Drithius
Magic & Loss
The game is pretty much a Gothic/Risen clone. Nothing wrong with that I guess - I mean if Vogel can relaunch the same game year after year, Piranha Bytes should be able to partake of the same stagnancy of ideas as well.
And, while I feel that D:OS 2 falters in certain key areas, there's no denying that it's greatly more original than a Gothic retread, if only for its freeform multiplayer aspect. Still, it all comes down to what you prefer in a game. Myself, I'll be waiting 6-12 months; I've already played this game in the form of Gothic and Risen and don't personally sense any urgency to rush into another reskin while it's still in need of patching.
