Sable's Grimoire 2

Sable's Grimoire 2 Recommended Length: Long (30+ hours) Number of Routes: 2 major branches with 5 routes (maybe more in the future) Length of Avg. Route: 4 Hours Choices: Yes Failure Possible: No Character Rating: Very Good Story Progression: Very Good Music Rating: contains a few of the first story tracks, the new tracks are good Achievement Difficulty: 1 Additional Thoughts: A good follow-up to the first Sable's Grimoire, it does well to match the story telling of the original novel and expands on the world building the first novel started. Choices tend to be more dialogue based but the ones that direct the story into the routes are pretty clear. The dialogue based choices will still influence other certain minor dialogue the characters will say to Sable as a result of a choice. But if you did end up liking Sable's Grimoire (and the expansions to that story) then you might also enjoy this one as well. I am still interested in future expansions to this story and reading more of these.

the characters

Not quite as long as the first game. The writing is very good and easy to follow. There is no difficulty getting on the route you want - the choices are pretty obvious. I enjoyed it for the most part but there were times where it got a bit boring. Unlike the first game this one has zero romance. Some of the girls practically throw themselves at Sable but he's just like "nope" - it's actually pretty frustrating at times and you feel kind of bad for them - especially Koko. Strangely enough, due to the above, the route I enjoyed the most was Sable's own route where he pursues a career with runic tools. The Narm route was also pretty enjoyable. (The romance with Lisha and Drakan from the first game are continued in their own games that will be continued again in 2027/2028 and I very much look forward to them) 8/10

It was nice to get back to this series. This entry is good. I recommend it.

Solid all around

Pretty good.
