amazing game with a bad second half

the game starts gothic like with a deep atmosphere and character progression. there are quests everywhere, sometimes even without qlog entry if you listen to dialouges carefully. at some point the devs stopped to work on the quest design i believe. the second half of the game is just hack n slay like killing of everything non human in the world of barely an explanation or dialouge

Nice game

I found the game to be pretty good overall. The biggest issue was getting started, but it doesn't take long to get used to it. The controls seemed a bit difficult at the start, but does become easier as you level up. The worst part is, at the beginning, not knowing if you are going into an area that has creatures that are too strong. I always loved to explore and get as much of the map as possible, but you have to be careful at the start or you could end up dead. Once I got past the initial issues and difficulties, it was rather smooth and fun. I gave it 4 stars only because of issuse at the start.

Boring Gothic 2 with more polish

Risen follows the same pattern of Gothic 2 where you start as a bum who has to work their way up in favor so you can join one of three factions to get you toward your goal. It has some extra polish and features that make it less janky than G2, but overall it is subpar compared to it. The people of the world are more stiff and boring, and the definition of bland voice direction. The main character rather than being a simple rogue character with some personality like in G2 lacks personality and could have been replaced with a silent protagonist for equal or better effect. Like previous PB games, the main quest and writing isn't good, but has a certain level of charm to it. The combat had a little more put into it this time, but it lacks the polish. Since the difficulty is still hard, what matters most is if you hit things and cause them to stagger and are able to not get hit. This means finding the right distance and animations to use. The problem is adding to your fighting skill increases your combo, but combos don't add anything more to this simple equation and mesh with the overall combat, so you might as well barely add to weapon skill. The system lacks polish and ends up being less than the first two Gothic games which while more simple on the surface, still used most their parts competently. While combat and storytelling are lacking, all of the small quality of life things have improved since Gothic series. It's not easy now to get super rich, the inventory system is better, and UI have improved. The game just lacks a lot of the qualities that made PB's first two games work, and the personality. It makes the game easy to put down half way through, as I have tried beating 3 times but never get past chapter 3 or 4. The magic system seemed like it could have been better than previous installments but I never got far enough to check.

Technical problems

Good game, but I´ve installed the latest fanpatch after downloading and the game crashes very often :( I am using Win 7 x64, 4Gb Ram and a GTX 660 Ti....the first time it crashed, a window told me something like "Nvidia-driver 353.82 crashed" - I did not recognized the message much as I thought it was only a coincidental problem - a mistake, as it happens very often! The problem is that it most times crashes the complete pc - if it happens (usually with a white, blue or green screen + stuttering music) the pc do not react anymore, not possible to open the taskmanager or a reboot - I need to shutdown it completely every time! AN ABSOLUTELY NO-GO.

An RPG well worth your time

Risen is a successor to the Gothic games, and is an RPG well worth your time. However, it doesn't hold your hand and there is a lot of exploration and talking to NPCs to fill out your quest log. The combat system takes a bit of getting used to, but the environments are huge, expansive and beautiful. The story is good, but you can venture of the main quest line for hours doing other things, which I personally think is the sign of an excellent RPG!
