Risen
Description
A mysterious volcanic island.
The heavy tremors on the island bode ill for its inhabitants. Ancient temples have risen from the ground recently, bizarre creatures are terrorizing the area. Fear and terror is spreading among the population.
The end of all hope?
A group of powerful men who call themselves "The Inquisitors" have taken it upon them-selves to put an end to these events. They send an expedition to this remote island, but a storm takes hold of the ship and destroys it at sea.
A hero will come.
As if by a miracle, you survive the shipwreck and are stranded on the volcanic island alone. You find yourself amidst a chaos of rebellion, tyranny, and mystic rituals. It is up to you to decide to which side the pendulum of fate will swing.
Delve into a gritty, raw, and atmospheric fantasy world in which every action has a consequence. In the epic world of Risen, filled with mysterious earthquakes, fearsome monsters, and unimaginable treasures, forge your path with the sword, learn the art of staff fighting, or become a powerful mage.

6/10
Overall, Risen is… fine. It’s a game that was influential and beloved in its time, but that time was long ago, and many other great games have taken its place since.

6/10
Risen is packed with content and if you can get past its blemishes there is a solid RPG here to last you at least 60 hours, but I feel a lot of today’s gamers won’t even get off the beach tutorial at the beginning of the game.

6/10
The long and short of it is that Risen is a fun action-adventure RPG. It is very rough around the edges, not to the extent of some other games in the genre that came out around the same time (looking at you, Two Worlds), but it has charm. If you’re a fan of Oblivion, or Skyrim, and want to see another game that has a similar style, this might be a good pickup.

Excellent game!
I'll keep it short, it is a mix of Skyrim for exploration and Dark Souls for the combat. Very impressive.

good solid game
this game starts off slow but once it gets its hooks into you it jus pulls you in on a journey that gets better and better the deeper into the story you go. i found the combat is a bit clunky but its not that bad once u get used to it and theres some parts of the game world you can get stuck in. a few times i had to restart the game because i jumped up somwere i thaught i could climb other than that i had no real issuses. this game also dose not hold your hand it jus point you in a genral direction and the rest is up two tou. this game is a dimond in the rouhg

Buggy classic
I used to like it, but seeing how it's still riddles with issues I can't rate it high.
