The Sinking City Remastered

i want charles reed to talk me through it

Everyone says it, but the visual atmosphere is wonderful. That's the end of the good things I have to say. They gave up halfway through on the rest of the atmosphere, and the payoff for it is minimal. Terrible endings. Terrible, terrible endings that elaborate on nothing and last all but 30 seconds at most. 10 at the least. Everything from getting in and out of your boat to the constant repetition of the same like 8 hallucinations every time you get freaked out, which is a lot and for very strange reasons considering what doesn't freak Reed out. The combat is super awkward, with intense auto-aim enabled by default, and unfortunately being the best way to play. The 'puzzles' for supernatural detective work are braindead easy, often just following the obvious direction taken. The world is not explorable, as in there is nothing but bullets and medkits to find outside of following and looking for quests, and there aren't many quests all in all. The morality and causality are both very bizarre to the point of having to question the viewpoint of the writers. Finally, this could be an 8-10 hour game doing all quests, but you spend 80% of the game moving pretty slowly, without anything but constant fights with the same 4 enemies to break it up. This is a time sink, and not a satisfying one. Mr Throgmorton is the only character worth experiencing. The yellow sign makes the mystery almost entirely go away, as it implies this is a big ploy of Hastur, who only wants to eat things and cause destruction. There are practically no likeable characters, and until one of the dlc was added, the KKK was the only active party doing anything to stop cult-adjacent activity, which really puts a bad taste in my mouth. If the Sinking City 2 is open world, actually open world, it might be worth it. They might even actually show some large monstrosities that do something in that one.

Дуже обожнюю Лавкрафта, та у цій грі досконало передали суть та настрій автора і його творчості, мені сподобалась гра. Хоча як на мене мінус гри те що гемплей пу суті одноманітний. Типу з квесту до квеста одні і ті самі дії проводишь і одні і ті самі локації, НІП дерев'яні будинки та їх середовище теж схожі один на одного, в цьому гра не дуже жива, сподіваюсь у другій частині це виправили, але сюжет цікавий, на цьому гра перемагає мене як фана Лавкрафта

The atmosphere is really cool, but honestly the gameplay feels like an absolute slog. I don't plan on finishing this one.

Як я міг пропустити цю гру!

good game

설정이 재미있고 배경이 멋집니다. 조작과 진행 방식이 매우매우 불편하긴 하지만, 주어진 정보를 가지고 스스로 추리하고 게임 환경과 상호작용하는 것이 핵심으로 느껴져서, 오히려 편의기능이 잘 되어 있었다면 재미가 반감되었을 것 같습니다. 그리고 이건 좀 이상하긴한데 영어공부가 돼요. 등장인물들이 굉장히 모범적인 단어를 사용하고 듣기 편한 톤으로 말해서 표현 배우기가 좋습니다ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
