Starts off great, peters out a bit
Like the title says, this is a somewhat uneven game. The beginning is classic Piranha Bytes, if a little less unforgiving than usual, but by the end you're just coasting. Cities and communities feel less alive than they did in Risen 1 (to say nothing of Gothic), NPCs seem weirdly less aware of your actions, and there's less (or excessively streamlined) stuff you can do to interact with the world. The engine is very poorly optimized, and for all the pretty screenshots it can bring, it makes for a somewhat janky experience. I even had to install a community patch to solve the weird vegetation growth glitch, and the shadows are choppy by design, it seems, due to the abrupt "ticking clock" motion of the sun. The story is classic pirate-y goodness, with average-to-good voice acting that sometimes struggles with delivery in dramatic moments (German version, at least) and a lush Caribbean-like world to explore while it unfolds. Subsequent isles don't hold up to the first three's standard, however, with many reused assets, convenient quests and an all-around somewhat rushed feeling in what passes for the story's third act. Interestingly enough, the much-maligned combat system felt just fine and even fun at times, for all of its admittedly annoying quirks and a limited number of enemy types you'll soon tire of. All that being said, I quite liked it. Almost 40 hours worth of fun, in a setting that isn't really showcased all that much in this genre. Oh, as a rule of thumb, go Inquisition if you want an easier time in combat, or Voodoo if you'd like some more creative solutions for your quests and actually have a use for 70% of your loot.
