Exceptional investigation mechanics
The editors didn't like
Cluttered
Ungainly menus and systems
An inordinate number of gameplay mechanics
Not one of them interesting
Properly integrated
Or well-developed
Oversized open world with a drab aesthetic that captures none of the lurking menace of Lovecraft
Poor
Slow travel
Poor combat
Legwork becomes a chore
Sense of mystery and fear is lacking
Absolutely riddled with technical problems that can't be blamed on Cthulhu
Sometimes not entirely clear what you're supposed to be doing
There are only so many conversations with dead eyed NPCs I can take
Too many reused assets
Too much dull gunplay
City feels empty
Combat is a weak point with guns feeling more like toys
Abstract: The Sinking City is Frogwares' latest, and it's the team behind The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes series - a series that's been running since 2002 - most ambitious title to date. It tries to apply the dev's brand of detective gameplay to a sprawling open w...
Rough edges run through The Sinking City - both the city and the game itself - but in the case of the latter it's mostly down to over-ambition.There are a multitude of systems and ideas stitched together here and most of them aren't quite done justice, ra...
An imagaintive location that feels new, Thoughtful detective puzzles that don't hold your hand, Incredible atmosphere that really unnerves,
Combat is a bit flat, Racism is a bit much,
Reviewed on PCThe Sinking City has an incredible atmosphere that really grips the darkest parts of your mind. Oakmont feels hostile, unwelcoming and full of secrets, but the game makes it clear that it might cost more than just your life to find out wha...

The Sinking City's creation of a new Lovecraftian vision paired with compelling stories, exciting environments, and memorable characters make for one of the better Cthulhu lore games I've played. Its commitment to tastefully updating the storytelling meth...
He hecho un esfuerzo muy activo en disfrutar y sobre todo en maquillar los problemas de «The Sinking City». Durante toda mi partida he intentado convertir la IA pobre y los edificios repetidos en características jugables fruto de la capacidad sensorial al...

La forma de dejarnos investigar, una delicia si nos gusta la temática, Una nueva forma de introducirnos en los mitos de Cthulhu, La ciudad de Oakmont y todos sus habitantes, tienen vida propia, La banda sonora en especial y el sonido en general
El sistema de combate no funciona todo lo que debería, Problemas en la IA y algún que otro bug gráfico
Los mitos de Cthulhu están de moda últimamente en el mundo de los videojuegos, y es algo que nos llena de alegría porque sus juegos están demostrando estar a la altura. Este título de Frogwares nos ha metido de lleno en la piel de un investigador privado...
