Risen 2: Dark Waters

Мне понравилось это приключение! Правда со второго захода) Ранее на релизе брался играть, вроде неплохо, но не мог смириться с другим сеттингом и геймплеем, по сравнению с Готикой/1м Risen. И вот, спустя года решил вернуться и попробовать снова. Договорился с собой рассматривать игру как самостоятельный проект, по мотивам Risen. Не опираясь на ранние игры. И мне это удалось! Игра на самом деле интересная, даже спустя столько лет. Чувствуется дух пиратской романтики и покорения Америки конкистадорами. Играется бодро, скучно не было. Много тематического юмора и отсылок к 1 Risen. В общем доволен и рекомендую! Спасибо разработчикам за игру, спустя время оценил)

+Pirate setting, which Piranhas romanced from Gothic 2, is handled with genuine care. This is not sunday afternoon grog-swilling Jolly Rogers swinging, but a layered adventure with political intrigue, fractured between several islands, and good ambitions woven through its bones +Voodoo and tribal aesthetics are handled with genuine respect, treated as a layered cultural mythology woven into the world's lore rather than mockery +Cunning-based skills add genuine personality to interactions, ability to shoot an NPC in the face mid-conversation being a particular highlight. +World is genuinely fun to explore, with tropical atmosphere, humid jungles, dank caves and imposing Mayan temples full of traps. -Combat is significant step-back from, intention of capturing the feel of climactic saber duels in flintlock smoke is understandable, but the execution in underwhelming and abandons the interesting direction the first Risen was pointing toward. -For a pirate RPG that gives you your own ship and then no ability to use it it any meaningful, just feels like a wasted opportunity, that stings even more knowing that there were older RPGs that gave you full control on your personalized vessel both in travel and combat. -Companion system undermines itself, allies feel more like luggage than characters, with limited reactivity and AI that makes them a liability in combat more often than an asset. Overall 7/10. It's a charming swashbuckling adventure I would recommend for every fan of Pirate climates, but it's cursed on almost every step with wasted potential. Makes you feel all the things from Piranha Bytes games so great, at the same time filling you with sense impeding fall of that studio.

Nunca na minha vida eu teria imaginado que um jogo com um combate tão podre como esse, fosse capaz de existir, esse jogo foi a pior experiencia que eu já tive com jogos, nunca que eu volto a jogar esse erro ou qualquer outra bosta da franquia, gameplay horrível.

I know people think this is the weakest of the Risen games, but for me, the whole pirate and island exploration just hit a spot I didn't know I had. The story is meh, but the whole setting had me hooked. I went with a ranged playstyle, and it was just a "blast" to play. I liked it, but I understand the criticism it is getting.

Нормальная игра для своего времени, сейчас конечно мало кто будет играть в такое. Только любители олды или такие как я игравшие в юношестве или совсем молодости. Есть критические баги на новом железе, надо качать софтины ограничивающие оперативку до 4гб ибо вылеты обеспечены.
