7/10

Good game adaptation of the works of H. P. Lovecraft

(The Sinking City) For what its worth actually delivers a great game, when you think about the budget of this game which limited there ability to go all out. It also has its faults too, though only because of the limited resources that Frogwares had to work wit, which resulted in many bugs, glitches and some few clearly copy pasted spots on the map with some of these places not actually contributing that much to the game, which to me looks like them not being able to finish it all on this low budget and that saddens me, because this game clearly has so much potential.

But all in all, the story where really good, the abilities of our playable detective character felt really much like what you had in the Sherlock holms games of the same company Frogware and the npc´s had some funny dialogue.

(7/10) Fun little horror game clocking in at 25 hours or so for 100% completion.

I Definitely recommend giving it a try if you have a ps5 for the optimal experience.
