One of PB's weakest, but still charming
I have to admit, when I first got this game at launch I absolutely hated it. In most ways it was a significant step down in quality from the first Risen. The pirate theme, while fun, completely retcons the world from before. Risen 1's melee combat was excellent, and one of PB's best, and yet for reasons I'll never understand they decided to ditch it in favor of this one, which feels uncomfortably close to Gothic 3's "who can stun lock their opponent first-system". But for all that the game has that unique charm that sets PB's games apart. The world isn't anywhere near as well designed as their past games, but it's pretty and filled with fun characters. There's some fun abilities as well, like being able to train your very own pet monkey to steal for you. Unfortunately, there are only two faction choices this time, with one having the clear advantage in weaponry. Also, Risen 1's creative magic system is replaced by voodoo, which doesn't fulfill half of its promise. Still, Risen 2 offers a fun pirate-themed RPG journey if you can look past its many faults. Your mileage may vary, but if you enjoy pirate settings there's a good chance you'll get at least some enjoyment from this one. Be sure to look up the "AntiWarp" mod which fixes the ugly "morphing" trees and bushes bug.
