  • Summary: Set several years after the end of Risen, raging titans have devastated the world and pushed humanity to the brink of existence. Subsequently, monstrous creatures have risen from the watery depths of the sea and their attacks have brought all seafaring to a grinding halt. The hero, now a member of the Inquisition, is sent out to find out how to stop the chaos caused by these creatures from the deep. His quest begins with rumors that the pirates who frequent the southern islands are the only ones who know a way to get rid of the creatures once and for all and end their reign of terror. Expand

    The only big problem of this porting is its technical aspect. Everything is worse than the PC version and the lack of stability in the frame rate has several bad effects on the camera. However the contents are all there.

    So yeah, Risen 2 is a pretty flawed experience, and again isn't going to be for everyone.
  3. It's ambitious, but everything in it suffers from some hideous defect, like a garden centre in the middle of Chernobyl. [Oct 2012, p.110]

  1. Very bad graphics. Font unreadable. For this port someone should lose their jobs. 8 small islands where most of the land is not available. Tragic gameplay. Freezes my consoles. The grotesque story and the world. Up to 20 hours of play. Simply a piece of junk. Expand
