Well as I say I haven't played much of it. A lot of people have played it quite a lot or finished it over on the official forums so you might want to go there and check out there opinions. You might really enjoy it or not. Only way to really tell is trying a demo (I think there might be one on steam, not sure) or by just buying it. Risen 1 took a long time before the price went down so waiting for a price drop before playing it might be a long wait...
