Nevertheless, you get a very nice and lovingly crafted world at hand where you can loose yourself to lose 40 hours.
Risen 3 is not a bad game. But not even the best thing that has ever delivered PB.
A BUY recommendation for RPG fans, but I would say without hesitation despite weaknesses. A "must-have", it is not.
About the contents of the Collector Edition:
In my opinion, the price is justified and what impressed me the many texts lovingly written (!). Many other CEs is only an artbook, whose pictures you have seen after a single scroll all. Here not so!
Even the manual is emphasized very positive!
I hope the review was helpful.
