Sacred 2: Fallen Angel garnered a loyal following on the PC for good reason. This action RPG balances exploration and narrative with the strange enjoyment that comes from loot collection and level grinding. You'll explore light and dark paths across six classes that have you traversing with pals (two-player local and four-player online co-op) across the vast land of Ancaria. The central game takes a back seat to a typical repetitive quest structure (fetch this, kill that), but vast character customization in both loot and stat improvement, as well as the thrill of exploring new areas, keeps things fresh. This despite gorgeous visuals that suffer from pop-in, stilted animation and various glitches, and audio that lacks pizzazz. The artificial intelligence, too, feels broken in some combat instances. Play at your own pace and forgive the technical quirks, though, and you'll appreciate this game for what it is.
