Sunday Gold Reviews
In between silly remarks, turn-based combat and puzzle solving, Sunday Gold provides enough entertainment to keep you going until the end, which is probably around 12-15 hours if you figure out the puzzles and finish the boss fights faster.
Like Guy Ritchie's Snatch, Sunday Gold is criminally underrated for MANY reasons. Outside of its gritty and gruesome portrayals of a dystopian London, it executes a well-blended mix of RPG and point-and-click adventures. The great voice acting, sleek comic-book aesthetic, and grungy music offer players a neat and unique package that's not only worth a try, but worth completing. I can understand that some may not be down for point-and-click gameplay, but please--give it a shot. You won't regret it.
Sunday Gold is a satire of real London through and through, clad in an aesthetic colour pallet. The plot might seem exaggerated—cybernetic animal bloodsports, secret cyborg labs, billionaire vampires gutting an over-industrialized city—however much of the stuff is based on real-world scenarios. If you read the newspapers, emails, notes and magazines in the game, you’ll know what I’m talking about. However, the game still lacks in-depth combat, even becoming tedious at times especially when you can’t catch a break from random encounters while ending your turn. Despite all that, I would totally play a sequel starring these ragtag trio again.
An ambitious blend of genres that winds up a jack of many trades but a master of none, Sunday Gold deserves credit for its aesthetics and goals but it's difficult to recommend this trip to the races.
A pleasant surprise from the first minutes and a representative sample of the studio's good work when things are clear.

Sunday Gold is a fun, if sometimes frustrating, point & click adventure game with a simple turn-based combat system, and an elaborate narrative about bad guys trying to be good guys. It's not Disco Elysium and it doesn't try. Without a doubt, it is a title to take into account, just because of its successful mix.

All in all, Sunday Gold has an interesting premise and gameplay mechanics, but it doesn't come together as well as it could. Some parts of the game were completely engrossing and entertaining, but there are several segments that I did not enjoy. The story and puzzles are fun, but the combat is rather shallow and difficult, which isn't eased by the restrictive AP system and minigames. It's an enjoyable indie with a great idea, but the execution doesn't always match. If you're in the market for something new and point-and-click-adjacent, Sunday Gold is a great pick-up for all of its strengths. If you're hoping for a great RPG like Disco Elysium, you'll want to look elsewhere.
Sunday Gold has a story that is set in an interesting world, but its focus on a singular plot point, while entertaining, makes other content feel disjointed.
Sunday Gold is a pretty decent turned-based action RPG with an acceptable story that carries the player until the end but there is so much lost potential in it as well. The art of Sunday Gold on the other hand fits its world perfectly and we can see the first legacy of Disco Elysium art style in this game. The gameplay of Sunday Gold is pretty straightforward and fun, something we don't see much these days. I wished they made or used better music for the game, but it wouldn't be right to not point out the fantastic job the sound editor of this game did.
Sunday Gold is a short game full of charm and ideas. The game manages to blend the genres in an uncommon way. On the other hand, it avoids achieving excellence by committing a few missteps, both narratively and in terms of gameplay. Without hesitation, it would be interesting to revisit the characters in a sequel. With a little polishing, it could turn into a very good game despite being uneven in its execution.

Sunday Gold is a solid action romp that combines the genres in a thoughtful way, so they don't interfere with each other.

Sunday Gold manages to combine two different genres beautifully and makes you curious about the details of its world and want to see more. Frankly, I can't wait to embark on new adventures with Frank, Sally and Gavin and get to know this world better.
