I do have to wonder why the cinematics felt so low resolution/quality but it's not a really big turn off.Would most definitely recommend this game to anybody who's into horror-noir detective movies/games.

The Sinking City is a good investigation game that is weighed down by repetitive and tedious combat, along with some outdated technical details. If you are a Lovecraft lover you should give it a chance.

The Sinking City Xbox Series X|S is an improved version of the game that arrived on Xbox One, with a solid technical finish, but little polish, leaving us with a bittersweet feeling. Speaking of the gameplay part, investigation phases stand out, because they are very well crafted and the feeling of being investigating is well made.

It is always strange to replay a game, especially one like The Sinking City; a game that is quite hefty in terms of the hours required. But with this next-gen edition, this is never an issue and it’s been a delight to head back in to the world it delivers - mostly thanks to the new tweaks making it feel like you are playing a new game at times. From the fast loading times to the texture of rain on a coat, The Sinking City now feels wonderful.

Except they did it for the FISH people, who became that way because of their cult devoted to a literal FISH DEMON who is in league with a ELDRICH HORROR. So they try to portray those understandably untrusted and discriminated horrific mutants as oppressed victims of KKK, to make parallels with American blacks. Well what happens when KKK are the only ones whos actively fighting a worshipers of the cult to EDRICH HORROR? No matter how you try to humanize the FISH people, the KKK look like the good guys, you absolute pillocks. Developers wanted to be so woke and give Lovecraft's racism a middle finger so badly, they did a full circle and made the KKK look rational. Incredible, just amazing.The gameplay is poorly made and boring.
