Over the past twenty years, developer Piranha Bytes has been responsible for three major IPs: Gothic, Risen, and Elex. Gothic went on to develop a cult following, while Risen and Elex have maintained their own fandoms. Piranha Bytes’ games are arguably an acquired taste, as they embrace and truly define the “Eurojank” subgenre. While many give Eurojank negative connotations, it’s simply not true—these games are often described as super ambitious and only lack the extra polish and budget of big AAA titles.
