    Risen could (or should) be a great game, but like all of deep silver games, it is bugy as hell...

    If it was a side quest for Gothic 1, I wouldn't say a thing...

    ... but because it's not, I am going to say a few words of a warning. I'll start with the first thing that hit me - the graphics, it looks worse even that Gothic 1, and it is not a case of a weak pc (I have Intel Duo 3Gh... Read Full Review
