What is universally annoying is the shear amount of junk loot that you have to sift through. That’s more a matter of personal taste though. It’s more or less your standard sword and sorcery kind of vibe, but with this really strange sci-fi undertone that may turn some people off.
First is the setting, which can be just downright weird at times. While Sacred 2 gets a good amount of the formula right, there are some nagging things that begin to irritate over time and rudely intrude into the realm of fun. The game world is very large and there are a ton of quests to do, so it’s easy to sink a whole lot of time if this kind of game floats your boat. The game really shines when you kick it in four-player online co-op with a nice group of different character types all doing their thing. The character classes range from the pretty standard spell-slinging High Elf to the robotic Temple Guardian who looks like he got lost on his way to a Sci-Fi convention, but all function pretty well with a mixture of strengths and weaknesses. You get your character going, you pick the powers you want to focus on, some of which succeed in having a nice bit of synergy, and you go off to kick some ass. Everyone knows how the game is supposed to feel, and individual gameplay wrinkles aside everyone knows how everything is supposed to function. When following such a tried and true formula as the Diablo-clone, it’s important to execute properly. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, if it’s done well. It’s one of those games, where the quest for more progress is paramount, and improving your character isn’t just a means to an end but rather is the real goal of the whole operation.
You gain levels and find better gear so you can kill stronger monsters, so you can level up and find better gear, so you can…yeah, you know the drill. You pick a character class from six archetypes and commence mass extermination of enemies. …Diablo’s less attractive, less charming cousin.
