The Sinking City 2
What critics said
NookGaming70The Sinking City 2 is a solid survival horror and a great way to lead into the spooky season of gaming. What it lacks in identity it makes up for in providing a genuinely tense and challenging game, lovingly wrapped in the blanket of H.P. Lovecraft. It provides a tight narrative and gameplay experience, but loses some of the stronger investigative mechanics from the original game in exchange.
Console-Tribe75The Sinking City 2 boldly rebuilds its identity but remains uneven. The shift to action‑survival horror may divide fans, yet Frogwares’ drive to reinvent is clear. Arkham is oppressive and magnetic; rigid inventory and enemy‑heavy sections slow things down. Still, Cal and Faye’s journey holds emotional weight and ends coherently. More than a sequel, it’s a resilient, imperfect but worthwhile experience.
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.
