That one took a little getting used to since you got to select the exact part of the mission you wanna research and can't just select the categories wildly to see what sticks, and there wasn't too much of a game or information you'd get out of those archives, but it did provide enough to make your next clue and continue whatever narrative you are on. You also sometimes have to do a bit of research at various archives for things like citizen records or information about books, which you do by piecing together three categories that match what you're searching for. Some missions have branching paths, primarily the main missions, and said main missions also have a mechanic where you piece together the clues to form a wider narrative. It depends on the particular mission you're on and is something you follow rather than invoke. You also possess a sixth sense vision of sorts which slowly drains your sanity to use, but may grant you supernatural insights into the scenes from giving you a vision into the past to peering past illusionary walls or sometimes to lead you to the clue you need through trippy visions you follow. The way you follow clues from one to the other is usually by trying to investigate various places from crime scenes to residences to monster-infested abandoned sites to try and locate clues of various kinds. There isn't a great deal of variation of enemies you face. Combat wasn't very good, but thankfully the game gives you two separate difficulty rating to modify, one for combat and one for the investigations, so I could reduce the burden and make it not interfere too much with bulletspongy enemies I've already encountered multiple times in the first half of the game alone. If you do wanna support Frogware, I hear Origin and Gamesplanet (sites I don't use myself, mind you) sell the Frogware version of the game.Īnyways I had some fun with The Sinking City, I especially enjoy the investigation gameplay and how you need to look up the streets and pin your own map pointers, giving it a feeling of doing your research.
If you don't care about outside factors like this and only want the game, or just find it too much of a hassle, no judgement from me I just want you to make an informed decision. Now, I'm just a layman with no idea how that legal process went, so grain of salt, but I am inclined to believe it given the issues the game has had with missing content and the odd end credits where you get one from Frogware and a separate one from BBI.
Why? Because as I hear there's been some legal issues were Frogware accuses Nacon/BigBen Interactive of having stolen their game, uploaded it themselves and ran off with the profits. Foreword is that I liked the game, but don't suggest buying it on Steam, hence the thumbs down.
