Good entertaining RPG

The 2012 published Risen 2: Dark Waters Although sufficient atmospherically not quite to the predecessor Risen zoom and can not keep up with the scope of Skyrim Monster course. But do not have to tie up the player the same for 250 to 300 hours or 3 to 4 months to the screen every RPG; 45 hours respectively. 3 or 4 weeks as here at Risen 2 or even at Risen 1 do it eventually.

The world of Risen 2 is in this case have been much greater than in Risen 1: instead of an island which is, of course, none of these island reaches the size of Faranga from Part 1 the player a whole, of course, to be discovered little by little archipelago available.
Interestingly, if a little clichéd, the pirate setting which is served is a bit to run without too deep: But it has found a mounted with cannon ship, muskets, pistols and Piratenkostümierung naval battles with other ships or land battles with opposing musketeers as well as not held, remembered utkejte Wassertitanin Mara and her monster and against other monsters and a little also against enemy pirates and natives.
Better managed, however, is really nicely designed Caribbean jungle atmosphere of the archipelago and in particular the representation of natives who come up with javelins and voodoo.

In addition to the very funny main quest the player also hold back a large number of course according to the approved scheme of F go to kill X Y Z or bring the subject held, side quests on their toes and animate in addition to games to actually fully explore.

Acceptable as at the first part is gradually taking place character design in which one can buy for prestige points higher level at blades, firearms, hardness, skill and magic replace Voodoo and can buy it for cash at appropriate masters new skills.
Is weak, as is often criticized, the unimaginative combat system, and thus to the sometimes chaotic camerawork which I have, however, already counted when buying.
A good option is to put together a crew of friendly NPCs, one of which is a most can ever made a companion and bodyguard ashore.

Overall, a motivating and solid staged play with something gewöhnungsbedürfiger graphics, which is always better to rather weak start, with the time and in the end may even trigger a certain addictive, a great and beautiful game world and all sorts of lively dialogues have thus quite a credible atmosphere can unfold and the players for a reasonable time entertainment and employment offers.

This Gold Edition includes the three addons air temple treasure island and pirate clothing, but requires, as has been the main game,
still a connection to Steam. After all, the installation went smoothly with me from the DVD and after 20 minutes I was able to start playing.

Therefore, even 4 stars despite Steam connectivity and other minor defects.
