The story is solid, the acting is surprisingly good, the detective part of the game is intriguing, and the combat gets the job done. After a long and strange journey The Sinking City is back on an Xbox console and ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn.

The Sinking City on PS5 may be considered the definitive edition of the game. While we did enjoy seeing this world come to life on our next-generation console, it still left the same aftertaste as during our initial encounters. The game is interesting in its lore, its overall detective gameplay, but becomes bland and stale because you’re running around all the time and just have clunky combat mechanics.
