User Rating: 7 | Sacred PC
I really want to like Sacred. I fell in love with the demo and purchased the game, and had great fun playing it for a week or so. Then the problems started. I downloaded a patch. The patch broke things. Now the game crashes every time I go to a certain area. Hmmm. Firstly - character creation is very cool. You have very different, but all very enticing, character types to choose from. The gladiator, battle mage, dark elf, seraphim, vampiress, and wood elf all have beautiful graphics and their skill sets are all different. The world is very engaging - nice music, breath-taking graphics. The addition of horses is also welcome. The interface is slightly clunky, but it's workable. In fairness - if it weren't for this latest patch-induced bug, I'd have given the game much higher tilt and value - probably bringing the score up to a 7.9. However, in its current state, I just can't bring myself to do it. Final opinion - if you like Diablo, get this game, but wait for the next patch (1.7) Right now you'd just be asking for frustration.
