Robert Hill-Williams for Mash Those Buttons:

"The unevenness present through difference aspects of Risen 2 left me with a bittersweet feeling. The game is a definite improvement over the original Risen, but it isn’t on par with the great action RPGs that have come out recently. The pirate life is good, but with its nettlesome problems, an uninspired final boss, and a boring ending Risen 2 comes out to be a pretty average game. I enjoyed the game for what it was, but the series can do better than average, and for 50 dollars (60 on console) so can gamers."

Andy Merrill for VGRevolution:

"Overall, despite the slow pacing I had fun playing as a dirty thieving pirate. The combat mixes swords, guns and dirty tricks pretty nicely. Your sword is your main weapon but you can throw items or use guns as well. Guns do require ammo to use, but I found a good amount lying around to steal. You can also craft your own weapons if you put enough points in that category and have someone train you how to do so. If you ever wanted to be a pirate, then you’ll find Risen 2 really enjoyable."

David Hollingworth for AtomicMPC feels that:

"Risen 2 is very much a game we want to like, but it doesn’t quite want to meet us half way. The setting is interesting, the addition of blackpowder weapons is awesome, and it has some great environments to explore. Certainly, as you progress, the sense of the game being more of a chore than actual entertainment disappears, but it’s hard to push through. If you’re looking for instant satisfaction, this may not be your thing, but if you want a game that’s going to reward a certain stubborn persistence, Risen 2 might just be the perfect game for you."
