The story in "The Myth Seekers 2: The Sunken City" is described as a mix of enjoyable and forgettable elements, with some players finding it cute and immersive while others consider it generic and lacking depth. The main narrative, which revolves around a myth seeker exploring an underwater city, is relatively short and often overshadowed by a more engaging bonus story featuring a child and his pet ferret. Overall, while the game offers polished visuals and gameplay, the story does not leave a lasting impression for many players.
