Bard’s Gold Review – Hey Poor Player

I think we are at the point where retro-inspired video games are being released faster than the thousands of opinion pieces commenting about the abundance of retro-inspired video games. In all honesty, they are all starting to blend together with the exception of a handful of real gems (Shovel Knight, Undertale). Does Bard’s Gold cross the threshold and become one of those memorable retroesqe games that somehow finds a way to give gamers that old-school feel? Does it blend just the right amount of difficulty and much needed charm? Well, yes and no.
