Risen Review

Aeropause is next in line with a semi-favorable review of Risen, during which they slap a score of 3/5 on the Xbox 360 version of the game. Their conclusion:

RISEN is an enjoyable game if you are willing to be patient and put in a lot of time questing, cooking, foraging and crafting. The payoff in your success in these items will reward you with a much more enjoyable experience. However, I feel that most Xbox 360 owners will not want to take the time to learn the nuances of RISEN, and in return will never learn to enjoy the game. While RISEN makes for a solid PC RPG experience, it never rises above mild curiosity on the console. It is a solid effort by the team at Piranha Bytes and their porting team, but in the end, RISEN is an experience best suited in the comfort of your computer chair. By no means is RISEN a bad game, but just a game that never learns to be comfortable in its console confines.
