Great game !

Thank you for the free remaster. I love this game and played it 3 times. Everything about it, the story, the characters, the graphics, the length (it is huge) ....... One of the best games of its kind out there.

Dated Graphics, Absolute Gem.

2007 graphics, animation and gameplay. And bloody beautiful at that. A city sinking into despair and the sea with lovecraftian horror and sly humour. This is a fantastic detective game where you follow one plot line to the next. About 10 hours in i am finding the gameplay getting a tad stale, find a clue with an address, find the address on the map, go to location, shoot some monsters, find another address, rince and repeat, albeit with the occasional stop to the police station or city hall to 'go through the archives'. None of that, either the graphics or gameplay really matter. The characters are engaging, the music is hauntingly superb and the city itself is like very litttle i have ever experienced in a game before. I keep finding little things here or there that just put a smile on my face when i discover them such as a big button I am repeatedly told not to push or sly wit in the many conversations. Unusually i find myself actually bothering to read everything, trying to get more of the fantastic lore and work out what is going on. I feel like my choices in the main quest matter and i am eagerly awating every next turn. In conclusion, look past the dated graphics and repetive gameplay loop and there is an absolute gem of a game here, really well written (so far), lots of humour and a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack. Really looking forward to see what comes next.

Awesome but excessive

Around 45 hours have passed since I pressed "Play" for the first time and now The Sinking City is completed. If you love detectives you will probably like the game, if you love detectives and Lovecraftian horror you will probably love it. But there is a catch... Pros: - The city. Oakmont feels gorgeous, the overall abnormality of everything feels omnipresent, you cannot escape it but only to dive deep into it. - Main quests and some of the side quests. They are really interesting to follow, you never know what secrets you may uncover. - Detective system. Here you check every detail on a crime scene, you use your special powers to see more then you connect those details in your head. Boy, it feels very satisfying. Cons: - Open world. The city looks incredible but if you take a closer look you will notice that nothing happens... anywhere. The city feels like a empty shell. And it's big. And since you have to navigate it A LOT, it turns into going from one fast travel point to another. - Bullets as money. I love how it sounds but the game doesn't use this feature whatsoever. No trade happens anywhere, you find all you need when looting chests so this feature is unused. - Craft system is too unrestricted. By the end of the main quest you will have 6 guns, you can craft bullets and medkits on the go, even during the fight, so it basically means that you are almost invincible. You can survive 99.9% of fights which, to my mind, doesn't work well with the concept of Lovecraftian horror. - Some side quests. They are boring af, "read a note but kill monsters first" style. Repeat around 20 times. Conclusion: The Sinking City feels awesome and brings true joy with its uneasy atmosphere of overall madness, fascinating city, great detective system and captivating quests. Unfortunately, later the city turns out to be big but empty, some quests are very boring and fights bring no fun. You will enjoy the game for 10-20 hours but generally avoid staying in Oakmont for longer.

Great game -- but some caveats

I agree with other reviews -- there's a lot to love about this game...if you can live with the clunky stuff. The mechanics are very similar to Sherlock Holmes Chapter One. It has the same 'Mind Palace' detection mechanic as SH Chapter One. And you'll visit various places, such as police, hospital, and newspaper achives to research clues. Just like SH Chapter One, the 'open world' element is hit and miss. To begin with, it's not simple to get around and there's not much hand-holding. It does get easier as you get used to it and unlock fast travel points. The combat is marginally better than Chapter One, but not by much. Combat does serve a real purpose here, but it's hard to understand why it's so badly done given that it's a Unreal engine game. If the shooting/melee had been even half decent it could have massively elevated this game. So why 4 stars? Well, it's a good, detailed story, with some difficult choices. It's hugely atmospheric. The main characters and NPCs are interesting and and the voice acting is terrific. Despite the flaws, I couldn't wait to get back playing it. Like most Frogware games, it has its own unique feel, which is very different from many bland AAA experiences. I hope they make a Sinking City 2 one day, with much improved combat. That would be a 5 star game.

Few steps from perfection

Really interesting take on Lovecraftian mythos. The exploration of the city is absolutely amazing and investigation system is interesting. The only things I would say are wrong with the game is that the stealth system is so not working it is better to ignore it and the creature roster is too small to allow for proper dificulty sloping with time. Also it feels like the game is missing a chapter, not from story point of view bu there are systems and parts of town that are unused. I would recomend for anyone.
