At its core, Risen still does well what Piranha Bytes always did well: it gives as a very atmospheric world, filled with low-fantasy NPCs, black-and-white situations and gameplay hinging heavily on exploration and the ability to use something other than combat to resolve situations.

Risen has been heavily criticised in a lot of reviews, and the game does have its flaws there’s no doubt there, the game can be jittery at times and loading can be a pain. The game also had an issue where you couldn’t play the game when it got dark or in dark areas because it was simply too dark.

However, as we progressed through the campaign, we began to appreciate the fact that some meaningful changes have been made. The much tighter world design and fine-tuned combat mechanics do make a difference, and Risen's tale is a suitably gritty and compelling affair.

I rarely come across a title with such an atmosphere, competent AI, interesting combat system and fleshed out characters. And even if I finished it twice, I haven’t encountered too many bugs and the performance was rarely a problem.
