DISCLAIMER: This is a first impressions review, and NOT a full review Sacred Gold is a game developed by Studio II and published by THQ Nordic The game offers some nice graphics and a nice aesthetic, although some ugly glitches here and there, it is pleasant all the same The game does suffer with some repetitiveness at certain areas of the game but a fun game nonetheless Sacred Gold overall, however, is a fun game...
