It's ok. Not as good as Gothic or Risen 1, but it's a continuation of the story. Whoever designed the loot in this game is insane. You'll pick locks that have the highest difficulty in the game and get almost all worthless junk. The sense of progression in terms of exploration and gear just doesn't feel right either. I can't recommend this unless you absolutely love Gothic-like games and even then it will feel like work instead of fun.
