    Players are running around like the Fast Zombies from Half-Life 2.

  • Risen is Coming to PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch

    Risen is Coming to PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch

    The classic (and difficult) RPG is coming to several modern platforms.

    THQ Nordic says that the classic RPG Risen is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on January 24, 2023. This action-RPG dates back to 2009 when it was first released on PC and the Xbox 360 and is a damn fine RPG that doesn't shy away from being brutally difficult at times. The Risen titles are essentially the spiritual successor to the equally difficult Gothic franchise.
