Many quests are still buggy, some of them can be resolved usually by reloading a save game but others are more messy, especially one quest I personally just failed (Hunting Fever 1) which was to kill 31 specific monsters within 10 minutes, normally that would be easy enough if there was actually enough of those monsters to kill in that time limit! I found 11..smh

    In a nut shell, Sacred 2 could have been a really awesome ARPG, I personally think it could have been one of the very best if it wasn't rushed to market. There are many positive aspects, but the bugs, pathing issues and camera issues can really cause serious problems and that is the reason why it didn't score higher, its a shame really because even by todays standards - I still think its better than Diablo 3 and thats saying something.

    ARPG fans can pick up this game for practically nothing these days, and if anyone has free time to burn then honestly, I'd still recommend giving this a play through, there is a massive gameworld to explore - literally 10x larger than all the Diablo series combined, granted that size and the amount of side quests added to the amount of bugs in the end but still, the games main quest lines are usually bug free at least...usually.

    + Large open world
    + tons of items and customization

    - Very buggy
    - Possible to lose progress due to crashes
    - Pathing problems
    - Poor camera angles
    - Dead Multiplayer (can be played with 3rd party programs)    … Expand

If you think this is a fair price for a game please read on to find out why i disagree, but to sum it up: even selling an incomplete product at a discount is bound to make your customers angry. As other reviews mention, it crashes to desktop quite often and it will not let you log into your online account for hours on end sometimes without even give you an error message. Moreover, every patch will retroactively "balance" skills and items in a VERY DRAMATIC way (like cutting your damage or armour in HALF) and the game does not have ANY respec option, therefore it will screw up your build and leave you angry and frustrated, without any prior notice. There are several other signs of a half assed job: skill description of VERY IMPORTANT SKILLS were completely wrong for months and were not even corrected in the first half gig patch. (Example: something like an aura that lets you cast spell much faster is described as letting you cast spells MUCH SLOWER making it less attractive). Another sign: dangerously generic skill descriptions like "WILL drastically INCREASE this or that" without clarifying what "drastically" means, but when you decide to risk and get that skill you find out its really a minor change. Again no respec option so again you are screwed. In ascaron fantasy world, something that increase your skill 10% is a DRAMATIC INCREASE but curiously something that destroys your characted build and items due to retroactive changes is not even worth a word of warning or a respec. The quests are a lot but are either fetch quests or kill tasks, and even those have a bunch of problems including but not limited to: - the map will not update to show you where to go next on your quest leaving you guessing - one online boss could be bugged and become impossible to kill therefore blocking your progress in the story line I could go on and on for hours about all the problems of this game, but i rather cut this short. It is a zero because it is an unfinished buggy product STILL AFTER 2 PATCHES.… Expand

    If you're a Diablo clone fan, this is a must play. A bit different than the first, but with the same wide-open game world to fool around in. As of May 2009, almost all bugs have been eliminated, so if you were frustrated by earlier play, or were warned off by reviewers, give it another try.

    I notice all the bad reviews are 3 years old. Having only recently bought Sacred 2, I can only assume the bugs have been fixed as it plays flawlessly. It's a HUGE game with so much to do. I was looking for a top down, Diablo style game with tons of loot, beautiful graphics, interesting locations, skill trees and classes. I'm loving this game and recommend it to anyone who is looking for the same.

Great sense of humor. Fewer amount of skills and spells than other action RPG games, but really intuitive and it gives you a healthy diversity of play styles for each class. Most of the fun comes from exploring on your own and doing side quests which can get tedious. Main quests aren't bad either. The camera, however, is atrocious. The angle is such that you can't see very far ahead of you, making playing ranged characters especially frustrating. Thankfully, the minimap is well detailed and easy to read which helps alleviate this problem. Hugely addicting, pick up the gold edition if you have Steam.… Expand

The Devs have been hard at work and have fixed hundreds of bugs and already better balanced the game and fixed exploits within 60 days of the products retail release. The latest v2.34 Patch is great. Even so, that patch was delivered initially with problems - so what. The devs fixed the majority of the problems within 72 hours of releasing the patch. Other game companies seem to not give a flying care about things like that - quickly, recently in this industry. While some would rather that criticize this games minor flaws and drone on and on about it's frustrating initial problems, here's the bottom line: The Developers genuinely desire to make things right by their fans/customers and so far, in 60 days after release they have done that. If you LOVE Action-RPG's like the Diablo and Titans Quest series and you can handle a moderately deep, yet simple and powerful character development system you will really enjoy Sacred 2. It plays differently than the above listed ARPGs I mentioned and it does it wonderfully if you take a few extra moments to read and follow the in-game tutorial hints. The tooltip instructions are pretty good in the game too. There is a reason why this game got "Best International Game of the year" in Europe. Try the demo. If you like it, you will like the game. If you want the English version of the game, purchase the International English Collectors edition (UK collectors - Deep Silver) - its not much more than the regular english edition and works in all international english speaking countries like the USA and Canada and the UK. Do you like mounts in ARPG's? Sacred 2 has them, and unique ones at that. Plus you can fight on your mount in combat. How about humor? Sacred 2 has a lot of that too. Some might even complain that Sacred 2 uses SecuROM - well yes it does. What others don't investigate is that the version that they use allows you to have it installed and not have the DVD in the drive. They even inform you of this on the box on the European editions. It was the US distro-houses that tend to hide that fact. You can even have it installed on two PC's with the same installation key and play on your own home network and not have to buy two copies of the game - legally. The exception to that is that if both people on both PCs with the same key want to play multiplayer-online at the same time, they cannot. Multiplayer online only - requires a key for each PC/account. If you uninstall the game, this version of SecuROM releases your key back to the master servers. Not a big deal compared to more aggressive versions. If you have problems with your key or activations its pretty easy to solve via a simple email or telephone call. Ascaron has done a pretty good job of balancing DRM and customer service issues, imo. Try the demo, read the reviews, buy the English UK editions for the best-sourced-distribution if interested. I live in the USA and have both versions, UK and USA. I like the UK distro best (Deep Silver), they gave more to the fans for almost the same price as the US versions and more specifics and better explanations of the game. If you love ARPGs you will love Sacred 2, just do your research before you buy.… Expand

    I own over 300 games, this is probably the least fun. It's not a challenge, they are all fetch quests, and that's all you need to know. Music is repetitive, graphics boring, AND THE CAMERA - who in the hell decided to move the cam all the time with your player angle? COMBAT IS BORING.. I'm NEVER worried about dying and never have to use more than shoot my damn arrow.. Hate this game.. hate it.

    This is horrible. I mean, okay, it was released in 2008, but did the developers re-released it again in 2012 without even adding Big Picture support even if they already had everything set up from the console versions? How lazy is that? And they even have the courage to actually sell a 2008 game that's not only poorly done but doesn't even try to bring something new or fun for 20€? I honestly can't see why they would release the same exact game after 4 years as a "Gold Edition" just to add one DLC.

    Also, no multiplayer on a game meant and advertised to be better in co-op, and since these incompetents didn't make it Big Picture compatible you can't play co-op locally with two controllers.

    Bonus: The game has no achievements despite having Trophies and Achievements on both Ps3 and Xbox and also has no picture for the store, and i looks like crap on my profile. (http://puu.sh/3SvH4.png).

    This is so bad I don't have words to describe it. If you bought this game at full price you should be ashamed of yourself for supporting people that just want to steal money from you. At least I know the money I spent was used for charity.

    I'd give the original Sacred a 6-7 for the time it was released, the gold edition is much, much worse.    … Expand

It doesn't help that the save system is archaic; you're forced to exit to the main menu when you save, and the game doesn't even bother to auto-save AT ALL. That means that unless you're saving and exiting every few minutes, the chances of losing all the progress you've made are pretty good.

    The one other thing to consider is the speed with which they are patching the game: So far Ascaron and Deep Silver are showing a lot of interest in supporting the game, which will only ensure that the game gets even better.

    Of course, there are a few minor problems with the game. The 3D camera can be annoying on occasion, as it's exact angle is not controllable. Game options cannot be altered in-game, the player must exit to the menu before making any graphic tweaks. But overall, the minor problems are just that... minor.

    The game although it feels a little "dated" is a great throw back to dungeon crawlers. The truth about reviewing this game is if you like the dungeon crawler genre, exploring, getting new gear, killing hordes of enemies. Then you'll probably like it. If not, you'll post like Kevin G.

This is really too bad, because the game itself is not that bad in the rare moments you're not cursing it out for making you slog through the same places you've already gone to because your last manual save was 30 minutes ago (for a game this buggy, not having auto-save is doubly damning). When the game is not busy crashing to the desktop, you'll get a diablo-style hackfest that is not altogether original or inspired, but it will at least satiate your need for the action 'RPG' du jour until something better comes along. Unless you're extremely desperate for a mediocre diablo clone, buy a game that actually works.… Expand

    One of the most captivating fantasy worlds you can find in RPG genre. If you can get over a little bit slower opening you’ll be rewarded by hours of adventures. Surprisingly good sense of humor for a German game! [Oct 2008]

    Sacred 2 will probably stay in the shadow of "Diablo III", but still manages to be a pretty good game. The huge enviroment will gift you many hours of gameplay and the traditional style of playing works more than fine. This being said, Sacred 2 offers few new features but in the end the balanced gameplay and varied mission structure will be worth you while.

    Sacred 2 is a game that makes it really hard to write an article about. On the one hand, many aspects of the game have been successfully and outstandingly realized, on the other hand, there exist a lot of minor things that leave a bad impression.
