"Late autumn is my favorite time of year - the sun rides low, the air gets crisp and cold, and I start looking for a really lengthy role playing game that I can settle in with in my game room, and by the time the snow is up against my windows, I'm too engrossed in the game to care. It's not late autumn, so I'm willing to concede that a small part of my disappointment with Piranha Bytes' Risen is just that it landed on the wrong side of the year. Truthfully, the biggest disappointment about Risen is that there are so many things about it that are good, but you simply don't get to enjoy them."
