An absolute classic that helped redefined the genre, mainly in the openess and freedom of things, from the world to quests and story. I've been trying to set it up on Linux. Its a bit of a pain, doesnt work straight out of the box, you'll need to subscribe to the beta and choose the workshop version. Then go to the workshop and install the d3d mod and you're good to go.

One of the best open world cRPGs ever made. Still hard to find games with such great world reactivity and immersion: - day and night cycle - weather - NPCs go under a roof when it's raining, go to sleep at night and go to work at day - NPCs talk with each other - NPCs react when you draw a weapon, steal, enter their homes - NPCs react to your faction - Instead of a magic wall there is Magic Barrier that the whole plot revolves around Combat is simple and easy to learn, but you can defeat almost any opponent level 1 with a club if you're skilled as a player; but good luck with that. And it didn't age a bit! - Graphics was already outdated on release (it has a lot of charm, though) - Controls were plain awful even back then Works great on Steam Deck

I forgot I bought this trashcan of a game.

Хорошо, что к Risen 1 (с оговорками в виде такого же гумозного последнего этапа с лабиринтами-храмами с ящерицами) пираньи научились делать игры. В оригинал играть в 2026 невозможно, фанатский ремастер на анриале - топ, но не спасает безумной кривости самой игры (и да, она лёгкая, потому что скелетный лук находится чуть ли не в начале сюжетки) Прошёл и забыл как страшный сон. Сайды незапоминающиеся и частично не работающие бтв

I played this first when it released in 2001 and was purely wow-ed by it. The world felt mysterious and (almost) endless. Replayed it in 2025 with Community Mods for a bit of QOL and a fresh paint and besides the nostalgia, I completely sunk into the world of Gothic again. This holds up so well as it is just a bit of its own thing. I like its jankiness for what it is, I rather see it as eccentricity. This is, what makes it so timeless for me - the controls, the feeling of progression, the rich world and the characters. Works great on Steam Deck with mods.
