Risen

I, for myself, i am tired to see low scores on masterpiece games.

User Rating: 9.5 | Risen PC

Ok....so, Dragon Age or Fable 3 (which not even had Fable 2 on PC) or other over promoted game to receive such high scores.
Games like Risen or Divinity Ego Draconis were too easy passed by critics or reviewers.
Risen in many aspects is way better even than Gothic 2, and I personally find Dragon Age a commercial junk.
Risen was one of the few surprises i got in this year, this game is well made (few minor bugs, hardly seen): it got a good story, awesome graphics, lots of quests, it is HARD (the way rpgs should be), it has a very immersive world in my opinion.
I strongly recommend this game to Gothic, Divinity, Witcher, Elder Scrolls fans. This is pure old school rpg.
Voted 9.5 only because of the minor bugs, else would be a 10.
I am very curious how many reviewers here are payed to score low some games, cause it is obvious.
This game made 1 week special for me. Thank you.

  Consider this Piranha Byte's gift to beleaguered Gothic fans. An Ardently old school Euro RPG that takes no prisoners.

  Like most European RPG designers, Piranha Bytes is known for making the type of PC Role Playing Epic that has long since gone out of style. In an age where cross-platforming has killed the hardcore Computer Role Playing ... Read Full Review
