  • Writing is interesting
  • Intense sense of dread
  • An imagaintive location that feels new
  • Thoughtful detective puzzles that don't hold your hand
  • Incredible atmosphere that really unnerves
  • The Sinking City is a dark Lovecraftian detective tale. You must solve the many crimes

The editors didn't like

  • Dull
  • Monotonous gameplay loop

  • Lifeless combat
  • Getting around Oakmont is boring
  • Combat is boring
  • The cases are also boring
  • Actually the whole game is peppered with lots of boring bits
  • Combat is a bit flat
  • Racism is a bit much
  • Traversing the city can become tiresome
  • The combat is slow and feels underpowered
  • The clues are cryptic and lead you to guess your answers

  • Innsmouth folket, Cthulhu
  • Tomt, Innehållslöst, Den öppna världen, Stelt, Inte läskigt alls
  • I sin helhet är The Sinking City en besvikelse och ett misslyckande för att få dig som spelare engagerad i H. P. Lovecrafts värld där jag förväntar mig en vis typ skräckinjagad känsla som aldrig infinner sig tråkigt nog. Bristen av polering hjälper inte ett spel som..

  • Bra ledtrådshantering, godkänd berättelse, spelet håller dig inte i handen
  • En hög med tekniska brister, meningslösa pussel, tråkiga strider, märkliga buggar, korta och innehållslösa mellansekvenser, snöpligt slut

  • Stor karta att utforska, Detektivarbete i dina egna händer, Intressant story och sidouppdrag som kommer ge en många timmar i spelet, Väldigt bra menyer som är lättanvänt när man behöver kolla upp något, Fantastiskt intressant värld att få kliva i
  • Frustrerande när man ej vet vart man ska, Vapnen kunde ha varit lite bättre, Musiken är lite meh

  • Abstract:  The Sinking City tar avstamp i H.P. Lovecrafts mytologi om kosmiska urväsen i havets djup: ett detektivspel med inslag av skräck, som utspelar sig i 1920-talets USA. Detektivdelen anammas fullt ut, men jag kommer på mig själv med att önska mig mindre hård...

  • Inspired by H.P Lovecraft's works, The visuals create a great atmospheric feel, Worthy effort
  • You will fight against the controls as much as against the in-game monsters, The music is uninspiring and boring, The voice acting destroys the fun of having a dialogue
  • H.P Lovecraft's universe is exciting and The Sinking City is one of those who should be presented as a video game or movie. Frogware has done a worthy effort to create Lovecraft's vision visually, but the gameplay mechanics and the fight against the contr...

  • Universet til å H. P. Lovecraft er unektelig spennende, men det å lage spill av det er ingen enkel oppgave. Med The Sinking City har utvikler Frogwares gjort et hederlig forsøk, men til tross for en brukbar historie er det litt for mye å plukke på her.Tan...

  • Spillet er fint. Der fanger H.P. Lovecraft universet godt. Spillets halter derimod på udtryk i forhold til roller og skuespil. Det er livsløst og vanilje agtigt. Spillet har dog sine tidspunkter, hvor hjertet banker lidt og hvor man skal bruge sine små gr...

  • Abstract:  Specjalizujące się w detektywistycznych grach o Sherlocku Holmesie, studio Frogwares odważnie zmienia stylistykę. Mimo, że wciąż mamy do czynienia z detektywistyczną grą trzecioosobową, to postać najpopularniejszego detektywa zostaje porzucona, wraz z res...
