It can be a good game once you've put interest.
Risen is a game that gives you a great experience, only if you put your heart into it. Once you've taken interest, the game will be VERY addictive and fun. The best feature of this game is the combat. I've tried all t... Read Full Review

Succeeds brilliantly, where the Gothic 3 expansion failed miserably. Heir to the Gothic Throne.
I enjoyed the Mage class very much. Had a lot of depth to it. The english voice acting was very good in my opinion. Combat worked great for casting and staff fighting. I like how neutral it starts out and it takes awhile... Read Full Review

What Gothic3 should have been!

A hard, slow start with a surprisingly compelling finish. A must get if you have the patience.
When I started playing Risen, I despised it. The combat system was immensely frustrating, not to mention I had no orientation to it going in. The game throws you into the mix of things, into the wilderness, with naught b... Read Full Review

What Gothic 3 should have been...
Risen is a 2009 single-person RPG. In the beginning I would like to compare it to Gothic 3, as the game itself feels exactly like a mod of Gothic 3 - monsters have different textures but they move the same, attack in abo... Read Full Review

Risen takes the best elements of the Gothic trilogy and combines them in one harmonious whole.
After the shaky Gothic 3, developer Piranha Bytes (PB) were taken off the Gothic series. It seemed like dark times were coming for the german studio. But after partnering up with publisher Deep Silver they were ready to ... Read Full Review
