PB's worst is still really damned good.
To start this off, I'll say this: It's not as good as Risen. It's likely the worst game PB's ever done. But that's like saying the room made out of solid gold lost a single gold brick. It's still a friggin' room of gold. Nearly everything you'd expect from a good PB game, and from a good European RPG is here. It's got an amazing art style that the technical side can't match up to. It's got a phenomenally fun hand-crafted world to explore, but the mechanics involved in everything that goes on in the world are a bit clumsy. The characters are interested, but are shoddily animated and their models aren't very good. It's everything you expect from a good ERPG. The problem with NAmerican RPGs and that they're frequently more polished and cling to certain norms of the industry. This keeps them from having a lot of character and they lose sort of the indie charm that their lower-budget, European counterparts have in spades. The combat system that many complain about isn't actually awful. It's serviceable, and I didn't think it any better or worse than RIsen's system. It's just different. Have a companion with you at all times, as it was intended, and it's fine. Still difficult, but not unfair. And all your companions are memorable, particularly Patty and the gnome, the foul-mouthed gnome that learned to speak English from pirates. It's very clear, however, that PB wanted to do a pirate-themed game, and they reinvented the game world of Risen to do so. Risen 1 was more of a 'one size fits all' fantasy setting, though the change is actually explained pretty damned well, though, save for the fact that shields have apparently disappeared entirely... Just to add as a small thing... you can't interact with things as much as you could in previous PB games. No chair sitting, no going through the process to create a sword. Stuff like that. It took me about 30 hours to beat this game, doing most of the content. If you want a good time and know what you're getting, have at it.
