Spooky Investigation in a Dark Atmospheric World
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Interesting concept, a little TOO complex though
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm a very old school gamer who grew up on Atari 2600 and NES so I am not as concerned with graphics as I am with story and gameplay. The story is interesting, and the gameplay itself is a bit clunky but ok. The only part I don't enjoy is the time, effort, and complexity of having to solve the puzzles. Sometimes I just want to explore and leave the detective work to Batman. So far I'm enjoying it overall, definitely out there though.

Amazing Game
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Played for 2 hours
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far the game is very interesting, but so far it is clunky. There are annoying glitches that I have ran into. On of them being that my character would suddenly freeze or get trapped in between two invisible objects. The game doesn’t run as well as I thought it would on the Xbox one X.
