Well.. what can i say about this game.. IT ROCKS. I was waiting for an Rpg like this for a long time, probably since Neverwinter Nights 2.
This game has very beautiful graphics, and a good score. The game play while simple, is awesome. Unlike other Rpg where in a fight, all you have to do is click click click to win a battle, in Risen with every type of monster, you have to think and act fast to beat him. (Monster AI is excelent!!) - Beware of Ghouls!!
The game has some minor issues, but fixable with a small patch.
One thing i also loved, is the fact that the game doesn´t require a high end pc to run on high settings.
Imagine a world where you can explore everything, from admiring a sunset in a far landscape, to a treasure hunt in a deadly crypt buried beneath the earth.
If you are an RPG lover like me, don´t miss this one. Let´s just pray for an expansion :D
