Gamernode writes: "Releasing a title during the Fall quarter can be a daunting task, especially when your game is an RPG that will be competing with BioWare's latest epic, Dragon Age: Origins. But developer Piranha Bytes and publisher Deep Silver gave it a go with their third-person action RPG Risen. While the game has places where it shines and can feature a worthwhile RPG experience, several glitches and shortcomings seem to keep the game from ever reaching the level of enjoyment that has come with other games in the genre like Fallout 3 and Oblivion." 6.5/10
