RISEN 2: DARK WATERS XBOX 360 X360

Risen 2: Dark Waters is an action role-playing game and a direct sequel to Risen. It features the same main character, now a member of the Inquisition. The action of the game takes place several years after the events of the first game, in a pirate-themed Caribbean-style world. Gameplay more or less follows the same recipe as every other Piranha Bytes RPG since Gothic, emphasizing progressive world exploration, action-oriented combat, and quests.

The game allows the player to explore a world divided into several large islands, each loaded separately during gameplay. Not all islands are accessible from the start, but as the story unfolds, all of them can be explored by the player. Each island contains wilderness areas and settlements where the protagonist can receive story advancement quests as well as side quests. Unlike its predecessors, there are few opportunities to join a faction in Risen 2; there is a line between the different factions, but the difference between them is not as critical as before. However, the player still has a considerable degree of freedom to accept or decline quests, some of which may have different outcomes or contradict each other.
