Piranha Bytes Games Ranked: Gothic, Risen, & Elex Series

Ranking and reviewing all Piranha Bytes games: Gothic 1, Gothic 2: Night of the Raven, Gothic 3, Risen 1, Risen 2: Dark Waters, Risen 3: Titan Lords, Elex, and Elex 2 with mini-reviews and comparisons for every game. This video is a retrospective review/critique/analysis of all PB games that puts them into ranked order based on their relative pro's and con's, as well as other thoughts like how much did I enjoy each game in its original context when it was brand new; how much did I enjoy replaying it years later; how much does it capture the original magic of those early Piranha Bytes games; how good is it individually just on its own merits alone (not necessarily as a Piranha Bytes game); plus other considerations like "where does it fit in the legacy of Piranha Bytes' trajectory" or the overall impact I feel it's had on the community since its release. I'm going to try to be objective with these rankings but ultimately my own subjective experience will weigh heavily into my decisions. 0:00:00 - Intro 0:06:16 - Number 9 0:17:22 - Number 8 0:25:06 - Number 7 0:32:02 - Number 6 0:37:07 - Number 5 0:42:35 - Number 4 0:50:17 - Gothic 1 vs Gothic 2 0:59:11 - Number 3 1:04:02 - Number 2 1:08:43 - Number 1 1:15:24 - Outro Below are relevant videos and articles on all games covered in these rankings: Gothic 1 & 2:    • Gothic 1+2: Masterpieces of Immersive Design      • Gothic 1 vs Gothic 2 - Which is Better?      • Everything Wrong With Gothic 1's Back Cover      • The Importance of Gothic 1+2's Music - Sou...      • Things Gothic 1+2 (Still) Do Better Than Elex   Gothic 3:    • Gothic 3 Sucks -- A Critique From a Longti...   Risen:    • Risen - Review | A 10-Year Retrospective   Risen 2:    • Risen 2 - Review | One Step Forward, Two S...   https://thenocturnalrambler.blogspot....
