Critic Reviews for Sacred 2 Remaster
Sacred 2 was the sort of action-RPG you turned to once you'd exhausted better, more focused options in the genre. 17 years later, a decent remaster can't mask what's a largely plodding and miserable experience.
The idea of making a Sacred 2 Remaster wasn't wrong, but the final result is an anachronistic product, a ghost in a market now dominated by giants like Diablo 4 and Path of Exile 2, which fails to justify its cost and, above all, our time

A revamped take on an action RPG classic that's a bit glitchy on PS5
There's some fun to be had with Sacred 2 Remaster, but on the whole it's a disappointing update of a classic RPG. Newcomers will find many aspects of it bewildering, using skills with a controller is overly fiddly and, worst of all, multiplayer isn't an option on consoles. Much more should have been done to bring this classic up to date.
If you’re going to play and enjoy this, it’s because you get hooked on that simple, basic gameplay loop. And if you do… well, welcome to dozens upon dozens of hours of it. If you’ve never played Sacred 2 before, but enjoy Diablo-likes or Eurojank like Risen, Gothic or ELEX, then there’s every chance you’ll find this one amusing (and in the right way).
Though there is not much remastering, Sacred 2 Remaster stays faithful to the original release. Despite being somewhat dated and lacking multiplayer on consoles, there is still fun to be had in this sprawling action RPG.
