  1. Sacred made me forget how disappointed I have been with many RPG’s over the last few years, was wonderful to play, and provided many hours RPG paradise.
  2. Sacred sets out to be little more than you’re typical hack and slash feast but with gorgeous graphics and a storyline/sound effects to match, but why shouldn’t we all devour it anyway?
  3. It’s a massive, massive game that never gets boring and one that’s so easy to get into and so good-looking that anyone wanting good old fashioned RPG action would be stupid to even consider purchasing anything else.
  4. A unique skill system, intriguing characters, and seemingly endless exploration await anyone willing to stay up to the wee hour playing this addictive title. I have played it obsessively since loading it, and I am just getting started.
  5. The sheer amount of content alone and the general high quality feel of the game is enough to make this a must have for most RPG fans. If it wasn't for the bugs and the glitches, this is an easy 90+ game.

    It's a diablo-style game that introduces a few original gameplay concepts. It's only fault is lack of game balance (i.e. you are far superior in power than any enemy you will ever encounter) causing the game unchallenging and repetitive. Nice touches are horses and spells with a recharge time rather than mana (features that should really be introduced in all future RPG). My verdict: around 60% Full Review »
  3. It seems like a decent enough game, except the devs didn't think to include the ability to change screen resolutions. So I'm stuck playing this game on a widescreen monitor at some abysmally low resolution with huge black borders everywhere (even on the top and bottom). Also, for some idiotic reason the whole game looks squashed horizontally, which is stupid considering the big black borders :P everytime i try and start playing the game, I get pissed off at how everything looks so squashed and i give up. Maybe sometime in the future i'll give it another go. but for now it deserves a 2. Full Review »
