Set several years after the end of Risen, raging titans have devastated the world and pushed humanity to the brink of existence. Subsequently, monstrous creatures have risen from the watery depths of the sea and their attacks have brought all seafaring to a grinding halt.

This game is horrible and clunky and full of uncanny valley moments, but it just has oodles of charm. I love having to work my way up to becoming a pirate, needing to learn even the most basic skills (such as kicking). Creative, fun, and with memorable characters. A flawed gem.
Queria gostar muito mais dele, mas ele trai muito a construção de mundo do primeiro jogo e de certa maneira a própria filosofia de design da Piranha Bytes. É um jogo Piranha Bytes querendo ser Bethesda. Não é de todo ruim, mas muito decepcionante em perspectiva.
My favourite risen game. Story is fun. Pirate theme is really well crafted, progression feels rewarding though combat sucks, lot of witty and well written dialogue.
The game got a lot of hate back then and pretty much everyone thought that Risen 1 was much better. I thought the first one was better too, but this game also had its qualities. The pirate atmosphere came across very well and I thought some of the systems like the treasure hunt and the island system were actually quite cool. Unfortunately, the battle system was quite a step backwards and very monotonous and the story was also rather boring. Music was still pretty good but all in all I understand why the game wasn't liked that much.
Nice story, but a downgrade from the first installment.
It has an intolerably horrible combat system. That's the first thing you need to know before playing this game, everything else becomes a chore, overshadowed by the mediocrity of the combat. Combat also It wasn't good in the first game, but somehow you can at least overcome it or get used to it as you continue. The irrelevant change of theme in the story in the sequel compared to the first game has taken away all the interestingness of Risen. In conclusion, there is really no reason to play this game.
