The Sinking City 2

I would prefer to give this a mixed rating if that was possible. Visually, the game is striking & I think the overall visual world building is excellent...but that is kinda where it ends. It is clear in its intent to be a resident evil style game, which actually got my attention as the RE2 remake is one of my favourite games. However, where Resident Evil has years of refinement behind it, this is a first attempt for this developer. Whilst it is not outright bad & a good attempt, it is frustrating to the point I don't find it fun to play. The story also just seems flat, almost as if there isn't one. A lot of what is being done feels & ends up being pointless to the overall story. The combat itself is largely okay, but the enemy spam in tight corridors gets very tedious rather than engaging. There is also a balance of ammunition to enemy volume, which makes dodging your best friend...if you wasn't in a tiny corridor with multiple enemies blocking the only way forward. I think some people will like this, but it is a test of nerves & not in the intended horror way. As a first attempt, its quite formidable & I do still have faith in them to create another better game like this if they wanted. I did not play the original, so I have no attachment to whatever it was, but I do here that is also a bit of an issue for some. I will not be finishing this game unfortunately, but I do not fully regret buying it.

Enjoyable! Looking forward to more.

TL;DR They changed combat to be like R.E, removed enjoyable gameplay elements from the first game and the game feels like a poorly made R.E clone made in the lovecraft universe. If I wanted to play R.E I would play that, I wanted to play The Sinking City 2, but instead I got this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Sinking City 2 is a Resident Evil / Silent Hill game that was modded to have the Sinking City lore. Gameplay is like Resident Evil with having to aim at spicific parts of a thing to kill it without having to waste an extra 5 bullets, though the game will still have 2-3 of them attack you at once in a small area forcing you to either waste ammo or take damage. Did you enjoy the detective parts of the first game? (I loved those) those are gone. To me, this is the Masqurade Bloodlines 2 of The Sinking City series. Something that was already successful as it was, changed to be more like other mainline games and in the change, was made worse because its NOT those games, it is it's own game, and it copies from those games poorly. I avoided reviews and videos because I did not want spoilers, I wish I had seen reviews or videos because I would have known to not purchase this game. I honestly do not understand how they could have gone from the first game and then made this and have a splash screen that says they are proud of how the game turned out. Aside from the visuals, this game could have easily just been some resident evil mod because it plays pretty much like resident evil, except every resident evil element in the game is worse than the actual resident evil elements.

So I would like to start off by saying I have been playing survival horror since I was young so I am not new to this genre. First I’d like to start with the good and say the story is really great and I was definitely interested the entire play through. This is coming from someone who didn’t play the first one, and I didn’t feel lost or confused at all. Second, I think the environment is a 9/10. It’s such a good feel, it’s interesting, it’s not like jump scare scary but it’s scary enough where you are on edge sometimes going into a room. Now the bad to me in this game, I really feel like the boss battles in this game are so bad. They made them where there is containers at every boss stage and the containers just spawn over and over to give you resources. The reason I find this annoying is because in most survival horror games, they usually put save room or inventory before the boss battle so you can approach it in a prepared way. It’s rare to get that and it’s annoying. Also, during the boss battles, you can’t really appreciate the boss or focus on the detail because they spawn like 10 side enemies during the fight so it just becomes dodge and shoot type of vibe and I think if they just did you vs the boss it would be so much more of a great rhythm. Last, I think what they did bad at that piggy backs off my last statement is that I swear there are just too many enemies in some rooms. Like I understand survival horror isn’t supposed to be easy and you need to manage your resources, but I feel like in this game there literally is just too many enemies sometimes in rooms/areas and it just doesn’t make sense and gets annoying. I would say, for the price it is good, you can tell the team put care and effort into this and it needs to be recognized and appreciated. If you aren’t into survival horror, get it on sale, if you are into survival horror I’d buy this. I will definitely play again in NG+.

Не маю бажання детально розкладати по полицях враження від гри, тим не менш однозначно можу рекомендувати З плюсів хочу відмітити: левелдизайн, пазли, боївка А з мінусів: прогресія, ну і може остання третина трохи менш відполірована

This is exactly what I wanted to see in a game based on Arkham Horror and adjacent lore. It bears resemblance to the first game while being an entirely different feel and addition to the franchise, I absolutely love it.

damn good survival horror game
