Old school and tough on newcomers, but in a good way. It's made by the guys who did the Gothic series, and I think this is a better version of those games. It seems more polished, but definitely does not hold your hand, similar to the Gothic series as well. Get your ass kicked and robbed by a dude wielding a large stick.

if you want a Gothic feel like game, This is definitely a game you wanna play. Try playing on normal unless you are a very, and i saying very good gamer. That way you still have a easy mode to go back on for more difficult parts. no spoilers here, just enjoy the game.

The closest to real Gothic 3 out there. Worth a buy, especially for a fan of the earlier PB games.

Risen deserves more than it has now.. [b]WHY THIS GAME IS SO UNDERRATED?[/b]
It's like a hidden gem that no one can find because hardly anyone talks about it. You can find only a few lists of the top open world & RPG games where Risen is mentioned..
I liked everything about this game, from crafting, mining, dungeons, to the atmosphere, characters and story.
ofc, the game has some flaws (combat system could be better) but nevertheless, i think the game is perfect, and that already says a lot.
