Dystopian London is a setting that's nothing new in the video game world. However, we haven't seen anything quite like Sunday Gold before. This point-and-click adventure game takes the theme to new plateaus. It incorporates a rich narrative paired with a flurry of captivating gameplay mechanics that will bring reel players quickly into its world. We might have a winner before we've even played the complete title.
The upcoming title is posed for release soon. And we've been treated to gameplay in the form of a prologue. That's already given us a taste for Sunday Gold and significantly raised our excitement for the complete game. So let's make a prelude analysis of why this game is getting us excited for its near-future release.
Sunday Bloody Sunday
The grim visuals of backwater London never fail to set a dystopian scene, and neither do they become tiresome. That's probably why the developers have chosen this locale to tell their dark story of justice in a world of corruption, misery, and violence. You'll get in the shoes of one of a group of criminal operatives, each with their skills, to fight back against a billionaire oppressor.
The visuals provide a unique, graphic novel-like style that tells the story in a more thrilling, captivating fashion. However, it's the overall gameplay driving player interest throughout the game. Where one thinks of point-and-click as a few hours of exploration, puzzle-solving, and slow trains of thought - Sunday Gold prefers to inject a more intense experience.
The gameplay will involve urgent puzzle-solving, effective inventory management, turn-based combat, and stressful dialogue choices. The whole notion of the dystopian setting comes to life in this flurry of genre mechanics that seamlessly combine to create one hellishly intense experience. There are no doubt players will get immersed in the story very quickly.
Sunday Gold already feels like a point-and-click adventure that will break some boundaries. It's already winning some accolades, and we're only in the prologue stages. We look forward to completing the story and diving further into the world that's already impressing legions of players.
Covered in Gold
There's a lot to love already in Sunday Gold, and we can't imagine there'd be any reason for the game to take a pitfall in the full release. It's got the dystopian intensity of Deathloop with the gritty point-and-click style of Full Throttle. But let's not forget that gameplay does a fantastic job of creating a unique experience.
It's too early to tell how Sunday Gold will be evaluated in its entirety. But we have reason to believe that the game will be one of the year's more intriguing titles. The immersive story paired with the varied gameplay will bring that entertainment factor so many gamers have been craving amongst the flurry of remarkably average releases.
