We seem to have been overcome by 3D action 'RPG's', many of which large portions of the Codex seem to love. I think it time that people here write about their favourite 'popamole' games, educate others on why they believe such games are worthy of a purchase (or even a non purchase, so to speak) and playthrough.
The only one, lately, that I have played of these new games is Risen. I found it a refreshing return to the Gothic 1 and 2 system that, while not quite living up to the same standards, is a welcoming restart from Gothic 3. The difficulty of the game, the way the world works, and the various ways to make your way through problems kept me quite happy throughout the game...even the ending could not spoil the experience.
Unfortunately, I cannot comment on other new entries into this genre, as that last game I played before Risen was Gothic 3 or The Witcher, whichever came last.
From looking at quick writeups, I would imagine other new games would include, but not be limited to: Fallout New Vegas, Venetica, Divinity 2, and so on.
I now hand over the mic...
