What Gamespot Users have to say about Risen
- Rating:9
Those who get past the high difficulty and dont mess up their build, will be rewarded with a wonderful game experience.
This game is not easy to get into, not because its a difficult game, but because of the total freedom it offers. This freedom of choice can be a blessing for some, a curse for others, depending on their choices. One ... Read Full Review

Risen has some issues, but no way in hell is this an average "7/10" game this site will have you believe.
Risen has so many great features. Trainers, factions, interesting characters, spells, freedom of choice, and a challenging combat system are just some of the things this game offers. The issues are mostly superfic... Read Full Review

One of the hardest RPGs next to Demons Souls for PS3. Hardcore RPG fans only. Very frustrating gameplay, poor combat.
Risen looks great, unfortunately Deep Silver spent so much time on the graphics and immersion they totally forgot about the gameplay, more importantly the combat which is the bread and butter of RPGs, and the combat in R... Read Full Review

This is the best RPG I've ever played.
I loved the fighting - hard, especially at first, but very satisfying. The interface with NPC's is sophisticated and realistic. You have several career path choices - something to suit all temperaments. I know - all t... Read Full Review

I, for myself, i am tired to see low scores on masterpiece games.
Ok....so, Dragon Age or Fable 3 (which not even had Fable 2 on PC) or other over promoted game to receive such high scores. Games like Risen or Divinity Ego Draconis were too easy passed by critics or reviewers. Risen ... Read Full Review

Risen won't hold your hand, no doubts. Despite that it's an engrossing game that never feels cheap or unsatisfying.
For starters, Risen may not be for everybody. Especially if you are unfamiliar with such an rpg experience or haven't played any of the previous PB titles beforehand. You start as nobody, washed ashore. Throughout the... Read Full Review

Worth it for those who love to get immersed into an RPG world.
I am playing on the 1.10 patch. I have not seen a bug at all. I Love games like the Elderscrolls that really pull me into their world. This game does that for me, so to me it is a success. Combat is challenging. ... Read Full Review

Why does such a marvel of a game get this score?
Risen is the ideal game of its genre - role playing, it's a legacy of some sort of the true gothic series - 1 and 2, but with serious improvements. The combat system is very nice, the story is amazing, the voce acting i... Read Full Review

Risen is a good RPG, but certain gameplay imbalances prevent it from achieving its full potential.
Pros: 1. Good story 2. Good voice acting 3. No level scaling Cons: 1. Poor ending 2. Second half feels like a different game 3. Poor boss fight, lame ending Risen started off as an interesting, slow-paced, s... Read Full Review
