We Love It's Guide to…

Risen 2: Dark Waters

Several years after titans ravage the world, sea creatures bring seafaring to a halt. Playing as an Inquisition agent, you investigate how to stop them, following rumors that pirates on the southern islands know a solution. Travel by boat between themed islands, take on quests, and explore settlements, jungles, caves, and other locations. Meet pirates and island factions, search for treasure, and make decisions that can open different paths and features. Develop your character by improving skills and learning new abilities. Face enemies with melee weapons or firearms, and use voodoo abilities; your approach to challenges can also draw on skills such as persuasion and lockpicking.

As an Inquisition agent, cross pirate islands, build your skills, and seek a way to stop monsters halting sea travel.
