Used to play this one a long time ago and got the sudden urge to replay it.
I have a real soft spot for that fantasy genre that includes elven woman in skimpy clothing. And the game visuals are still surprisingly nice.
The hack'n'slash gameplay isn't super exciting here, unfortunately. And there is way too much backtracking for my tastes. Lost my urge to replay it.
Sacred 1 was way better than this.

I hope the remakes capture the noir detective story atmosphere as well as the original. The game holds up quite well thanks to the great design overall. Its a perfect showcase how to tell a straightforward story. No fucking retarded audio logs all the time or codex entries of random npcs everywhere.

Older games and high refresh rate monitors, a match made in heaven:
*Older 3D games
I bought a 144hz monitor last year which is also the time I began to explore DOS games. Finding anything that supports such a high refresh rate and does not break game physics is quite the undertaking. Oh well at least I got Doom.

The original (non-source-port) version of Doom has a frame rate limit of 35.

But is playing older games which don't have their speed tied to CPU cycles a problem on those high-refresh-rate monitors?

As a proud owner of a 240 Hz display I always check PCGamingWiki before starting something new, it usually has correct into on whether games will behave at high frame rates (and potential workarounds).

Most of these problems are fixed by either forcing vsync through your GPU control panel or limiting the FPS, which is exactly how I solved the problem in W2:

For being a rail shooter I had a hell of a good time. Played it using PS3 emulation with a PS4 controller. If interested, I have written a review here.
