Description
The Gold Edition includes: Risen 2: Dark Waters, and the following DLCs: Risen 2: Dark Waters - Treasure Isle, Risen 2: Dark Waters - A Pirate's Clothes, Risen 2: Dark Waters - Air Temple.

Set several years after the end of Risen, raging titans have devastated the world and pushed humanity to the brink of existence. Subsequently, monstrous creatures have risen from the watery depths of the sea and their attacks have brought all seafaring to a grinding halt.

The hero, now a member of the Inquisition, is sent out to find out how to stop the chaos caused by these creatures from the deep. His quest begins with rumors that the pirates who frequent the southern islands are the only ones who know a way to get rid of the creatures once and for all and end their reign of terror.
  • With an all-new pirate-based theme, Risen 2: Dark Waters aims to combine the most loved classic RPG gameplay mechanics of the original Risen with a fresh theme and setting on a huge variety of themed island locales.
  • A third-person role-playing game set in a dark and gritty universe, Risen 2: Dark Waters maintains the most immersive features of the original Risen, with multiple approaches to every challenge allowing players to shape the game world based on their own decisions. These choices will serve to unlock new paths, features and additional skills for the character.
  • Together with a highly interactive environment and a full day/night-cycle affecting countless aspects of the game world, Risen 2 will be set in the most immersive RPG game world so far.

Great Game

I had a lot of fun. I like the setting and athmosphere and great soundtrack. In its core its still has gothic flavour.

Big step back for the series

Big step back for the series, stupid combat system, only one side to "choose" , more Indiana Jones that RPG. For example your clothes practically doesn't matter NPC, also you can see many clones.

Good idea but extremely poor realized

This is another example of how you shouldn't make a game. The world feels absolutely empty. Every place you visit feels like you are already finished after 2 minutes, because there is nothing to do and nobody to care about. Already after the first 10 minutes you get the feeling of having seen everything and everyone in the whole game. The problem is not that the world is small. But the possibilities are limited to an amount, that the game itself feels empty. Characters, interaction and progress is almost non-existent. It feels, as if you are stumbeling in a world full of doom where the only thing you are going to see is the evil guys doormat. I had the best laugh when entering Caldera - the so called main city in the game. I don't know what you think of a main city, but in my assumption a CITY has a bit more then 5 houses and 10 inhabitants. This was down right laughably painfull to explore - and it is only one flaw of the many unused possibilities. Risen 2 not even scratches on the surface of what could have been a good and promising pirate setting. Very disappointing.

A game to buy on special offers

Verry good game, not a perfect, small maps. No many side quests. I completed the game in 45 hours and explored every nook and cranny.

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.
