Better than Risen 1
Risen 2 was able to bring some freshness in the Risen formula. The pirate theme sounds strange at first, but it is greatly implemented and creates fantastic atmosphere to the game. There are more islands to explore with different people and quests. Exploration is fun as ever and the side quests are better than in the first game. The game is more linear than Risen 1 but in comparison the devs delivered a decent story with some good moments (which they failed with Risen 1 and ultimately with Risen 3). After the patches the fighting system became better than it was, still not so good. This can be the mayor complaint against the game, but who plays an rpg for the fighting? In most of the cases it is good enough to support the other gameplay elements which are entertaining. I enjoyed this game more than I thought, and more than Risen 1 and Risen 3. For me this is the best of the series. If you want to play a challenging and enjoyable rpg grab this. Maybe not for the full price, but it's a good bargain on a sale.
