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.

Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1/day in the week to Aug 8 → 0.86/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

I played this a long time ago near its release, but I didnt finished back then because I jumped into it having never played the 1st one and, truth be told I wasn't really enjoying it. I'll probably never play it again but I'll give it a thumbs up because, even though it's not an amazing game, its never afraid to do its own "Piranha Bytes" thing, and that's praiseworthy for itself in a world where everything tends to look similar. I do remember that it was a bit too silly though, like it doesnt take itself too seriously, if that's something you like... that a plus. The pirate theme is cool, but if I remember correctly you wont be doing much "pirate stuff", if that's what you want, a game like Black Flag is a better option. Plays nicely at 60fps on the Deck using Proton compatibility straight out of the box.
На самом деле да! Это шедевр. Кривой, косой, забагованный, но шедевр. Первая часть одна из любимых моих игр и геймплей в сравнении с первой частью меня оттолкнул в детстве. Но пройдя сейчас, я могу уверенно сказать, что эта игра не уступает первой части, а может и превосходит её. Сразу по минусам: Это игра 2012 года, эээ ну она создана из ассетов первой части, моментами даже более мыльная и засвеченная и это критично. Причём визуально есть кадры сочные +-, я даже скриншоты в кат-сценах поделал, но в большей части, визуал на уровне 5-6 годов, это критично и многим оттолкнёт. Ужасно сделанная игра в плане своей работы. У меня не возникло не одной проблемы с первой частью, но тут... Отдельный код на быструю отчистку сохранений, иначе игра умирает, ибо не чистит их сама. Самовольное выставление разрешения выше 2к и вылеты при смене его. Обязательный LAA-патч, чтобы игра использовала вместо 2гб, целых 4гб, после перезапуска ПК, игра может начать выносить мозг, сломаться придётся чинить и вполне возможно после подобного ставить патч по несколько раз. отдельные приколы, чтобы получить возможность alt+tab и не крашится. Краш может и просто так вылететь, после всех мохинаций. Поломка квестовых персонажей и множества проблем и танцев с бубном, чтобы впоследствии решить их. Игра сделана криво, косо м ужасно. Геймплей, после первой части, сильно изменён. Но он раскроется, в нём есть свой вайбик. Сюжет нахуевертили, ♥♥♥♥♥ мой ♥♥♥! Но там сами увидите, будете в замешательстве. ПЛЮСЫ: СЮЖЕТ, ♥♥♥ пускай он странный изначально, но он ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, как и история сама, лор мира расширили. Его нужно прочувствовать и вы зачилитесь, он простой, но пиздатый. ДЖАФАР легенда, одно взаимодействие с ним и его соплеменниками, как расширения лора, это CINEMA!!! Геймплей, не сразу, но прочувствуете, тут как с 1 Ведьмаком, нужно время. Особенность с несколькими островами, интересна. КАРОЧЕ, Я РЕКОМЕНДУЮ!!! НЕ факт, что Вам зайдёт, но игра на распродажах стоит доллар. ДЛС не важны, хотя тут, я тоже просто доверился. 9/10 и это при условии всех минусов и том, что она не является игрой детства, в отличии от первой части.

This is a really good RPG experience still very much worth playing today(2026 as of writing this review) I mainly recommend this because of storyline and pirate atmosphere. Weapon and armor variety is pretty low although skills make it interesting. 7.5/10
very buggy, constantly crashes
I've given Risen 2 more chances than almost any other game. First on physical discs, then on GOG, and now on Steam. The platform was never the problem, the game itself was. For a long time, I kept trying to convince myself that I liked it because I have so much respect for Piranha Bytes. They created some of my favorite RPGs of all time: Gothic 1 and 2, as well as Risen 1 and ELEX to some lesser extent. I wanted to believe that Risen 2 was better than I remembered, but after several attempts, I have to admit that it simply isn't. I've come to accept that even the developers I admire can fail, and they deserve the same honest, unbiased criticism as anyone else. My biggest issue isn't the shift from a generic fantasy setting to a pirate theme. In fact, I think giving each of their franchises its own identity was the right decision. The Gothic series already filled the classic fantasy role. The real problem is that most of the criticism you'll find in other reviews is justified and despite multiple playthrough attempts over the years, my opinion hasn't changed. In the end, there are simply too many better games to spend quality time, rather than forcing myself to enjoy one that never clicks.
давай те скажем так. Это вот вообще уже не те игры из рода готико образных. Это смелый дерзкий экспиремент который можно считать относительно успешным. НО. Первое графика весьма своебразная. Спору нет выглядит красиво. Однако не по готински и не по ризенски. Второе и самое главное .Игра вообще не адаптирована под более менее современные компы. У меня она каждые минут пять крашится зависает сворачивается и тд и тп. И если до острова антигуа еще более менее терпимо... Дальше полный ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Вылет и зависание каждые две минуты. С первым ризеном такой проблемы нету. И с третьим. И С ПЕРВОЙ И ВТОРОЙ ГОТИКОЙ. КАК ТАК?
The game is competant in what it tried to do 14 years ago, but wow has the quality of games improved since then. Most significant are the graphics. Now there are many games that overcome this with special gameplay. This does not do that. However, I give it a positive review because it is not bad. I played over 8 hours before I lost interest. The upgrade skills mechanic is quite strange with no skill tree. The method used requires mostly finding the right trainer in the game world, being at the right level for that particular skill, and have the required gold to pay for it. The skills are relatively expensive. For example, I have the recipe for a combat buff potion and all the necessary ingrediants but I have not find the trainer to teach me. Basically, improving arms, armor, and skills is hit or miss. It crashes once an hour, but it autosaves every 5 minutes, so no big deal. The voice acting is fine, but the conversations are limited. I will not delete it off my machine just yet. Maybe I'll give it another whirl later. 60/100
Somehow worse than Risen 1
fantastic story
Risen 2: Dark Waters хоть и не оптимизирован под новые версии Windows, но старания ради запуска этой игры оправданы на 100%. Я рад, что познакомился с этой серией игр и ничуть не жалею потраченных денег — я покупал по скидке :) Но если бы знал, что получу такие эмоции, играя в это, то купил бы по полной цене.
