No idea why people rate it this low - they probably didn't even try to finish it. I pre-ordered it and it was totally worth it. It basically combines everything that was great about Risen, Risen 2 (not much was great about risen 2 admittedly but still they managed to make the most of it) as well as the original Gothic trilogy. The new hero is awesome, combat varied, the exploration worthwhile (you never know when you will find a new great weapon or a legendary item), piracy is still there, as in Risen 2, but it's not a main theme anymore - merely a storytelling tool - and works great. The framerate is much more stable than in previous games and the graphics is, I'd say, on par with Skyrim or Witcher 2.
   
   To be honest I didn't expect this game to be SO GOOD - after a rather boring introduction the game picks up the pace and I just couldn't stop playing at times. Quests number in HUNDREDS and the freedom of choice is great.
   
   To sum up: I recommend this sweet game to everyone who played any Risen or original Gothic game and enjoyed it, as well as people who generally love fantasy rpgs such as aforementioned Skyrim or Witcher.
   
   PS: to malcontents who only play AAA games - don't believe the metascore - in reality the average of reviews worldwide for Risen 3 is about 8/10. But in fact it deserves much more.… Expand

Totalmente incomprendido por crítica y público. Con una ambientación, un mundo vivo, un sistema de combate extraño al principio pero con cierta profundidad y cuando lo dominas es muy satisfactorio. Lo único criticable es q tecnicamente va justo, pero el apartado artistico y la ambientación logran su objetivo. Es profundo y divertido, a diferencia de Skyrim, siempre tienes ganas de seguir jugando, como los clásicos del RPG.… Expand

   Questo è a mio avviso il più bel gioco della serie e anche il degno successore spirituale della serie Gothic, tanto apprezzata e mai dimenticata.
   La conversione su xbox è la migliore dei tre capitoli, si forse alcune texture non fanno gridare al miracolo e anzi, sono molto sgranate, ma il colpo d'occhio generale non è affatto male e la fluidità per quanto da mia prova risulta essere sempre stabile (apro e chiudo una parentesi, ma anche il famosissimo Skyrim non faceva certo gridare al miracolo per definizione delle textures :-). Ottima l'acqua e apprezzatissima la possibilità di immergersi e scoprire a nuoto altre aree di gioco segrete.
   Migliorato molto inoltre il sistema di combattimento, ora più vario fin dall'inizio e meglio calibrato.
   Amo questo gioco e mi sento di consigliarlo a tutti gli appassionati del genere.

The story is good so far and I love the faction bonuses/abilities you get by joining them. (Actually only played the Demon Hunters so far so I can't comment on the other factions).
   I particularly don't like RPGs that allow you to "reset" your character i.e. K of Amalur and Dark Souls II. I haven't gotten very far in the game so I might be wrong, but having limited glory/experience and gold forces you to make some tough choices so you can't max out every ability.
   The fighting system is fun, I think people get frustrated because the controls are almost the exact opposite to Skyrim and Dark Souls. i.e. RT is block, X is dodge and A is attack.....it took me probably 7 hours before I got used to the controls.
   Because of the limited glory/experience/gold there is an added element of satisfaction after you complete each quest. You may not need all the loot you received but you definitely need the glory/gold.
   I love how you start out really weak and then gradually get stronger. There is a sense of character progression similar to Dark Souls where starting out, simple enemies will swarm and kill you. But after building up skills and armor, each battle is no longer a fight to the death and it feels like your character is getting stronger. As well, I have gone through RPGs without ever using healing potions or magical buffs, this game forces you to use all your resources.
   Like I said I just started, about 15 hours in, but I have died many times, so far it is challenging and fun.
   
   The bad.....
   The graphics are horrible.
   Cut scenes are horrible.
   Load times are horrible.
   
   I am an old gamer and grew up in the 80s so bad graphics and load times don't bother me....so overall this game is fun and challenging.… Expand

   Hmmmm, where to start? From the outset and RISEN 3's earliest frames, blocky textures, screen-tearing and framerate issues abound.Hmmmm, where to start? From the outset and RISEN 3's earliest frames, blocky textures, screen-tearing and framerate issues abound. Technically, at least on 360, RISEN 3 is a functional mess; it hardlocked my console 5 times while questing or opening my inventory during the first island's initial journeys.
   
   Almost shovelware, certainly broken and unfinished, RISEN 3 at full retail price IS, imo, a moneygrab, brazen and egregious. Will Pirahna Bytes fix their "hot mess?" Not likely, as the first and second RISEN games still have most, if not all, of THEIR broken issues still present at this writing.
   
   Many other reviewers, professional and consumer, have also noted RISEN 3's poor FPS, microstuttering, unbalanced gameplay, and uneven presentation combined with poor texturing, bad lighting, and general lack of polish.
   
   Moreover, many gamers have noted the "simple" dodge and roll combat mechanics while yet another word may describe the combat in a more terse way: "stunlock." Your player-character will become stunlocked and killed repeatedly on various difficulty settings; mobs will attack and attack and attack while your character will recycle animations as hitpoints dwindle to a visit to the reload screen.
   
   Additionally, the game purports to have an autosave function that marks your place at random intervals in the gameworld; although, commonplace and effective elsewhere, in most games, in RISEN 3 during combat, while securing a potion or two, the autosave will cause the fps to plummet to slideshow effect, often locking up my XBOX 360.
   
   CAN these seemingly random issues be fixed? Imo, hardware issues, gameplay design and poor coding will forestall RISEN 3's rise above the rim of the porcelain bowl. :(… Expand
