Small, but very proud Piranha Studio for many years supplying the world market of great role-playing games. Curiously, however, that each of their work gets no warm welcome with flowers and applause, and the cart gamer displeasure. Under the "distribution of" already visited by an unusual management (Gothic), slow and outdated engine (Gothic 2), and then zabagovanost (Gothic 3). That's a new game of piranhas called the Risen, we will meet reproach. Yes, yes, in obedience to tradition, we will continue to shamelessly blame.

Why shamelessly? Because, in the case of the Risen most gotomanov bumped into something for which struggled. A fight for the fans of Gothic traditions of the series, with the compact world and a clear storyline. Who appreciate the magnitude of the third Gothic, beautiful scenery, challenging assignments, freedom of passage? I inform: you yelled quietly and you have not heard. A Piranha Bytes submit to the will of the majority and released a remake of Gothic 1-2.

Here we must say that Gothic 2 is already decently repeated plot of the first Gothic, and in addition, "Night of the Raven" game designers did not hesitate to use the same techniques. An indispensable necessity to earn someone's trust to get to vip-quarter fee of five (magic number) artifacts, mandatory dungeon with traps at the end of the game were really a series of cards. And after four years they are not claimed by any more, revealed in the Risen.

The hero, a victim of a shipwreck, the game starts again penniless and with no name and no past. Alien Island Farang hardly more affable than Khorinis: awakening volcano threatens everyone earthquakes from beneath the earth grow ancient temples full of gold and monsters. Residents do not dare venture his nose outside the city walls, and arrived to the rescue of the inquisitors were not able to cooperate with local authorities in the person of Don Esteban. As a result, Esteban, and the best fighters of the island zvereyut from lack of depth in the bogs, and the Inquisition for the lack of training recruits in their ranks thieves and peasants. It is clear that both things can not long to go, and nameless hero will get as a catalyst for future events.

Weep from nostalgia: Esteban - the spitting image of Gomez, only wrapped in gold, rather than ore. He lives in a swamp, and his supporters called bandits. Why? It is not clear: Gang people do not do. Probably to the similarity of the camp was full of crow. High Inquisitor Mendoza - it's more colorful version of the fanatical Lord Hagen. He settled in the monastery of magicians who worship fire and do not let strangers on your doorstep. Only one major city and port - its main attraction. Want another analogy? A lot of them will meet on the story: five artifacts opens a portal to the source of all evil, and sealed the gates now ghostly ancient warrior. Next will be asked to brick his mummified minions and have to clean up the temples of ancient civilization. For dessert - arcade fight with the final boss, the original only by the standards of the series.
