- There simply are not enough ways to say, "Do not buy this game". It is not worth its price tag and the dollars spent to hours of enjoyment is missing in every conceivable way. Perhaps there is a tiny niche of players who will enjoy it for a time before moving on but, as yet, they haven't materialized.
Suzie Ford · Aug 21, 2014 Reviewed on PC, PS3, X360Read full review - Despite a few quibbles, Sacred 3’s action flows freely (even if the treasure doesn’t). If you're a fan of the previous, more Diablo-like entries in the Sacred series you might be disappointed with some of this sequel’s retooling. But if you're hungry for a game to play alongside a few friends, one where you can relax, laugh, and bust some bad guys, and don’t mind a bit of repetition without much loot to show for it, Sacred 3 makes for a passable, if flawed, meal.
Alex Langley · Aug 14, 2014 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Unfortunately Sacred 3 was enough of a turn-off that I couldn’t bring myself to play past the second chapter, and I’m very glad I didn’t. If you’ve really got money to blow, I think the game can be a nice diversion for a day off from work, but otherwise, you’re better off playing Diablo on the console.
Mary-Anne Lee · Aug 13, 2014 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Frankly, I’m not sure what the developers were thinking with Sacred 3. The gameplay, of course, screams Diablo III or Torchlight clone, but those games actually provided worlds you could really explore and discover. Also, people really enjoy them. I definitely had fonder memories playing each of them than Sacred 3, and they’re not even in a genre I usually play. That should really say enough.
Gil Almogi · Aug 13, 2014 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Sacred 3's primary primary flaw is that it's so easy to forget. It contains too little of what you look for in an action-first RPG, and distances itself it so far from its two predecessors that there is no meaningful connection left between the games besides the name and the setting. And that, as you can see from this example, doesn't mean much.
Brett Todd · Aug 12, 2014 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Linear levels, repetitive enemies, meaningless progression, and insulting voice acting add up to a dreary mechanical exercise
Michael Huber · Aug 11, 2014 Reviewed on PC - In the end, I don’t think Sacred 3 knew what its own genre was. If it was self-aware that this was nothing more than a hack and slash dungeon crawler, it could have gone the extra mile and given it a refreshing arcade feel, like Dragon’s Crown did. However, Sacred 3 thinks it’s a serious ARPG, and as a serious ARPG it simply falls up short.
Angelo M. D'Argenio · Aug 11, 2014 Reviewed on PC, PS3, X360Read full review - There's nothing wrong with being a hack and slash game, and there's nothing wrong with stripping back RPG elements - both of these things are acceptable even to us RPG fans - but Sacred 3 is ultimately just a bit basic. It's inoffensive and solidly average - but it doesn't stand out from the crowd either.
Alex Donaldson · Aug 11, 2014 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Sacred went from a varied Diablo clone to a Gauntlet clone, but doesn’t live up to either. While it may be a good hack-and-slash appetizer to tide gamers over, it never manages to distinguish itself in the genre. Sacred 3‘s repetitiveness and extra levels are signs of laziness in game development, and that’s hard to overlook as a player. But what’s not there is even more telling – anything new to write home about.
James Kozanitis · Aug 07, 2014 Reviewed on PCRead full review - As it stands, Sacred 3 feels distinctly average. The game works well enough at what it presents and is largely annoyance-free (though the checkpointing system could be better and I had a save-game issue where my progress wasn't saved from one session to another) but there's better and more rewarding games out there right now that you should seek out first.
