Game concept outweighs poor game engine!

Why 5 stars? In my opinion, the Sacred series have still got the most motivating skill & attack mechanics of all Hack-n-Slash RPG available at the moment. Although you might occur some serious issues with the graphic engine (e.g. Physx, stutter) or unfixed bugs (getting stuck by using combos) you easily become addicted to the encouraging loot, the easter eggs (graves, concert, etc.), the atmosphere on your journey through Ancaria (think about the leaves with Physx!) Suggestion: Install Wardust's textures & music files + SweetFX preset (serious light & effects) the enemy feedback (animations seem tedious, but the voice feedback of some creeps is just gorgeous, at least for the German version!) Just remember: Ascaron didn't have time to implement more features or fix additional bugs before its bankruptcy. Therefore, I can recommend using the recent Community Patch. You can also easily turn off some of the annoying features, as the repeating remarks of your avatar or the battle music and tune the config of the game as you wish. What I find most unfortunate is, that the quest descriptions aren't read out, whereby one just tends to skip the whole and follow the marks on the map. After the big disappointment of Sacred 3, everyone should reconsider their own RPG needs. Diablo III or Sacred 2? The decision depends on your attitude. Blizzard's games have lost all their complexity nowadays and don't look particularly better then Sacred 2 does. If you prefer punchy combats over complexity you might better go with Diablo 3.

Worse than Sacred

Very "Eh" experience. The world is nice, but mostly generic. The main quest is very forgettable to the point that I didn't even know what I was fighting for. Some side quests and questlines were fine, but there were way too many "collect x things" with no further point. The worst part about the game is how flawed it is from a technical standpoint. Quest markers were sometimes completely broken, followers would idle around while getting killed and character movement would randomly get blocked, forcing you to pivot the camera to find a spot to click with the cursor. If you haven't already, get the original instead.

Jeu qui veut ralonger le plaisir ...

J'avais de très bon souvenir de ce jeu étant plus jeune. Alors à un moment, je me suis dit, il faudrait peut-être que je le finisse ... Et là, c'est la déception ! La raison pour laquelle, j'avais bien aimé ce jeu plus jeune est que je jouais constemment le début (1er chapitre) avec différents héros pour les essayer tous ... Mais lorsque on veut continuer ... Je m'explique : imaginez jouer un jeu où la progression est correcte lors du 1er chapitre jusqu'à la moitié du 2nd, alors qu'il y a une dizaine de chapitres, et après vu que le jeu est encore long et qu'on augmente trop vite, l'expérience est bridée ... c'est à dire qu'on gagne de l'expérience à une vitesse ridicule et qu'on avance juste pour tuer du méchant, sans aucune progression, histoire très découpée et quasi inexistante car les points d'objectifs sont très espacés (c'est simple, on finit la moitié des quête lors du 2nd chapitre alors qu'il y en a une dizaine !) Donc, en conclusion, ce jeu est bien si vous vous arrêter au 2ème ou au 3ème (maximum) chapitre car après, c'est l'ennui total (ça commence déjà avant ...). Je le dis clairement, si ce jeu avait été beaucoup plus court, il aurait été bien meilleur, car il le rallonge artificiellement pour ensuite te brider au niveau de ta progression (et le pire, c'est qu'on ramasse des potions pour gagner plus d'expérience ... c'est pour être brider encore plus tôt ! ou bien, je n'ai pas bien compris ...)

Didn't enjoy it

I was a great fan of Sacred, the exploration of the world was very pleasant. Here the camera either follow you in a weird way making the exploration confusing and uncomfortable, or is shut down, but the exploration, navigation is still confusing. Why so many trees everywhere blocking the view, why is the camera on top of your avatar, you can't see a damn thing unless it's stepping on your toes. Lots of game to try, i ll not waste more time with this one :/ Sad to see that what made sacred great was not present here (the map of sacred was one of the best i've ever seen, guess what, yop, not present here).

Loads and loads of wasted potential.

I was a huge fan of original Sacred 9yes, we exist), so the hype for Sacred 2 was huge. When it came out though, it was a gigantic disappointment. Pros: 1) Gigantic world 2) Great character designs 3) Awesome skill and skill mechanics (on paper) 4) Beautiful picture 5) Class mounts Cons: 1) World is empty and pointless - there is nothing to do here. 2) Character design is all that is good about them - they are severely unbalanced, and chars like Inquisitor or Temple Guardian are borderline unplayable. 3) Same goes for skills - tons of skills are just useless or to week to make any difference, some specs are completely unviable. 4) Again, world is HUGE, non-linear, filled with unique locations, dungeons, unexpected and unusual side-quests... and it's all POINTLESS. You get NOTHING from exploring it - no loot, no plot bonuses, no perks (sans class mount, but it's a single exception and basically embedded into story mode), NO MOTIVATION AT ALL. It kills the game. 5) Add-on was simply unplayable on release, of 5 copies 4 would not work at all. It was fixed later, but it brought nothing good - unlike Sacred: Underworld, both new locations and a single new hero were just plain stupid. 6) It's a prequel, but it as well be another game - there is 99% nothing that calls forward to original Sacred (sans Seraphim) and one location from the addon. 7) Story is extremely weak, and you completely lose the point of this whole location jumping very soon. Character strories could have improved it a lot, but they did not. Bosses fail. Probably some of the aforementioned has been polished since, but I still not feeling like paying anything for this game. Maybe when some uber sale lowers it to something like 2$ I'll do it out of boredom. P.S. I have a suspicion, that Blizzard took A LOT from Sacred 2 for Diablo 3. Skill runes, level scaling, ton of difficulty levels, and A LOT of the same problems. Why did they choose such a failed product as an inspiration I can not comprehend.
