Fun to play, nice visuals, great sound - but broken controls!
I don't make it a habit to form an opinion of a game I haven't finished, or given up on. But there are issues I must write down asap. Firstly, the game is fun, even immersive, which is usually a very good sign for a ga... Read Full Review

Very disappointing
the fighting could of been so much better but its down to the programmers being lazy. 30 hours in to the game and you still have no leveled up that much at all, even on easy mode you get hit by a monster when you been pl... Read Full Review

The game was good worth the wait, however it was too short
the game was too short. 4 chapter isn't enough for Gothic 1 and 2 players. the game was a success for sure, especially after the failure in Gothic 3. only 2 places u can join. Bandit camp (for the Don). and become an inq... Read Full Review

Piranha Bytes makes a comeback with this great game, Risen is a smaller but more refined Gothic clone.
Shipwrecked, stranded, half alive, half dead, you wake up on an island in turmoil. A nobody in a cold war between the Inquisition and the bandits that used to rule this island. Little do you know that destiny has great p... Read Full Review

Risen is a small slice of the Gothic world, like a snack, Easy to chew and digest, yummy.
Risen is a condensed version of a Gothic game. While all Gothic titles (minus expansions) took forever to complete the main storyline quest due to intertwined quests that could last days to finish, Risen maintains a simp... Read Full Review

A surprisingly good game
Presentation - 9.0 Not as cinematic a presentation as some pop stuff and the game does not hold your hands and forces you to think and fend for yourself but who decided those are good things anyway and you are free to ... Read Full Review

Consider this Piranha Byte's gift to beleaguered Gothic fans. An Ardently old school Euro RPG that takes no prisoners.
Like most European RPG designers, Piranha Bytes is known for making the type of PC Role Playing Epic that has long since gone out of style. In an age where cross-platforming has killed the hardcore Computer Role Playing ... Read Full Review

A few more months in the shop and Risen would have been something truly special.
Not being a fan of the Gothic series, or developer Piranha Bytes in general I was hesitant to even look twice at Risen. The developer isn't exactly known for creating the most technically stable games on the market, you ... Read Full Review

A boring RPG with poor value.
To play Risen, you need a lot of patience. You need to ignore these facts: * Menus are cheap, user-notifications and control hints are completely absent making the game a "guess the button" adventure rather than a who... Read Full Review
