The Sinking City Remastered

披着一层克苏鲁神话外套的侦探游戏，虽然战斗手感一坨大的，但叙事很好的弥补了这一缺点。无论是悬念环环相扣的情节设计，还是模拟侦探的破案过程，都极大的增强了故事代入感。 可以说制作组是知道如何扬长避短的，毕竟他们就是做福尔摩斯系列起家的，侦探环节可是拿手好戏。 整体来说中规中矩，打折四十多块还不错。

The game whines and lectures every five minutes about bigotry, even though in the time period those views were commonplace, not just limited to Howard (as his detractors would have you think). Just go read the stories again.

A mixed bag that's not for everyone. On one hand, a slow paced atmospheric detective experience with barely any fighting is absolutely what you want to do for an H.P. Lovecraft game. The story and meaningful choices between the lesser of two evils are handled well here. However, the clunky, unintuitive game design takes a long time to get used to and can sometimes make the game feel like a chore. You will often get completely stuck, not because of a tough mystery or puzzle, but because you didn't interact with that unremarkable skid mark at the corner of the room that turns out to not be important anyways. The opening hours were rough, but by the end I realized I was really invested and was enjoying myself. The Sinking City was very interesting but I can see why the sequel is shaping up to be a Resident Evil clone instead, which is probably for the better.

Enjoyable detective game and setting but my god does fast travel fatigue set in fast when you are going to the newspaper office, police station, hospital, city hall and or library every quest. Sure it felt immersive the first couple times but after that they should have really let us do a favour for the archives owners to be able to use the PHONEbooth we are traveling from to just call them and request the information instead. Allowing fast travel from anywhere also wouldn't hurt as you can already save at any time, load the game and be sent to the nearest fast travel point.

Absolutely abysmal experience. I thought i'd love it, seeing as how many mechanics it has really showed themselves to be interesting early on, but every single thing i tried to enjoy got ♥♥♥♥♥♥ over by whatever fever dream the developers designed their system over. Game tells you infestation locations are good for loot? Nope. it's a waste of all your resources, for loot you can get anywhere. Game gives you descriptions of where you need to go for quests? look online and find that they sent you to the COMPLETELY WRONG LOCATION despite you following the in-game details that explicitly told you where to go. How's the sanity mechanic work? well seems to change based on random nonsense, as sometimes monsters set it off, sometimes just being in a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ house sets it off! Waste of money. and waste of my time!

I enjoyed the main gameplay - crossing the city, evading too dangerous situations and becoming able to manage more as you play. There is intrinsically much that is meant to disturb - suicide, psychological horror and just grossness. I wouldn't recommend for people unfamiliar with Lovecraft's writing or the genre. The beginning was not engaging, and really threw a lot of barriers to enjoyment in your way as you learn the weirdness of the location and peculiarity of the game mechanics. If you like Lovecraft's style and this company's Sherlock Holmes games (play those first) this is an enjoyable game. The best part was a super creepy mansion basement where nothing happened. I just walked around with a flashlight, in suspense, and discovered another lower level, even creepier, with absolutely no dangers or resources.

very slow, not my cup of tea but i can see some like it

全成就通关，游戏的优化非常糟糕，经常出现顿卡现象。游戏场景重复利用过度，大部分任务都是相同的场景，然后去地点去找不同位置的东西，捡完即可完成任务的，纯纯的跑腿任务，而这些繁琐的任务完成与否，以及任务中的选择对于结局没任何影响，最终结局选择只取决于走哪条路。除非对克苏鲁元素感兴趣外不推荐游玩1，希望2能有提升了。
