Yo-ho-ho! (and a bottle of rum!) Thar be a reason I be talking like a pirate today, mateys! Arrrrr! Shall we see what that thar reason be, me buckos? Today's game be: --------------------- Risen 2: Dark Waters - Gold Edition One of the greatest CRPG game ever produced... is not the Risen 2. But the guys who developed the aforementioned classics (the Gothic series) are also the guys behind the Risen franchise, and while the Risen games may not equal the awesomeness of the Gothic games, they still have their own special charm. Similar to the Elder Scrolls series, the game has a more focused narrative and - unusually - sports an imaginative mix of Sword-n-Sorcery and Pirate settings. The combat is a bit awkward but the lush landscapes and irreverent attitude of the protagonist make up for it. Risen 2 isn't the greatest RPG ever made, but its got its own unique character and a lot of solid content for a role-playing connoisseur to enjoy. Platform: Windows PC Distributor: Steam Key: VAV3K-K53F4-WFWFP (Did you ever notice that Santa looks a bit like a pirate, what with he beard, the outrageous clothing and the fixation on loot?) Yo-ho-ho!
