Sacred 3 - PS3 Review
Sacred is a game that comes with a lot of history behind it. I had originally picked up Scared off a shelf at a now very long defunct computer store that we used to have which carried the obscure games as if they were the norm. I liked the way Sacred looked, and to this day I do not regret it what-so-ever. I bought Sacred 2 when it came out, hell I bought it again not only on the PS3, but also as a Gold Edition on Steam for the Expansion content. Needless to say, I’ve always loved the series with the Dark Elf/Vampiress as my favorite characters of the first, followed by the Seraphim and High Elf in the second. Sadly when Ascaron announced that it was closing its doors I figured that we would never get another chance to play a new Sacred until Deep Silver came along and produced Sacred 3.
Sacred 3 - PC Review
Some of the worst lines that anyone can start a conversation with is "I am not sure how to say this..." or "We need to talk." Fortunately this conversation will not be starting off with the latter, the former though? We will have to see, but first, a little background. When the original Sacred came out 10 years (2004-ish) or so ago, it was well after Diablo II: Lords of Destruction came out and was just different enough from the Icewind Dale/Baldur's Gate games that Sacred was filling a niche that in all honesty, had to be filled. The original did a fair job of giving us the action and RPG elements that we wanted in lieu of a Diablo sequel (that would not come for another ten years after). While not a clone, Sacred gave us plenty of dungeon-crawling goodness while offering up a little bit of humor.
