I believe I've seen this somewhere...

User Rating: 7.5 | Risen PC
Risen is a game that I got unintentionally - I never heard of it before, but because I'm looking for something new and this came up.

From the first steps when washed ashore I noted that I've been here already. Maybe it's my own fault, but having played numerous games (many of them I don't even to bother listing in gamespot profile) I've started noticing "lack of innovation" in terms of story, graphics, design, features etc.
The story started off as lets say Age of Conan - where you are also washed ashore and meet some random girl (exscept in Conan she was more beautiful). The whole item, skill, ability and UI really feel slike Gothic 3. Even combat feels like it.
Sure its a differnet story, but I mean come on...

Linear path is not my style, and the "options" I get to choose, really aren't options. The same old mage, melee or archer is boring (for me at least).

It's the same old bucket, I have payed before, but its repainted with new colors and with fixed leaks.
