher 3. I consider them quality games, but I just got bored of them half way through... This game on the other hand still keeps me there, playing it, even when my hero is so strong in the end that no enemy is challenge to me any more.
    The only thing I can imagine is that its atmosphere and immersion turns the tide here.    … Full Review »

Risen 3 is a game that has a really interesting world with quite good funny characters but it all is destroyed by really REALLY crap combat. So annoying as it totally ruins the game and makes it unplayable. Honestly I really tried to keep going through it but because combat plays such a massive part of game I had to stop. Traded it in. Combat should have been fixed for this version as that was its biggest criticism when it first came out. Not fixing it shows a company who don't listen or care what the customer what's. For these reasons it deserves a big fat 0!!!! Sorry… Full Review »
