I'm 25 hours into Risen 3 and I have to say I'm finding it not much janky at all. Maybe I'm just used to the Piranha Bytes formula so much that I just gloss over it all. It is very much a PB game through and through though - the gruff lead, the almost complete lack of female characters, getting endlessly stunned/knocked down for the first ten hours, the relative paucity of gear/loot, and of course, the gorgeous and superb world design. It's just such a treat to wander around these islands. I pick up every drat clam I come across.

Having a lot of fun with it. It seems bigger than the first two as well as I haven't even started chapter 2 yet. I'm deliberately postponing my decision on which faction to join although it'll probably end up being the Mages else I've been hoarding all these crystals for nothing.
