The Sacred Acorn

The Sacred Acorn is a unique experience with not much out there that’s similar. I really wished I had enjoyed it more but due to the issues with combat and a lack of direction, I probably wouldn’t have given this as much of a chance if I hadn’t been reviewing it. Do keep in mind that it’s not the sort of game I would normally play and it is still a good game. I would like an option to make it a bit easier as I am getting old and am not as good with my reflexes as I used to be. I have heard that the game will be receiving patches in the next few months to address some of the feedback players have given them, so I look forward to trying again when that drops.

The Sacred Acorn does a lot of things right, an enjoyable hand-drawn world and some fun ideas within its squirrel-led adventure, but the fun is lost between a sea of familiarity and an ocean of awkwardness, leading to an okay journey that needed that extra spark to truly shine.
