Sacred 2 Gold

I see all the terrible reviews and shake my head. This game plays great, love the graphics, they hold up very well. I didn't look for it to change my life but as a hack and slash fantasy looter it plays very well. The world is very large and has varied environments. The sound and music are top notch. I used to hold stock in reviews but that is getting harder and harder. You casn pick this game up for next to nothing. Give it a shot and decide for yourself!

For me using an intel i5 and nvidia 950 gfx card, Sacred 2 gold works with Windows 10.

I must have sunk hundreds of hours into this game since it came out. It is not a perfect game but it was labeled a European Diablo II clone by the games media and unfairly written off. It definitely has similar gameplay, but the vibe is strictly tongue-in-cheek rather than grim demonic horror. Personally, I like this game much more than any Diablo game (which I've also played a lot) for a few reasons: 1. Open World. The world is huge and absolutely packed with different enemies, bosses, quests (600ish) and dungeons. It gives me that Elder Scrolls feeling, where there is a lot to see and explore but no real depth. The lack of depth may be a problem for some, but this game does not pretend to be a true RPG. 2. Content. Even now I find things hidden away in this game that I never saw before, like a unique boss monster or a subtle pop-culture reference. Like Diablo, loot acquisition is a major draw, with many armor sets and unique items. I particularly like the "Survival Bonus" feature, which acts as an incentive to avoid death: the longer you go without dying the greater the chance special items will drop and the harder the enemies become. 3. Graphics. Even today, when I load up this game I find the graphic very appealing. It is an isometric game like the Diablos, but the figures on screen are fairly large and detailed, and you can zoom in reasonably far to see characters up close. It is not so much the quality of the graphics as the atmospheric design. 4. Replayability. The game does not change, but there are six different characters you can play and each one has quite a large variety of builds because there are way more skills and abilities than you can learn on one character. Overall, this is one of my favorite games of all time and I never really understood the average reviews it got. It is fast paced, pretty hardcore if you want it to be, very engaging and it really scratches the open world exploration itch.

Do you like randomly running around a massive open world doing endless quests with all sorts of humor and different possible outcomes to a lot of them, killing endless monsters, growing endlessly more powerful, and watching a Blind Guardian concert?

When I first played Sacred Underworld, I pretty much had a hard time getting back into Diablo 2. Then I ended up finding out about Sacred 2 Gold, picked it up and started to play... wow. I've never been so addicted to a game in my life that it's become one of my top favorite games along with Sacred Underworld. Sacred 2 is so open and doesn't have a lot of boundaries. You can go almost anywhere at anytime. Character developing is also a plus and has a huge variety of choices. With the CM patch a lot gets fixed in the game. I prefer to play with the Enhanced Edition mod found online, but it's not needed at all to enjoy this game.
