I don't care what people say about the mechanics. Yeah, it's annoying sometimes, but it's actually a really good game worth checking out if you like Lovecraftian horror.

The Sinking City is a fevered plunge into a nightmare city, drenched in noir and interesting kind of horror. Not fear, exactly—more like revulsion, a deep-seated unease at the sheer wrongness of things. The city is damp, swollen, festering. The kind of place where the walls sweat and something with too many limbs might be waiting just around the corner. It's Lovecraft way of body horror: mold, mucus, slick organic growths spreading over brick and flesh alike. The game channels The Shadow over Innsmouth and At the Mountains of Madness , with its grotesque hybrid creatures straight out of The Call of Cthulhu . For my wife, the fish-headed monstrosities were a dealbreaker, too unnerving to continue. For me, however, the grotesque hybrids and other zootropic NPCs were a plus — the essence of Lovecraftian terror, the kind that disturbs without ever fully revealing itself. I’m not a huge fan of the writer himself, but I do appreciate his cultural influence. The gameplay, though, is a little bit mess. Combat is clumsy, and the open-world mechanics feel shallow, leaving the city more like a forgotten diorama than a living place. The story hits familiar detective beats, but lacks the depth of its Lovecraftian inspirations. It’s a game that struggles to live up to its potential but still offers a raw, unsettling atmosphere that will haunt the right kind of player — if they’re willing to endure its flaws.

Pretty good lovecraft game, atmosphere is great, the lovecraftian weirdness is on point, here and there a little janky and lacks some polish but nothing you can't get over if you want some crazy outer gods stuff

This game has been kicking around on my bucket list for a few years, now. It looked really interesting, but I was in the middle of other games at the time and it slipped my mind. Now that SC2 has been announced it's high time that I get the kick in the ass, that I deserve, for not playing it yet. :P Anyway... I really enjoyed game. I've always wanted an open world lovecraftian game. Also having guns in the game felt appropriate since there's monsters in it. Oh noes :O, monsters what ever should I do? Run around, screaming in circles? No, shoot the bastards already! The solving of mysteries to get places was a fun angle too. Being the only one to know something feels kinda special, in an already mysterious world. I also like how sometimes the only answer in the whole city is a tiny piece of text found in a books at a library or found in an archive. As they say: the devil is in the detail. As far as the story and atmosphere goes, they too were satisfying. It's your basic lovecraftianism at its best. You have a gloomy end of the world, that is yet still intriguing and only YOU can change things but always at a sacrifice. The graphics are a bit dated, but who cares. The lovecraftian themes still look cool. I've seen worse. I can't wait for the next game now.

This one is tough. There is so much to like here, but also many glaring issues. Pros: - Awesome artstyle - Very good graphics - Decent writing - Detective mechanic works well and is interesting - Sound design is very good Cons: - Combat is a clunky mess - Limited weapon / enemy variety - Towns feel dead due to lack of NPC interactions, can't order a drink at the bar let alone talk to random NPCs on the streets - room at the inn is a missed opportunity for a "home base" - Every single ending is underwhelming, lacks a boss fight of any kind. - The game is quite long, longer than it needs to be As mentioned previously, this is a hard one to judge. Overall, I liked the game due to the interesting detective angle as well as awesome art style and graphics despite some major complaints. I'd wait to get this game on a steep sale.
