OXCGN’s Risen 2 Review

Pirates, monsters…and wenches!

While I normally wouldn’t sit down to play a single player Role Playing Game (RPG), being more of a social gamer and playing online multiplayer games, Risen 2 certainly attracted me at first sight.

What gamer wouldn’t be interested in plentiful pirates, mythical monsters, attractive saucy wenches and adventure on the high seas?

The swashbuckling sequel to the 2009 release of the medieval original Risen, which was not classified and so not released in Australia, Risen 2 has been released on PC and will be released on August 3rd for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

We’ve seen a steady influx of quality RPGs as of late, from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, to Bioware’s Mass Effect 3, and it isn’t stopping there.

Risen 2 the sequel to its 2009 predecessor, which was unfortunately refused classification in Australia due to its “sexual activity and drug use”, will this time see the light of day Down Under.

It continues the story of ‘The Nameless One’ who was the protagonist in the first game and is due for release  on April 27th.

AFA Interactive, who have taken over the distribution reigns of this pirate fantasy single-player epic in Australia, invited us down to shed some light on what the game has to offer and what Piranha Bytes have done to improve the sequel.

Pirates find X this way
