Piranha Bytes' Risen 3: Titan Lords is once again the subject of a preview, and this time it's One Angry Gamer that's sharing words on the next installment to the series that began as a spiritual successor to Gothic. A few paragraphs to send you on your way:
One thing worth noting about the combat, though, is that it's possible for enemies to do a lot of what the player is capable of doing. So you'll see enemies roll, block and dodge attacks just like the player-character, creating a dynamic battlefield at times. The re-introduction of magic into the fold also adds an extra layer of strategy during the fights, as magic attacks had been removed from Risen 2 in place of more firearm-oriented combat antics.
To keep some of the game's appeal mixed up and diverse, Piranha Bytes has various mini-games and treasures sprinkled throughout the game. So exploration is most definitely encouraged, even though the game mechanics are somewhat limited in how the exploration takes place (there is no parkour like in Assassin's Creed, so it sometimes requires a bit of creativity to get around).
As for the mini-games, players will be to partake in various activities outside of the standard main and side-quests. For instance, there is an archery mini-game available where players attempt to get their arrow as close to the bulls-eye as possible. Also, there are other interactive-world activities such as being able to lock-pick doors and treasure chests in order to access areas that aren't easily reachable.
