My review to Risen 3

[Googolplex]

I just knew you were going to enjoy every single bit of it and talk about it lol.

Yes, that's what I expected. But the problem is that most developers today wants to make their games easier and more accessible for newcomers to get a greater audience even in the international market. This is not only a problem of Risen 3 and the predecessor, it's a general problem of almost every modern game series.

Instead to stay true to the fans and create a game what they want, they always try to make it more suitable for the mass. And this is what NOBODY want.

This doesn't mean Risen 3 is a simplified game, but it has a lot of simplified elements in the beginning. The tutorial is extremely dull. Absolutely not immersive!

I'm so much angry about that, because I'm a big fan of this great RPG series. And I always praised Piranha Bytes, because normally they always were the masters of excellent design.

I'm talking mainly about the beginning of Risen 3. The whole game becomes better.

Piranha Bytes growed up to 25 people before they started to work on Risen 3.
There are a lot of fresh young people in the team which replaced some of the good old Gothic and Risen 1 workers.
