"Terrible"
1 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I gave up on this game after about twelve hours. It is just SO dull. On top of that the graphics are abysmal. They truly have to be seen to be believed. There's a beautiful engine under there but either it's been nerfed really badly for the 360 or it's just a bad port. The character animations are goofy and unlifelike. The combat is awkward and unsatisfying. Although the voice work in general is pretty good, the voice of the protagonist is dull and completely lifeless.

There is just nothing redeemable about the game. It has nice music and the monsters are pretty cool, that's about it.

I'm a big fan of Piranha Bytes early games, Gothic 1 and 2, and enjoyed Risen 1 and I really wanted to like this game despite what I'd heard about it, but I just couldn't. Even if you manage to put up with the graphics and combat the game itself is just so boring.

"A bit glitchy good adventure game"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

A bit glitchy good adventure game,Really looked forrward to play this game pictures and youtube trailer was really good then you play the game and wonder do the game makers play games glitchy movement at times,Could of been more like fable game style or combat and movement like assassins creed but no not good like those games.Sort game you play once for the rpg story and then sell after you clock it.

I really liked the first in the series, and this one ended up even better! If you like RPG's, you're bound to like this.

Description

Several years after the end of Risen, humanity is pushed to the brink of existence and one of the only safe havens is Caldera, a city located on the peninsula of the Lost Realm. However, even this sanctuary is threatened by the world at chaos, as monstrous sea monsters cause shipments of vital supplies to come to a grinding halt. The hero, upon discovering a rumor that the pirates of the Southern islands know of a way to banish the creatures of the deep, journeys to infiltrate their ranks and attempt to acquire this knowledge in time to save Caldera from imminent peril.

Features:

  • Risen 2 features a unique, tropical fantasy setting in an open world complete with firearms, dirty tricks and a brand new situationally appropriate magic style.
  • The game includes completely overhauled, sophisticated tech providing vastly improved high-res texturing, brand new weather, water and light/shadow effects, a fully revamped character animation system and an exhaustive NPC character model design which greatly reduces the chance of “clone” NPCs.
  • One of the most intense, immersive game worlds ever created, Risen 2 intends to fully envelop its players in its world with a full day/night cycle, dynamic weather patterns, NPCs with daily routines who react based on your behavior, and even creature AI with routine behaviors such as scavenging and sleeping that are impacted by the time of day.
  • Risen 2 allows players to shape their game experience and even the game world itself depending on their actions and choices. Every decision made has a consequence – it may change the character’s ski­llset, NPC relationships, or even potential questlines.
  • Several unique islands, all lovingly designed by hand with no copy and paste set pieces, encourage exploration and adventure while the player hunts for secret treasures and hidden areas.
