    Spooky Investigation in a Dark Atmospheric World

    Great game, there are some bugs though. I haven't gotten around to beating the game, but now that it's close to Halloween I plan on picking back up. It's an open world game, and the world has a lot of dark atmosphere. Solving Mysteries in this Lovecraftian world is where this game shines. The combat is so-so but doesn't come up too often. Also, one important note is this game DOES NOT hold your hand.. so it's up to you to navigate places and listen to clues to know where to go and how to solve.

    Phenomenal Game

    The Sinking City is better than the recent Call of Cthulhu. While that game was enjoyable, its level design could be suffocating apart from a few levels. The Sinking City, however, is an immersive open world that doesn't lead you from point A to point B. You will need to read the quests & then use the map to find location. Th environments are incredibly immersive, the characters are well-voiced, the detective work enjoyable, and the combat serviceable. The Sinking City feels like the Call of Cthulhu game the people behind Bioshock would make. If you enjoy unique games that drown you in atmosphere, this game won't disappoint.

    Amazing Game

    This is truly a great game to play, even though the control is a bit slow, the core concept of the game such as the storyline and the amount of content you can do in the world is amazing, It is a beautiful well made open world mystery game.

    Sinking City Review...it's flawed perfection

    If you're reading this, I'm guessing you know it's a Lovecraftian horror mystery, but if you didn't...now you do. It's much like LA Noire or Sherlock Holmes but with less annoying protagonists and an amazing background/world go explore. As of the first patch...it's jankey, buggy, runs like Windows 95...but it's so charming it's easy to overlook it's flaws to find a truly unique little future cult classic in the making!

    Not bad.

    Game story to good, but mechanics and long load times diminish the experience. Graphic quality os decent, but not amazing.
