Contraindications:
- Graphics in cities and caves very poor to atrocious (and I'm really not Grafikjunkee)
- Rather modest with some very crappy animation characters (eg pull Degen, Language animation especially the female characters)
- Character Building rather tired and not very motivating, because hardly noticeable impact
- Balancing extremely wrong, there really too easy. Two shots with the musket and the monstrous, terrifying hobgoblin gives off the spoon. The Bosskämfe can not exactly be described as one challenge. So remains tend to feel "like, that's it?", As "Phew, finally made the hard nut, I can be proud of it"
- What you can build so is not really of needs (build forging and firearms is really unnecessary), because everything is so easy that you do not need the "special" weapons
- The story has Europe been some more or less surprising turns, although not really a rip off your feet. Otherwise, I would call the story rather than crude. It does not really builds up a tension! What is there happened to PB? Here they have their former strength really lent. That makes me the saddest thing about this game because I am afraid that because of PB in the future is not much (Yes, the mainstream)!
- The various opponents (if you can call different because: different monkeys and big cats, which all behave the same, and only different damage values have) are clear to me too little and repeat themselves really ever. An increase in the difficulty is so marginal, basically it does not matter whom one faces. The same applies actually for the human opponent, such as pirate captains)
- The battles are much worse than in Risen 1, barely tactic hardly claim, far too easy !!! That was better already in Gothic 1 ...
- The beautiful rough world of previous games is gone, the PB-games are always child-compatible (which is not necessarily bad, but adults will probably not addressed)
- So beautiful the pirate setting is also really exciting or even creepy atmosphere come here absolutely not (is perhaps even at the low level of difficulty). You really never feel that it is somehow tough or what happens unexpected.
Pro:
- Beautiful game world beyond the areas mentioned above. Here agrees the graphics. About the size can not complain, but more would always ...
- Hardly bugs, at least do not interfere with the game to pass the long term.
- Good travel system
- Some successful animations that give pleasure
- Music good, but unfortunately too little voltage generating
- The playing time is in my opinion ok
Conclusion: For children (which includes the audience appear) a quite successful game for adults (and as such I rate the game) clearly easy to good, too superficial and too boring .... !!!
