Games you can play this week (23-27 April 2012)

Hell no, I love Risen! One of my favorite RPGs. I find it even better than Gothic 2, and that's a hard one to top.

Gothic 2 or Gothic 2 NOTR? quite a difference between them.
I found Risen to be less buggy then G2 which would make Risen better. But when I first played Gothic 2 I loved it, number 1 no probs. Risen came out more then 5 years later which is a big difference between the potential of the developer.
Risen was awesome and is my top game (hoping till Risen 2 comes) but it is so difficult for me to really say which one is really better for when they came out for me.

Nah, I've only played the original Gothic 2 so far. Still need to get NOTR.

But the reason I say I like Risen more, is because if I had to choose to replay either that or Gothic 2, I'd end up choosing Risen. Was a surprisingly wonderful game.

You should definitely get NOTR then. It really is a very good expansion and adds probably an extra 20 plus hours onto it.
I see that IGN gave Risen 8.6 which to me was very accurate (actually I would give it 95 but anyways ). A few bugs but I found the game world so engrossing which really made the bugs a minor part of it.
Risen 2 6.5 doesn't really concern me as I trust PB, all I really need is story, game world, and good combat and I'm set with a PB game I recks

The only real issue I had with Risen was the way it locked you onto enemies in combat. It often led to many frustrations. Other than that, it was a nearly perfect game. It also had some of the most amazing scenic views I've ever seen in a game. Watching a sunset over the jungle was beautiful.

I never really had a problem with the combat in Risen 1 and actually found it to be really enjoyable. Well the sunsets in Risen 2 seem to be even better which is always welcome.

The combat was excellent, it was just the lock-on that got a bit annoying at times. It would often lock onto a specific enemy, and stick to him even if he moves behind another enemy.

Check out 1.3 patch for Risen, I think some of that was fixed. It was released about a month ago.
