Sacred 3
If you've been going to the same Italian restaurant for years and enjoy eating funghi there, you're bound to be surprised when at some point they say: 'Sorry, we don't have funghi any more. We no longer have pizza in general, nobody wants to eat it anyway. But we can offer you a really great salad! And the salad turns out to be not so great.

Sacred 2: Fallen Angel
To understand my fascination with this game, you have to go back in time: For me, there was no internet, no oversupply of games. My only way of getting information from the world of video games was through video game magazines such as GameStar - we even had a subscription. Of course, the best way to play games together was via couch co-op or LAN parties. So any game that you could play together was a highlight.

Borderlands
Als ich vor gut viereinhalb Jahren die Review zu Borderlands 2 schrieb, da tat ich dies zum einen, weil der Soundtrack stellenweise ganz gut gefetzt hat und ich euch etwas bieten wollte (das tue ich heute übrigens immer noch, nur anders). Hauptsächlich war meine Motivation jedoch, dass ich ein Spiel benötigte, dass mit dem Buchstaben B beginnt. Eine b-scheuerte Entscheidung, die sich bei Spielen wie Neverwinter Nights 2 und The Walking Dead: Season 3 - A New Frontier wiederholen sollte.

Sacred
Sacred dates back to 2004 and is therefore officially old - which doesn't bode well for me, as I was born in 1992. But unlike many other games from that time, even back then Sacred had already looked out of date and the years really haven't done the German Diablo clone any good visually. Ironically, I would still prefer to play the progenitor again today instead of the successors, of which the third game in particular should only have a few fans. However, if you want good hack-and-slay, you're better off with other series and probably even better with the genre primus Diablo.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Wieder einmal eine Review der Kategorie "Nicht gespielt". Tatsächlich kenne ich Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning auch nur, weil wir es in einer Ausgabe unseres Gaming-Formats „WohnGameinschaft“ gefeatured hatten – für alle, die sich für das Spiel interessieren, verlinke ich die Folge unten. Deshalb kann ich leider nichts zum Gameplay oder gar zur Story sagen, sondern beschränke mich auf die Musik von Grant Kirkhope.
