The game is better than its predecessor in every respect.
The graphics are surprisingly beautiful and highly detailed, the sound excellent, the atmosphere and the setting just great. The animations have been improved significantly. The details lovingly made, the hint of self-mockery and the harmonious South Sea atmosphere leave a uninhibited plunge into this world (the more you can rely on that you do not have to do at the next corner a little perverse, as in most other today's games) , The game sucks on a formal and one can drop into this world simply. (Oddly, want most of the players that I know this seriousness of eg Crysis and really been specially exaggerated violence in many of today's games do not, the games would thus not really lose, but they would even prefer to play. That's my opinion in a completely wrong direction (I do not mean "action" but the really already exaggerated perversions which I do not like to mention on here).
As has Piranha Bytes again done everything right, making it in today's games Marsh a real anomaly.
I look forward to a really great South Sea Adventure. Since PC games fun again.
Thank Piranha Bytes.
PS: Another thing forgotten: DRM-Free. It can be easy to install and play - madness!
Supplement 10.13.2014:
I must say I still prefer playing than 3 Risen Skyrim (and Skyrim was really very good and especially GROOOOSSSS). But the game world like it here better, and it is also charming. It's just really fun to walk around the islands and to explore everything and enjoy the atmosphere. A great game.
Some seem to have encountered the fact that I've ranted about games like Borderlands 2, Wolfenstein and Crysis. To clear the record straight: Those are all real Super games, there's nothing. But they would all to win clearly in my view if they would leave the Extra-Extra perverse violence. In short: While Borderlands is a shooter tips, you should really play any games in which, for example, is on a mission: "shooting the guy in the face!" I think that says it all, what you can say about it.
