It's literally too big for its own good

Man, this game is huge... HUGE. I did an escort mission that took around 15 minutes, but felt like an hour. The map is no joke, it's huge, and full of content. It looks beautiful and it has good controls for that time period. Really, sacred did something so impressive for the time period, but I think the gameplay is not aging well, as it does get very grindy, very repetitive, and very boring. It's a great time waster as there is just so damn much to do, and if that's what you're looking for then I would fully recommend this game, as it will keep you occupied, probably, for over a hundred hours.

Huge world, but no reason to explore.

This game starts very fun but gets boring very quickly. I did finish it, but after ~25% completion I just kept sprinting to the next main objective. One thing this game does very well is the audiovisuals. It has a memorable soundtrack and it looks nice and colorful. The variety of environments do add to the overal colorfulness. Many other games of this genre tend to go for the gloomy gothic look. But this one is your typical fantasy with green meadows, icy mountains, volcanoes, swamps and deserts. And I like it this way. The other very strong point of this game are complex character classes. There's 8 of them and each has a variety of abilities which make room for lots of different playstyles even within each class. The Wood Elf has multiple ways of dealing with enemies with her bow, but maybe you prefer to turn her into a nimble melee fighter? Or she can use magic too. Heal, summon, poison, root enemies in place. All the classes are really fun. Unfortunately, here's where the positives end, since this game is a pile of all bad design decisions this genre has to offer. Here's a list: -spammable consumables, especially health potions; -enemies drop way more stuff than your inventory space allows. Combine with the previous point, since the consumables take inventory space too and don't even stack. -all skills are unlockable very, VERY early in the game, making character progression uninteresting. Basically by levelling up you only increase passive stats. -enemies level up with you, so you don't even feel these stats increase; -enemies respawn, and they do respawn fast. So doesn't matter which area of the world you're exploring, it's the same wall of respawning enemies of the same level. -unreadable map -a very common bug puts a marker for your next main story objective in the wrong place. You're going to waste an hour, then check online to learn where to go. The story is uninteresting, but I don't play such games for the story anyway. Only for genre enthusiasts.

Klassiker, leider nur Englisch

Leider nur auf Englisch bei GOG verfügbar. Mit den alten CDs konnte ich die Sprachdateien drüber kopieren. Schade, dass GOG verfügbare Sprachen nicht direkt mit anbietet.

Couldn't finish act 2...

First of all, sorry to give a review of a unfinished game but it was too annoying for me... Story of my life : this game was the third I bought on GOG, back in 2009, at a time when I was looking for similar games to Titan Quest (which I really liked), what remains 7 years later ? In fact sacred sums up what can go wrong with the hack'n'slash genre : it can become boring REALLY fast, especially if you don't have a good story of master the art of storytelling like Blizzard (their screenplays are not original but they know how to create a universe and hook the player in it). Here, you have various classes with different beginnings, which is an excellent idea...But it stops there. Once you have finished the tutorial, you'll find yourself dragged into...something ? Because despite its interesting world, you absolutely don't care (to remain polite) of what happens, you quickly become a zombie wandering from point A to point B, hacking mobs in search of a quest. This wouldn't havbe been a problem if the game was short (10 maybe 15 hours)... Another flaw lies in the loot : too much. Too much weapons, too much armors...Moreover you pick up pieces that are not for your class so your inventory quickly becomes a real mess (fun fact : by selling all my useless sh*t, I had more 100.000 coins around the end of act 2, so why should I care to save the world ? I was a gladiator, almost a slave and now I have enough money to buy a pretty house on the coast, so solve your problems by yourself ) To be fair there is a interesting mechanic : you can use amulets or rings on your weapon to enhance them at the blacksmith, but again the informations on the effects are too scarse to really understand what it does...Or even cares about it. Too bad, because with a more classical RPG approach (with real or turn based combats) Sacred could have been an interesting game...

Seaching for a Diablo clone?

Are you? If so, just go back and play Diablo. Picked this up on a deep discount at GOG and likely overplayed for that. The only reason I can see to play this game is nostalgia if you enjoyed the punishment the first time around. Certain games you would play because its legendary and you missed it somehow the first time around. Others just because they were fun as a kid. This is definitely only for the folks that would choose option 2.
