I've not played Risen 2 or 3. I've explored most of the world now and the one thing I'm missing most is caves. All gothic games were full with them. If there was a cliff you could be sure that there will be a cave or 2. ELEX is full of cliffs but not one cave in there. For that you have building complexes now which is fine too. The game is missing a lot of the charm and some other minor elements from Gothic. It's a bit too dumbed down for my taste and feels generic at times. From a gameplay and adventure aspect I'd say it's definitely a step back from Gothic 3. It's as good as Gothic 2 I'd say, but not as good as Gothic 1 or 3. But it's not like we can be picky here. It still has the bonus of being completely new with lots of stuff to discover. I'm hopeful that patches and mods will make it a lot better. |
Damn...I mean about the caves - I really love that aspect in Gothics, it annoyed me to no end that in Witcher 3 they were few and (often) poorly designed.
