![]() ![]() Like the visions haunting Charles Reed, I’ll be seeing this one in my nightmares for quite some time. Everyone else will be left wondering how so much could go so wrong in what really is an excellent idea for a game. The half-submerged city of Oakmont is gripped by supernatural forces. Lovecraft and other noir inspired titles that have come before it like L.A. Summary: The Sinking City is an adventure and investigation game set in an open world inspired by the universe of H.P. While The Sinking City at times is a successful homage to the work of H.P. ![]() I understand the lack of hand-holding when examining clues and evidence, but the fact of the matter is the game is so terrible in nearly every other aspect, that I wanted my hand to be held to get through it quicker! The Sinking City is the type of game that will appeal only to the most hardcore of H.P. Mixed or average reviews based on 208 Ratings. The Sinking City on Nintendo Switch is extremely rough around the edges. I also found the plot to be reasonably interesting right from the get-go, making those early hours spent learning the mechanics a little bit less daunting. Twists and turns keep things interesting, and real-life societal issues being used to tell a sensitive story between two groups of people works well. Battling through terrible gameplay and frustrating technical problems will actually reward the player with a satisfying story. ![]() The strength of The Sinking City is surely its writing and plot. Since Frogwares’ The Sinking City and Cyanide Studios’ Call of Cthulhu demoed at E3 2018, critics have been debating which game would do a better job capturing the feel of H.P. Instead of feeling excited to make Charles stronger, I mostly spent the game frustrated that I didn’t have more inspiring skills to look forward to. They just added to the overall frustration. The skills are, for the most part, bland and uninspired and completely uninteresting. Over three different paths, the player has quite a few options on how they’d like to make their version of Charles stronger, but I didn’t think any of them particularly stood out or intrigued me. ![]() I would even see enemies walk into the water, killing themselves and offering me the slightest bit of reprieve.įinding evidence and killing enemies will reward the player with experience points that can be spent on Charles’ skill tree. Also, thanks to some incessantly dumb A.I., getting by enemies never proved too challenging as it is usually a viable option to run past anything you encounter. Landing a shot isn’t satisfying, as enemies barely react unless they’ve been defeated. There’s also a complete lack of impact in the gun-play itself. Your cross-hair either moves too slow, or too fast, making accurate shooting tremendously tricky. The problem is that the shooting mechanics are stiff, yet overly sensitive. It makes you feel like every shot truly counts. I love the fact that it has PS5 upgrades along with DualSense support, and in general it looks like it has a really compelling atmosphere. Im a huge Lovecraft fan and Ive been eyeing this game for a while. Ammo is extremely scarce, which I do think works for a game like this. The Sinking City Deluxe Edition is currently 35 off on the PlayStation Store, and I was wondering if I should get it. When you aren’t trying to piece together clues to figure out your next step, you’ll be engaging in some of the worst combat mechanics I’ve personally ever experienced.
