Gamer Limit gives it a 7.5/10:
All in all there were times that this game became a chore to play through, but there were enough cool moments, and awesome weapons to keep me plodding forward. The fact that you can play through every quest, and do everything with a team of four via an online network changes just about all of the boredom that I have mentioned. Don't try to play this game alone all of the time, or you might give up.
If you enjoy the grind, questing, and playing with friends then Sacred 2: Fallen Angel is the game for you.
Thunderbolt goes with a 7/10:
At its core, Sacred 2 is not a console game. Nonetheless, [sadly departed] developers Ascaron have brought this in-depth and overwhelming game to PS3 with a high degree of success, albeit sporting a lack of polish, an awkward interface and a few PC quirks which sit a little oddly on the console. It may not be an everyman game, but it sits in a genre cruelly under-represented outside of PCs, and is very good at what it does.
And XboxGameZone brings no score to the table:
Overall, Sacred 2 is quite an enjoyable game, but it is an extremely difficult one to review, a cop out sentence I know. It is quite clearly a very marmite-ish game (another clichéd, cop out sentence I know). I enjoyed it eventually after traversing the daunting learning curve, but I can see how others wouldn't bother. For those of you who like an RPG with a strong storyline and a relatively linear tale to tell, this game is really not for you. It will most likely just bore you into submission. However for those of you who have either once upon a time been hooked by Diablo or World of Warcraft, or who like building up stats and spending hours upon hours doing the same thing repetitively; you will love this. That makes it sound like I think this game is boring, which really isn't the case. But I do think it's a very acquired taste, but if it's to your taste you will absolutely love it and it will be the best games purchase you've made in years. So if even a tiny bit of this review sounds appealing to you, I implore you to go give it a shot. You might not see daylight for quite a while but I'm sure it will be worth it for you.
