I can feel my inner Jim Hawkins calling back to me, desperately clinging for purchase of a chasm of mediocrity and disappointment. And while that voice might still mean something to me and First Mate Mr. Barkley, it’s not enough to plug the holes in a leaky product. Risen 2: Dark Waters has a whole lot of heart, but it’s that very heart that may have blinded the developers to the game’s more mundane issues. I only wish that I could have been bit blinded to them myself."
Ownership over several titles gets shuffled in THQ Nordic and Koch Media arrangement. Potential remasters, sequels, ports, and more on the horizon.
Both THQ and Koch Media are owned by the same larger company, the Embracer Group. I’m not sure why the publishing rights would need to be swapped.

In a way, i am glad. I love rpgs and would have adored a pirate themed one. But, I'm buried in great rpgs right now with no end in sight. This and the other great games racking up since Arkham city. I'm glad i can sit this one out without feeling bad. That being said, dragons dogma looks very promising...and it's coming so soon.
Risen 1 was horrible and it was pretty easy to predict this would be the same. Why so many sequels to terrible games while great games get left ashore? *Cough* Psychonauts *cough*
The whole design process these guys use is sub-par and I suggest they take a bite out of Stardock's books, who often release crappy games (with potential) and then rather than churn out sequels, instead release massive alterations to the game until it is actually a quality product. Of course we'd all prefer something good from the start, buuuuuuuut I'm just saying let's avoid the nauseating offer of a "Risen 3".
