Risen

Great game but sometimes creepy......

User Rating: 7.5 | Risen PC

A great game from deep silver and piranha bytes and a very underrated one. The graphics are solid the world is amazing but sometimes gets creepy when mosquitoes attack you and the rotworms they make creepy sounds when day attack but other then that its a great game also it`s a a little hard to navigate in the island because there are many paths in the forest. Gameplay is good playing time well two weeks or something like that. Here are the stats:


Gameplay: 8.5
Graphics: 8.0
World: 8.0 - would be a 9.0 but its all forest
Skills and Talents: 8.5 - should of been more to chose from

Bad Things:

Can`t customize main character
Few armor choices
Can`t see some of the opponent at night in the forests
Can`t put poisons on weapons or make them frozen etc
Opponents like mosquitoes, rotworms, hedgehog and Giant birds are creepy....
