So, I’ll start right away with the plot... I didn’t play gothic, so I don’t know when this problem started, well, the whole risen series has a problem: where is the connection??? there is a jamb between the first and second parts, now here. I drove around with Bones the whole game, only Bezymyanny and Venturo recognized him (which is strange, because there was a choice and it wasn’t a fact that he was on the team). And the rest see it for the first time.
Now about the gameplay and controls. A lot has changed here: rolls now reduce damage to you to zero (just roll around the enemy and that’s it); the fight has changed (for the better, in my opinion) now you feel this fight more (I know that it’s as vague as possible, but I don’t know how to explain... I liked it, if in general).
Graphics... I'm not good at this, the pixels don't hurt my eyes and it's fine.
Localization. There is no official one, but there are guys who have completely translated and voiced the entire game (respect and respect to them for this), there are some shortcomings, but, as far as I understand, they will still fix the problems there.
