5.0 out of 5 starsDon't believe everything you read...
By M. B. Nassenstein on 2 Nov. 2009
Platform for Display: PC
I had a look at the reviews as well. They did little to persuade me to purchase this game, since, while positive overall, they did mention a lot of negatives. Howerver, since I enjoyed some of the previous games by these developers, and as I did feel like playing a good old fashioned RPG again, I decided to give this game a go, after all. And I must say... it is simply lovely.

This is a real RPG. One that gives you plenty of freedom, has depth, has character development that makes a big difference, and that will involve you for a long time. It is, of course, quite combat-focussed, but the combat is not frantic. In a game like this, you can rush into things, but really, it is ideal for those who like to take things carefully and go about their gaming with a degree of deliberation.

Sure, the main character is fixed, there is a lot of gritty combat, and delving into swamps, running through bushes and delving into caves. And it is all quote 'manly' (like the Gothic series, of which the first managed to have a large cast without a single female character). Yet, at the same time, it is quite enchanting and athmospheric. The story makes sense (within the genre, at least), the many gruf characters are decently voice-acted and likable enough. Sure, the story and quests are a bit less complex than, say, the Witcher, Kotor or Oblivion, but it makes sense, most of the time. The world feels quite alive. Reviewers complained about dated graphics, though they did admit it did not look bad. But who cares if it is 'dated' somehow? It looks really good, often breath-taking. The landscape looks quite natural, the weather is really well done and brings a lot of athmosphere. In short... it is a very immersive game.

Reviewers also complained about quirky combat. I disagree.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsSome good ideas spoiled by graphical problems and inconsistent story
By Christopher R. on 8 Nov. 2010
Platform for Display: PC
Risen is a third person fantasy role playing game from the team that developed the Gothic series. I've never played that series so cannot comment on the similarities. It is very open world in the style of Oblivion although the island on which it is set does not have the same sense of scale. The skill tree is nice and clear and simple, experience points determine when the character levels and monsters do not level up with the character (as happened in the vanilla Oblivion). In this respect, and it the look of many of the environments it is similar to The Witcher. The game is very difficult in the early stages which I notice has drawn some criticism from commentators who also stated that combat was unsatisfactory. I found these aspects consistent with the RPG style - in the beginning you are a weak character and are not very good at fighting so it feels awkward. As you progress you unlock additional combat moves and combat becomes pretty fluid and varied. You cannot button mash - you must time your attacks to suit the tactics of your adversaries. The good news is that unlike many recent games there is a conventional quicksave function which I used often. If this game used the checkpoint system it could have been unplayable in the early stages. I disabled the autosave in the config file as I felt it was unnecessary and kept breaking immersion. The game is fairly short for an RPG - I completed it in fifty hours which is way shorter than many. The character of the protagonist is not developed (we do not even know his name). By contrast in The Witcher I got to like Geralt, the eponymous hero, which added to the feel of the game.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsRisen
By Aristotle on 27 Oct. 2009

For anyone who liked the Gothic series, you can't go wrong. The similarities are in every aspect of the game and has proved to be very stable, unlike Gothic 3 and the abysmal Forsaken Gods.

This is a nicely polished game with plenty of quests and plenty of action if you want it, or run if not. Combat is hard at the beginning though, but well worth persevering, especially with the great storyline and the quality of graphics. If you are not strong enough to take on a boar, take it on later when you are. This is my one gripe with Oblivion, everything levels up with you, for example - you can still be killed by a mud crab whatever the level you are.

Great ending to the game and lots of hidden caves and areas around the island. The times I explored an area and jumped out of my skin when one of those dark Ghouls attacked me, they are tough, let alone the Ashbeasts and Ogres.

There are cheats for this game for those that find the game too difficult, just like all the Gothic series, but personally, there is a lot more fun to overcoming the game without. So saying I found several small bugs whereby enemies got stuck in the scenery allowing me to take them out with ranged attacks whereas I would have been too weak otherwise early on in the game. Another bug which allows you to accumulate gold and experience is a quest in the bandit camp whereby you collect weeds for the farmer, at the top of the camp where there is a damn and lake. You get 70 gold and experience for supplying 10 weed. If you belt the farmer a few times, he goes down and gets up a few moments later. If you stole his weeds from him while he was down you can now sell them back to him with no repercussions.

Overall I loved the game and spent too much time in completing it when I should have spent more time with my family. Replayable too, because you can choose between factions to become a mage or fighter or combination choosing the mage path.

4.0 out of 5 starsSurprisingly good balance, glitchless single player romp

Risen is very noteceably true to its Gothic origins, with moody, singular free roaming universe that a nameless, preset hero takes on. Read more

5.0 out of 5 starsA great successor for Gothic - Can't wait for Dark Waters

In summary: One of the best RPG games of recent times. Gothic fans will probably love it, Elder Scrolls fans will probably find it small and frustrating. Read more

Gothic III gets a fair bit of flak for unstability but if you patch it (including the community patch) it runs just fine. Read more

2.0 out of 5 starsSmall, boring, really rather poor.

Like a lot of RPGs this game seems rather limited. All you do, basically, is follow the plot. There are a few alternatives, which faction to support etc. Read more
