The Sinking City 2
What critics said
Nexus Hub85The Sinking City 2 is a compact, well-designed sequel that learns the right lessons from the best of Resident Evil - building an improved Lovecraftian survival horror experience that's leagues better than its predecessor.
IGN80While a lot of the basic mechanics and moment-to-moment survival horror of The Sinking City 2 feel inescapably like off-brand Resident Evil, it's a praiseworthy imitation of its main inspirations wrapped in the Cthulhu mythos.

The Sinking City 2 ditches the thinky stuff for classic survival horror, but I'm yet to decide if it's truly better for it
There's a bit, early on in The Sinking City 2, where you enter the waterlogged Miskatonic University. As you teeter around toppled shelves and slalom through sodden tomes, a siren begins to blare. It's the last call for survivors hoping to flee the doomed city of Arkham, after which only a few determined souls remain. It feels like a world in the process of transition as we join it, and that's reflective of the series too.

The Sinking City 2 has made big changes in the hopes of capitalizing on the untapped potential left to float in the void in the first game. A better, more interesting protagonist; a revamped and easier to parse investigation system; and better-paced missions might help this eldritch sequel rise above clever curiosity for fans of tentacle-tinged horror and into must-play territory for everyone this time around, so long as it’s not held back by the underwhelming combat and puzzles that nagged the

Frogwares' The Sinking City was rough around the edges, but it shone with a genuine appreciation for its Lovecraftian lore, despite a cosmic horror-style litigation fracas which saw the developer fighting their publisher over control of the game. The Sinking City 2, due to release later this year, is free of these legal travails, though as a game developed by a Ukranian team in the midst of Russia's invasion, real-world politics have once again provided a backdrop for eldritch horror.
