Risen is rife with janky Eastern Europe sensibilities, but it is nonetheless an engaging experience, thanks to a world full of detail and secret places to find and combat that gets interesting once you get to the higher levels. I don't know if I'd necessarily call it "good" though.

I really liked it. The overarching story wasn't as engaging to me but the subquests were cool.

Also, I really dug the combat in this game (as unforgiving as it was). Lots of exploring, interesting enemies. Just don't go in expecting D&D levels of customization and depth but in a way that's why I found it a bit charming (its very straightforward in some cases).

It sounds like a weird comparison but I feel as though this game is like some Eastern European Zelda or something. You'll be scouring the island for secrets and stat increasing herbs. Sometimes little nooks you've looked over will have something interesting etc.

And I agree with Himuro on playing it on the PC, this game is supposed to be straight booty on the 360 (visually and as far as how stable it is).

Slow and tedious. I'll give it a few more hours tomorrow but unless it picks up I'm dropping it.

I'm sure there is a cross-section of gamers who dig this sort of thing but there is too much crap here for me to plow through to enjoy the game that its not worth my time. Based on some of the people who were recommending it, I should have known I wouldn't like it so I'll chalk this one up as my fault.
