Perfectionist's heaven

There are many things about this game that deserve praise. I love the combat system, I enjoy the landscapes, I like the quests. But what matters for me is that this game, like literally every other Piranha Bytes' game, is a heaven for my inner perfectionist. The game rewards you for being a perfectionist, for picking up every single herb in a location, for doing every single quest, for killing every single monster. How so? Because your resourses in this game, unlike in many others, are limited. You can't keep walking around and farm until your character is strong enough to progress - you have limited opportunities and you are encouraged to use them, as the game is also quite demanding. Every coin counts, every treasure chest that you found matters, and what's important is that you can, if you wish so, actually pick up every single coin. And you can be sure, those coins won't remain unused in your pocket.

OK RPG, not bad not great

Risen is a pretty fun RPG, it has some good with some bad a bit of ugly: The good: Open world action, some interesting characters, all fully voice acted. The graphics are decent enough , nothing super great but they aren't distracting . most of the writing is pretty good and it's nice that all the "supposed" antagonists aren't one dimensionally evil The Bad: The game can start a bit slow then very rapidly your power will plateau. Most of my time int he game was spent in chapter 1 and 2. Combat is pretty meh. It seems like it should be nice, you have parrying and side steps and lateral blows. In the end none of the melee really works out that well and while magic is much better it's pretty lack luster. 3 different projectiles. you will beat the game probably < level 30 so you can really only max one or 2 skills. The ugly: Interaction with the landscape is laughably bad. There are tons of places you will get stuck in walls or on rocks in trees or bushes. If you run off a cliff you will "jump" down invisible stairs until you land, taking no damage. if you need to jump up a ledge in a cave *SAVE* sometimes it would take 5-10 restarts before i could get lucky and not literally jump through the ceiling and get stuck. Overall: not a bad RPG, i'd give it a solid "C" nothing too notable but nothing too terrible (other than getting stuck in walls)

Pleased.

Beautiful visuals with a low demand on my system, and a satisfying challenge in a day when many games are not satisfying nor challenging. I am very pleased with my purchase and strongly recommend this one. :)

illegal in Australia

I got this game only because it was illegal in Australia for some odd reason.....I played through twice and have not seen any offending materiallet alone turned into a criminal. The game itsself is quite enjoyable, you start off as a guy on a beach with nothing and work your way up to badarse........and trust me when your leveling up you feel like your actualy acheving something. The story is a little genaric but good and the seanery was rather pretty to look at. all in all I would say to buy it...especially if your an Australian.

Unplayable Garbage

My entire review solely discusses why you should not buy the game in its current form. This is a "new" and "improved" version, PBs new overlords forced upon us which some outsourced company made to port it to newer consoles. It is quite hilarious to start up the game and get greeted by a "Press (Xbox A-Button) to continue" ... on PC ... without a controller plugged in. Yeah, it might look a bit better in 16:9 now, but who cares, when the gameplay is broken? I bet there are a lot of bugs they didnt fix or they introduced with this version, but none is so bothersome and gamebreaking like the "parry bug", which makes blocking hits of your opponent a bad idea, because if you dare to hold down the blockbutton, you might be able to block (with a longer delay than it used to be) BUT after the block the RisenHero performs a parryanimation, which roots you in place and makes you incredibly vulnerable for incoming hits and impossible to attack your opponent. This, additional to how delayed and slow the combat feels now, utterly **breaks** the game. Sure, the original game also had its issues, bugs and glitches, but we are talking about the MAIN MECHANICS of the game. To add insult to injury: THQ raised the prices with the release of the 2023 Update from 10 to 15 bucks. Patches that came afterwards to Steam (only via Beta-branches) never became released Patches, so on GoG you're shit out of luck ... but even on Steam people are just questioning what happened to the Patches (and whats gonna happen to all the bugs that came with the update) ... 11 months after the Update. You can't simply use an old Version here either - I tried all 4 with no luck. At some point they changed the entire (folder)structure of it, you can import your games, but to load them you need to manually copy and paste them into the correct folder (it still saves in the new location and the reference to the old save is lost). Tried it with the offline backup file too, but that one just throws errors.
