Risen is one of those RPGs where everything is created with attention to the detail. The lore and the quests are a positive example for other newer dull RPGs because of their realistic nature and creative structure.
I rarely review a game, but Risen caught my attention being distinctive from other games of the same genre apart from Gothic I and II that were made by the same developer, Piranha Bytes. It is basically a Gothic game, but with a better design and a bug-free experience. For me, this is the only Piranha Bytes game that managed to create a truly original and interesting setting along with Gothic I. It has an open-world right from the start and the protagonist is just a guy who wants to survive the dangers of the Sicily like island he wrecked where a really fascinating Inquisition is also present. The guild-based progression system from Gothic I and II returns. Also the NPCs with daily routines and the exceptional voice acting are some of the main aspects that help the atmosphere to be a unique and realistic one.
The graphics are simple and beautiful along with the atmospheric soundtrack. You can join one of the three guilds, each one with its own story, skills and outfits. You can train your character to fight with different types of weapons. Also the magic-skill system is very well designed and it is easy and enjoyable to use. You can also craft potions and weapons, but you need to be careful on which skills are you spending your learning points which are acquired by leveling up because almost every choice in this game is meaningful and permanent.
The first hours in Risen can be quite difficult, but the experience is rewarding and after the beginning everything becomes easier without the engaging quests to disappear.
If you haven't played Risen yet, you should give it a try because it will give you a sense of rewarding and accomplishment which will remain in your memory for a long time.

The title Risen is chosen very well, as with this game, Piranha Bytes has risen from the ashes that publisher JoWood made of the Gothic series.
Seriously though, this is a great game for fans of the old Gothic titles (1 & 2), It follows the same scheme: The unnamed hero is thrown into a rough and dirty fantasy world and rises from a wimp without skills to the saviour of the world. All the while he rises through the ranks of different factions and has blunt but often rather humorous dialogues with NPCs.
While this formula works yet again and while the smaller, more detailed world is very pretty and fun to explore, the game does not quite reach the heights of the Gothic series IMO. Why? Because of the later acts of the game. The beginning is absolutely fantastic. You get to know the factions and there is something new and exciting around every corner. However, later in the game you spend a lot of time in caves and dungeons as you collect things (be that some mystical shard or pieces of an armour). Going back to places you already know barely holds new quests or dialogue from NPCs. Gothic 2 handled that one better and got the maximum out of the fact that PB games are structured into chapters.
Nonetheless, Risen is an extremely fun RPG which will keep you entertained for hours. Just be prepared for a tough difficulty level (another trademark of PB games).
This game is a gem! The combat looks and feels better in game than it does in gameplay videos (if that makes sense) and the music is great, and the voice acting is surprisingly good. Animations are a bit dated but not bad. The game rewards you with loot, but does not overload you with weapons and gear, I am still running around in tattered clothes and the 1st real sword i found! The best part is the game doesn't "hold your hand" with a mini map and map markers ( i am not a fan of mini maps, too distracting). It makes the game more emmersive and you aren't staring at the upper right hand corner of the screen constantly, you actually have to explore! The landscapes look really good for this old of a game! Why didn't i buy this before? Angry console reviews turned me off from trying it, and now i am so glad i did!
All in all: totaly worth the price on sale. Pick it up if you are a fan of rpg's, you won't regret it.
risen 1 review (no spoilers just tips)
- genre: action-rpg
- released in: 2009
- similar gams: gothic 1, 2, 3
- don't get caught and sent to monastery. even if you want to become a holy warrior or wizard type, you'll miss on lots of quests, experience and money.
- go for alchemy it pays off greatly. but don't use strength potions before you max out on strength from your level-up skill points. if you reach 200 strength you'll be killing machine
- some people say Sneak is not worth investing in because you can just use a ring which grants you this skill. but some monsters like the powerful ogres who can 1-hit you, they require sneak to beat them and using a ring means you could use that finger for some OTHER ring.. like one which gives you strength or whatever
- people say prospecting, i mean mining ore and forging stuff doesn't pay off. i made good rings and amulets which can't be found in stores or anywhere else so for me it was good. also about mining - keep some gold ore for the later chapters when you'll need it to make obsidian weapons
- don't eat Wanderlust. it may give you a little experience now (10 points) but later on you'll be able to make potions out of it which is much better
- try to kill as many enemies as you can before moving on to next chapter because at beginning of each chapter, more monsters are added and the old ones still exist which means that if you don't kill them now, most likely you won't kill them in the future if they make a herd and become many
- try to beat up anyone you can, even friendlies, for experience, their weapon and sometimes other loot. you only have to do this once for each NPC and after you did it, their weapon will be replaced by clubs or wooden spears so you'll recognize easily who needs beating and who don't. you can steal from their bodies too but be careful that nobody sees you (or those present are knocked down as well). sometimes guards are annoying and no matter how many times you beat them, they'll still attack you. it's not nice but i killed most guards in harbor city just for this reason; again, nobody must see you or they won't talk to you anymore and will require you to use a Joke Spell on them to make them friendly again
- there are some puzzles in the game but they're pretty easy once you know that you can use a bow / crossbow to hit stone buttons which do certain stuff, or you can levitate above pressure plates that would normally make spikes go up from under you, or you can manipulate levers with Telekineses spell
- use lockpicking and pickpocketing they good. in games like baldur's gate 2, if you fail pickpocketing you just have to reload; that's lame. here you can never fail in pickpocketing. you just see the items your victim is carrying then you have to pick one to steal. simple
- try to use water barrels or beds to heal you for free instead of using potions
- if you play melee i think the best choice is to become Bandit, to be one of the Don's men. they teach you sword and axe fighting and as you progress, you'll be able to use deadlier swords like the bastard type or even two-handed ones in a single hand while the other, you use a shield. sword is fastest weapon of all and when you're fighting multiple opponents you'll really need that speed
- even from beginning of game you'll meet different types of enemy who require different tactic. the sea vultures for example are best killed after you put them with backs against a wall so they can't retreat anymore. their attacks are fast but weak man ok? but beware of their distance power attack. sting rats are similar also weak and fast attacks but they don't back off that much, no power attack, so they weaker. wolves are fast so don't run away from them just stay and fight. they usually in packs but they predictable; you can fight even 4-5 at once and if you good and lucky, you won't take a single hit; you must side-step a lot to avoid their attacks. boars make lot of damage they slower than a wolf but dangerous
- if you low health in a fight, use healing potions but know that it takes time until you actually drink it so best run away while using it. if you run away from wolves, run in zig-zag so you're harder to hit
- there's a glitch in the game: if you attack enemy from behind over and over, each of your attacks will reset their position so they'll constantly keep their backs on you. but watch out that they don't back-step because they'll be at your back in an instant. in harbor city there's a friendly ogre who can teach you axe fighting - i did this to him, i was just trying to beat him for experience but after fight finish, he was dead so i had to reload. i think it's because ogre is enemy by default so that why he die instead of knock down
- the buttons for quick load / save are F9 and F10 and they can't be reconfigured. be careful that you don't save your game by mistake when you want to re-load. i don't think you can save while you're dead but you could save near death. i once saved in tomb raider while i was in the air and when i load game, i fall and die
- there's day and night cycle in the game but for me torches weren't too useful. it was harder to play at night because of visibility and once you use a torch you can't put it back in inventory; you just drop it while you equip weapons and after a fight, you can pick it up again but still pretty lame
- the game says that in order to defeat the last boss you'll need a special weapon: the titan hammer which is actually an axe type of weapon so naturally you'll think you need to level up your axe skills but that's wrong because there are similar weapons for each type: for sword and quarterstaff too.
PS: i make good review yes? can i get a witness?...... :-/
The first two Gothic games were unplayable because of the terrible controls and terrible combat system. Risen ist perfect. You can play it with Xbox controller (Xpadder) too! I have all 3 Risen games on all systems and love all Risen games.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
