Echoing many of the reviews so far: If you liked the Gothic games, and even Risen, then you'll love this game. There's literally no hand-holding when it comes to difficulty. On more than one occasion I've walked fifty feet from where I one-shotted a monster, only to have one where my damage doesn't even make their health bar visibly move. There are some rough patches, such as the voice acting, but it's not really that bad. I think that it's more than made up for by an intriguing story, neat side quests, open world exploration with a jet pack, and the ability to choose between lasers, magic, and harpoon guns. Overall, I highly recommend this game.
