I’ve always heard The Sinking City described as a respectable but flawed survival-horror experience (though practically a must-play if you love H.P. Lovecraft). I never played it, but that’s okay because The Sinking City 2 is a completely standalone story starring a different protagonist, making it a perfect entry point. I’m several hours into the adventure and am generally enjoying its eerie atmosphere and its 1920’s Lovecraftian art direction, even if its Resident Evil-inspired gameplay, while serviceable, is a step or two below the lofty bar set by Capcom’s flagship horror series. I like the game’s emphasis on puzzle-solving and connecting clues to solve investigations, letting me test my noggin in a more detective-like manner. Lovecraft fans will be happy to know this game is appropriately strange, quirky, and often disturbing. If you’ve already played Resident Evil Requiem this year and need to scratch another survival-horror itch, The Sinking City 2 offers, from what I’ve played thus far, a totally solid experience.
