The original Risen was a game after my own heart. It was much of what I loved about Gothic with some streamlined fixes and upgrades. Risen 2, however, was none of that. The universe was reinvented, the combat system is horrific, the voice acting/script is all tongue-in-cheek, and the animations while the characters are talking is just over-the-top silly. I don't recommend this game to anyone who enjoyed Gothic and Risen.
