Are the Risen games any good? I started playing the Gothic games for the first time recently-ish, and I quite enjoyed Gothic 1 and what I've played of 2 so far (haven't played 3 yet), and was wondering how well the Risen games stacked up to them.

Nope
First Risen is good replacement for Gothic 1pretty much copypasted but in jungle and with better controls and larger worldbut doesn't come anywhere close to 2. Risen 2 has it's charm but in the end is a disappointment Risen 3 is victim of abortion and should be given headpats and pitying stares as retard of a game it is.they are still good games just nowhere near as good as 2 or charming as 1

Alright, I think I'll just get the first Risen and see how that goes for now.

please explain your rational for the spoiler use in your post

risen 1 is alright but still not quite gothic
2 nah
3 not unless you really need another pirahnabytes game

Risen 1 is good, the other two are mediocre at best

The first one wasn't bad, stay mad.

I'd say Risen 1 is more similar to Gothic 2, just in a jungle setting.
It would be one of the contenders for best RPGs of all time, if it not had been for some massively broken quests, and wonky combat system and a story that seriously just craps the bed 3/4 of the way in. It has a warm place in my library but I don't think I could go through playing it ever again.
Risen 1 is good, it's basically what would've been Gothic 4 or maybe a Gothic 1 reboot. Risen 2 is garbage. Risen 3 is pretty middle-of-the road, but has it's moments.
They are all pretty terrible.

I found Risen 3 better than 2.
1 is still my favorite though.
But why did they ditch the hero for some literally who son of Steelbeard.

Skyrim is also shit. That Doesn't make risen is good. It gets worse with every entry.

First game is alright, second game is terrible, didn't even try the third game because it looked just as bad.
Try the 1st game and then if you want you can try 2 & 3 at your own risk.
