A fantastically unique world that always uncovers new details, Learns from Forgwares' previous titles to create a fantastic P.I game, Doesn't give you quest markers
Combat is a weak point with guns feeling more like toys, Enemy AI is poor
Impressive effort with a few noticeable problems holding it back. Won't astound everyone, but is worth your time and cash.How we score: The Destructoid reviews guide...

Traversing the city can become tiresome, The combat is slow and feels underpowered, The clues are cryptic and lead you to guess your answers,

Abstract: Video games have enthusiastically mined the oeuvre of gothic author HP Lovecraft, but The Sinking City might just be the most Lovecraftian game yet. Based on two of his stories – Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and his Family, and The Shadow Over...
Great atmosphere, Writing is interesting, Intense sense of dread
Getting around Oakmont is boring, Combat is boring, The cases are also boring, Actually the whole game is peppered with lots of boring bits
The Sinking City is a near-miss, and a unique foray into surivival horror. It doesn't coddle you, and it certainly doesn't do any hand-holding, which makes it a unique detective outing let down in its execution by a number of tiny flaws. A sequel that foc...
