Risen is a great Role Playing Game.

If you love exploring and can handle a challenge - Get this. Now.
I purchased this from Steam after trying the demo. It was during a dry spell of game launches. I never expected to be so fully pulled into the world of Risen. At first the combat seems sloppy and overly difficult but aft... Read Full Review

RISEN UNPLAYABLE OUT OF BOX FOR VISTA AND WIN7 USERS. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME UNLESS YOU USE XP!!!
I wish all the gushing reviews of RISEN had informed me that the game is broken out of the box. While it will install on VISTA and WIN7 equipped machines, it will not play. Apparently there is some problem with the cop... Read Full Review

Highly immersive and masterfully designed, Risen is Piranha Bytes's best game, and that is high praise.
At first glance, Risen doesn't appear very impressive. In the first five minutes, you might get the impression that it is just another typical 3rd person action/RPG that starts you off with just a few gold coins and a r... Read Full Review

A refreshing, addictive game
I must say that, since the Gothic games, I've always been interested in new games coming from Piranha Bytes. And this time, despite being put off a bit initially by the Gamespot score, I'm glad it didn't turn out otherwi... Read Full Review

What Gothic 3 'should have been'... almost.
At first, I was a little leery about Risen. As an avid Gothic fan, it was obvious that the series was stuck in a rut after the 3rd installment plus some hideous add-on content, and I was unsure of whether another attemp... Read Full Review

I thought I'd start this game just because Dragon Age was not out yet... Now I congratulate myself for starting it
Its a really fun game to play - and addictive, as any good RPG should be. I did not play any game in the Gothic series before, therefore I find this to be very original. I just love the freedom it offers you - to be ho... Read Full Review

I can't understand why most of the people don't like the Combat System.....
I can't understand why most of the people don't like the Combat System. The Fighting system is one of the best among the RPGs. It's more about your skills other than character's skills. When you learn and become good at ... Read Full Review

Pirates,monsters and dark ruins....what more do you want?OH!You want drugs sex and violence?It does have d,s&v!
We all know Risen is the real Gothic4! The gameplay, the island and the feeling reminds us of gothic NOTR! We all tasted NOTR and we liked it,Risen is slightly different but all in all the same game at another level. Y... Read Full Review
