Risen - Featured in Resolution Magazine's Favorite Games of the Year 2009

The people at Resolution Magazine are writing articles about their favorite video games of 2009. Today, the feature article is about Risen, the RPG from Piranha Bytes.

Here's their take on the universe in Risen:

What's impressive about this universe is the attention to detail involved with each and every aspect, from the distinct personalities of the individuals you meet, to the design of the many caves and tunnels forming dungeons throughout the island. It's a small place with an equally small population, but despite this you'll find more than 50 hours' worth of enjoyment bundled in with it; the phrase "good things come in small packages" has never felt so true. It's nothing short of impressive that a developer can pack so much into such a small area, making you wonder what they could do with a world on the scale of Oblivion or Fallout 3.
