This game came to me as a surprise. A pleasant one, I mean. I tried a while ago to play Risen 1, but it proved to me dull and I never finished it. But this one it's much better. And not only the graphics. If I may say a few words about the graphics, it's not jaw dropping, but it's all right. The game has lot's of quests and lots of loot. You are a hero who must save the world from Mara, a Titan.
You need to get four artefacts that can help you in your journey. You have also a crew that can be used in your adventure. You can upgrade your character with glory points. You have the opportunity to learn voodoo and control other characters. That's fun.
You can only use only one member of your crew each time you start a quest.
The low point is the fighting with swords. Luckily later in the game you can use pistols and muskets. This is the only downfall of this game.
