Risen 2: Dark Waters Preview

The editors at NowGamer have cranked out a brief preview of Risen 2: Dark Waters that primarily points out the differences between the first Risen and the forthcoming sequel.

Disposing of button-mashing melee combat, players will instead set out across three separate islands, armed to the teeth with an assortment of handguns and cannons that might make Jack Sparrow think twice. Probably.

Set several years after Risen’s denouement, it’ll see an identical hero return after years sat depressed at the end of a barman’s tap such is the level of destruction being wrought upon his home world by an assortment of sea monsters and titans, which previously caused him so much trouble.

Featuring several elements truly remiss in their absence last time around most notably a full day/night cycle and fast travel between each insular setting it should at least entertain those willing to offer a second chance.
