World of Risen

The website EuroGamer has published a english review for RISEN. Their opinion of the game seems to be not that good.
Excerpt:
It's something of a tragedy, since there's clearly a really good RPG buried under all this technical mediocrity. The gameworld may feel like a patchwork of other RPG settings, but it flows seamlessly and once you've picked up enough equipment and skills to make the control problems more manageable the urge to explore becomes much stronger. With dozens of varied skills to master, hundreds of quests and a potentially rich system of magic, potions and scrolls, there's no shortage of depth for players with the fortitude to battle past the wonky exterior. I begrudgingly began to enjoy myself after about 20 hours of play, but not so much that the thought of the hours ahead didn't feel like a sentence.
