I want to buy Risen 1, but i don't know if the game is the same in Steam and GOG

The Steam forums are full of people talking about bugs in the game, and beta versions, and updates that solved some bugs but created more bugs....

What the current state of Risen 1 here on GOG? Is the same version from Steam? Is it full of bugs? It has the option to use beta versions like Steam?

And what about the unofficial patches for the game? Will they work with any version of the game or not?

I'm so confused here. Please someone help me :(

Where do i buy? Steam or GOG? And which version is better, the "official" release or some other beta?

GOG does not have the beta versions currently. If you purchase here you can revert to the old version from galaxy. I recommend you play the old version...The new version even if it added controller support according to people it has some bugs.

If you have problems you can always send gog support a message or request a refund. If I remember correctly to revert to the old version you have to install the game and choose Manager Installation ---> Configure and select the old version (see attachment.)
