I got so much |
If you are sick of WOW clones, and half developed MMORPGs pushed out the door (like most are) but single player RPGs , dont give you quite the same kick... Than you should try "Risen"
There is a demo on steam.
Closest thing to describe the game would be - TES Oblivion - not screwed by scaling difficulty. Risen is hardcore, and very old school. Sandbox leveling, factions, crafting and lot of exploration.
Real gem ;)

I just bought this game and am about to play it It recieved many good reviews from GameSpot so this one just reinforces my decision was a good one to buy it :) "after the time of dice came the day of mice " |

It's pretty much Gothic 3, minus the fail.
In other words, it's awesome. :D |

Risen is an awesome game. While Eve sucked me back into the mmo genre I often enjoy a great rpg when I wanna relax on my sofa with a beer. Why would I play a pathetic themepark MMO when I could enjoy a masterpiece like Mass Effect, Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Dragon Age? |

This is nothing like the Elder Scrolls series, ya can't even consider comparing them. Elder Scrolls IV especially is a joke compared to this....Risen and the Gothic series in general are very brutal and what a good RPG should be like and about....none of that easy BS. Gothic 3 was ok after a few patches but damn was it a good decision to fire that JoWood Studios that fucked up Gothic 3 to begin with....this is what it should have turned out to be.
Already had a thread started on Risen in the more appropriate location! Much more info presented as well as links to the demo and trailers of gameplay and CG! Greatly enjoying this RPG so check it out if you want something that's worth every dime and more!  |
