[World of Risen]

Just in case you still haven't made up your mind about trying out Risen 2, here are a three more reviews:

winarticles.net:

"Having said all that, Risen 2 kept me playing on despite its flaws. It has a robust charm that is partly due to its fun, pirate theme, and the way one alluring quest always leads into another. Much like the Gothic games. Risen 2 can be hugely enjoyable even though you sometimes feel like you’re beta testing an unfinished work. If you can tactfully look away from its technical warts, it’s likely to seduce you and take you on a memorable role-playing romp."

Giuseppe Nelva for DualShockers:

"Risen 2: Dark Waters is a big missed opportunity. The setting, the story and the main characters are extremely enjoyable, but in order to make the game accessible Piranha Bytes removed a lot of the elements that made the previous Risen shine. A rushed release and probably an excessively low budget ended up cutting off the legs of the game and the wooden peg legs used as replacements struggle in supporting the weight of the experience."

Melisa Snyder for The Married Gamers:

"In conclusion I must state again, patience is the key for this game. It is hard in the beginning, extremely hard. The player is pretty weak and can’t afford most upgrades to skills. This can lead to a LOT of frustration but hang in there. The player will be rewarded for their loyalty with a game that is insanely rich in environments and adventure. The story works and there are plenty of characters and places to find and explore. The player can choose a variety of ways to progress through story allowing the player to capitalize on their well-earned skills."
