Top RPGs of 2012. It’s almost the dawn of the new year and new games loom on the horizon. We take a look at the most-wanted RPGs of 2012.

#5 Risen 2

Risen 2 is the sequel to Risen, by veteran RPG studio Piranha Bytes, who were also responsible for the excellent Gothic series of RPGs.

Players once again take on the role of the main character in Risen, now a drunkard—disillusioned by his experiences. Bearing an eyepatch to hide his Inquisitor monocle, the hero must regain his strength as he is called into duty by an old friend, whom he teams up with.

As a dedicated PC developer, Piranha Bytes is developing the game directly for the PC, which will then be ported to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
