Risen

Open world

A classic Piranha Bytes RPG in the spirit of Gothic: as a nameless castaway you explore a dense, handcrafted volcanic island, join a faction and claw your way from weakling to hero. Tough combat and a believable, lived-in world are its core strengths.

Of Ash and Steel

Gothic 3

Open world

A vast, freely explorable Myrtana under orc rule where you side with orcs, rebels, assassins or nomads and carve your own path through the world. The game is notoriously buggy but beloved for its atmosphere and Kai Rosenkranz's sweeping score.
