Risen it is in fact gothic 4, the main quest starts from where the last gothic ends... to be brief lets nail it down the pros n cons about the game.

Pros...
1. Best graphics in all gothic series and the most light as well, believe it or not but risen it is not bugged n heavy like all other gothic titles.
2. 100% replayable, from the start you will have to choose to be a thief or a fanatic that will pretty much make your game 75% different from the other choice.
3. Exploring the world worth it a lot, there is no big, repetitive and dull scenarios.
4. Combat is really great once you got the hang of it, you can hit, super hit, combo, dodge, parry n counter as you like...
5. Immersive quests.
6. Trainers are way more easygoing than the other gothics, no unnecessary quests needed.
7. Magic vs archery is very balanced, you pretty much can choose one without regrets.
8. World offers more than enough items to increase your status without having to use AP... so you can spend ur AP only on skills.

Cons...
1. Jump action could use more work, it fells like a noclip mode...
2. Music is good but not as good as a gothic title...
3. The only weapons that you can craft are swords, there is no mace / staff / axe / bows n crossbows crafiting... P.S. the sword crafting is awesome!!!
