  • Monotonous gameplay loop

  • Getting around Oakmont is boring
  • Combat is boring
  • The cases are also boring
  • Actually the whole game is peppered with lots of boring bits

  • Ambientazioni e atmosfere lovecraftiane eccellenti, Meccaniche investigative e narrazione ben riuscite, Audio buono
  • Meccaniche di combattimento ed esplorazione non funzionanti, Motore grafico obsoleto, Characters inespressivi e ripetuti
  • A questo si aggiungono le meccaniche di ricostruzione degli eventi, che grazie alle doti eccezionali ed alle visioni del protagonista, sono visualizzate come veri e propri viaggi immaginari che ripercorrono i fatti, oppure come tracce semivisibili da segu...

  • Storia interessante, Buon sistema investigativo
  • Fin troppo simile ad altre produzioni investigative e/o lovecraftiane
  • Con The Sinking City, Frogwares ha dimostrato di arrancare fuori dalla sua zona di comfort, pur mostrando coraggio ed intraprendenza. L'opera resta interessante per tutti gli amanti degli investigativi e per chi ha già giocato, con piacere, titoli simili...

  Published: 2019-06-27, Author: Martina , review by: tomshw.it

  • atmosfera ispirata alle opere di Lovecraft, fasi investigative centrali e ben funzionali, meccanica della follia ben integrata,
  • sistema di combattimento abbozzato, performance altalenante
  • Nel Thriller investigativo The Sinking City è la città stessa di Oakmont a farsi enigma. Le sue strade e i suoi corsi d'acqua, che hanno invaso e inghiottito la naturalezza della vita quotidiana, diventano i punti di riferimento di ogni investigazione per...

  • Abstract:  Nel corso del tempo la letteratura è andata incontro a drastici mutamenti. Quella gotica ad esempio nacque e iniziò a diffondersi nel diciottesimo secolo: la sua prima apparizione fu in Gran Bretagna, come segno di ribellione al periodo Neoclassico che no...

  • Abstract:  Depois da adaptação de Call of Cthulhu, lançada em 2018, regressamos ao mundo e à mitologia de H.P. Lovecraft com um jogo de ação e investigação que é um passo em frente e três atrás. The Sinking City oferece muito para descobrirmos, dentro e fora da jog...

  • Abstract:  Игра протестирована на PC Студия Frogwares не впервые обращается за вдохновением к творчеству Говарда Ф. Лавкрафта. Еще в 2008 году она столкнула на экране гениального Шерлока Холмса с культом Ктулху, позднее помогла с выпуском Magrunner: Dark Pulse, а за...

  • Интересные задания, лавкрафтовская атмосфера, новые механики при расследовании преступлений
  • слабая стрельба, безжизненный город
  • Адвенчура от Frogwares - это знак качества, несмотря на то, что не все механики в The Sinking City работают как следовало бы...

  • Stämningen, Miljöerna, Skådespelet, Detektivarbetet
  • Artificiella intelligensen, Livlös stad, Styltig action
  • The Sinking City är det senaste detektiväventyret från skaparna bakom Sherlock Holmes-spelen. Det gestaltar H.P. Lovecrafts mytologi på ett härligt äckligt sätt och väver samman spänning och detektivarbete med skräck och galenskap. Men det hålls tillbaka...

  • Abstract:  Det är dags att ta på sig detektivhatten och vi får ta oss an en värld som är ny för många men vart brister Sinking City där mycket fokus ligger i spelets mekaniker.Förra året släpptes Call of Cthulu som jag hade sett fram emot enormt och hade hoppats...

  • Extremt välgjort, med sjukt snygga miljöer, Intressant huvudhistoria, med massor av lika intressanta sidohistorier, Stämningsfullt och suverän musik samt surround-effekter
  • I sin iver att göra ett rikt spel har spelskaparna glömt att kapa ned dialogen på sina ställen, så det blir tidvis extremt pratigt, - Att inte hålla spelaren i handen och visa vart man ska gå är både till för och nackdel. Bra idé, men funktionen borde fi
  • The Sinking City är ett snyggt och stämningsfullt H.P. Lovecraft-inspirerat skräckspel. Den amerikanske författaren H.P. Lovecraft föddes 1890 och under sin korta livstid på endast 46 år så skapade han en helt egen subgenre av skräck. Hans böcker Necronom...
