Risen | 1440p60 | Longplay Full Game Main Quest Walkthrough No Commentary
29Full game longplay of Risen, a 2009 Action-RPG developed by Piranha Bytes, creators of Gothic series. This here is basically the sequel to Gothic 3, or perhaps the Gothic 3 that should-have-been. Game was released for PC and Xbox 360 at first, then was rereleased, ported straight from the PC to Xbox One and PS4, and updated on PC at the same time. Played at 1440p60, highest possible details options, recorded at 1440p60 H.265 NVENC codec via OBS.

This here is the Main Quest walkthrough, which I was barely able to finish under 12 hours (that's the hard youtube video length limit). Also about 3 hours off-recording, getting lost, getting killed etc. Which means, no side quests done if they are not directly connected to the main quest or semi-required. Like, I've literally avoided all the quests in the Monastery in the 3rd an 4th Chapters, completely. Apparently I didn't need to do anything there, completely optional.
So, anyway, yeah, there are some cheats used, because in fact, under 12 hours and no sidequests means I am very weak and low leveled, I would be getting one-shot by almost everything from like 2nd Chapter and beyond. And the combat system?? LET ME FREAKING TELL YOU ABOUT THE COMBAT SYSTEM IN THIS GAME, ITS ABSOLUTELY DOGSHIT. It's RNG, it's random, it's completely unpredictable, and for me, a fan of Gothic games, it was unlearnable for all those hours. So, yeah, no regrets about going the "easy" way, because my god, it's so baaaaaad (and I would have to cheat in a few places anyway so I dont get one-shot because of very low level :c). But, the game itself, story, map, quests, items, character progress, it's all good and fine. Which makes it... an Action-RPG game with a horrible combat system, and everything else good/great. Weird mix, for "ACTION" rpg. xD Kind of like Mistmare (2003), my earlier Action-RPG longplay. Pretty okay game world design/quest design wise, but combat is just straight atrocious. :D
