Habe ja zeitnah Geburtstag und gehe mal davon aus, dass ich das Spiel geschenkt bekomme. Freue mich schon sehr, erwarte so eine kleine Vampyr-Perle.

Google - "The Sinking City Embargo" - erster Link.

Bis morgen steht das Embargo.

EDIT: Fuchsi schneller.

DoK · 25. Juni 2019

Ich hoffe, dass das Kampfsystem keinen zu hohen Stellenwert einnimmt, das sieht ziemlich grottig aus.

Haben die Entwickler auch bisher kaum Erfahrung mit. Wird eher "Mittel zum Zweck", war bei Vampyr nicht anders. Hauptaugenmerk wird auf Atmosphäre und Detektivarbeit liegen, worauf ich mich sehr freue. Insbesondere die sehr offene Gestaltung der Fälle ohne irgendwelche Questmarker o.Ä. macht mich richtig fikkrig. Kein Bock an die Hand genommen zu werden.

GameSkinny - 9 / 10 stars

With a distinct lack of hand holding, in-depth investigative mechanics, and a solid mix of open world design with mythos monsters, The Sinking City is the standard for Lovecraftian games.

Destructoid - 8.5 / 10

Overall, as much as I adore the story and atmosphere of The Sinking City, it definitely feels like a budget title at times. If you can get past the weak combat, harmless jank, and enjoy a solid detective experience that won't hold your hand and throw tough choices your way, you shouldn't pass up on it. Even more so if you're a fan of Lovecraft. Because as the Old Ones were, the Old Ones are, and the Old Ones shall be and that's a good enough reason for me!

GameSpace - 8.5 / 10

The mystery of what is really going on in Oakmont, and with lead character Charles Reed, kept drawing me in and often kept me playing far longer then I intended to.

PowerUp! - 8.4 / 10

Playing The Sinking City feels oppressive, as it should. Oakmont is a terrible, rotten, half destroyed place where lawlessness abounds. Half the city believes in racial purity and the others believe in the long-dormant Elder Gods beneath the ocean. Even with the sometimes clunky dialogue and stiff animations, The Sinking City is a fascinating study of the human condition.

COGconnected - 84 / 100

Save for the graphical issues, The Sinking City is heart-pounding, unrelenting, and addictive. Its powers of immersion and fear are not to be overlooked, and fans of eldritch horror, Cthulhu, and things that go bump in the night will definitely be satisfied playing in the dark.

The Games Machine - Italian - 8.4 / 10

Even with its (few) flaws, The Sinking City manages to shine right where other games of the same genre have failed to impress. It doesn't abuse jumpscare and useless boss fights, but instead Frogwares focused on a well thought out and engaging investigative system and on pleasant action parts, which naturally lead the player to discover the monstrosities of the abyss and to bitterly repent of their own curiosity.

IGN Italy - Italian - 8.1 / 10

A good example of how to craft a Mythos game. Not for the faint of heart. Cool fact: a gamer who knows nothing about the mythos will make probably all the wrong choices in the game.

WellPlayed - 8 / 10

Frogwares expertly blends its Sherlock Holmes gameplay formula with Lovecraft's universe to create one of the best Lovecraftian experiences in years

Twinfinite - 4 / 5

It would be nice to see the world and combat tightened up a bit, but its incredibly rewarding mystery-solving makes it a stellar investigation game that succeeds at such a naturally mystifying genre where many others fail.

Daily Star - 4 / 5 stars

The Sinking City has an incredible atmosphere that really grips the darkest parts of your mind. Oakmont feels hostile, unwelcoming and full of secrets, but the game makes it clear that it might cost more than just your life to find out what they are. While it stumbles with its characters and combat, The Sinking City is a great first step into the supernatural detective game.

CGMagazine - 8 / 10

The Sinking City struggles under the weight of its ambition, but it's compelling mysteries and horrific world make it a compelling journey.

Cerealkillerz - German - 7.9 / 10

Unfortunately, the negative aspects in The Sinking City outweigh the positive ones: lackluster graphics, bug-ridden NPCs and a combat system that fails to deliver. But if you can dismiss all this, you will be in for a great action adventure and the most detailed lovecraft game world to date. It's still a must play for every fan of eldritch horrors and detective games!

IGN - 7.8 / 10

While occasionally frustrating, The Sinking City's compelling stories, exciting environments, and memorable characters make for one of the better Cthulhu lore games around.

Wccftech - 7.8 / 10

The Sinking City is probably the Lovecraft inspired game currently available on the market, thanks to its oppressive atmosphere and its story, which utilizes the lore masterfully without deviating from the canon. AI and technical issues, as well as the clunky combat, are often immersion breaking, but the excellent investigation mechanics and exploration features make it easy to look past these issues. Highly recommended to survival horror fans and those who live and breath Lovecraft.The links above are affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, Wccftech.com may earn from qualifying purchases.

TechRaptor - 7.5 / 10

The Sinking City has a fantastic story, atmosphere, and investigations, leading to something that feels genuinely unique. It's just a shame that it's brought down by an overabundance of crummy combat and glitches.

Stevivor - 7.5 / 10

The Sinking City is a mixed bag; a riveting mystery that’s far less linear than anything Frogwares has ever done. It’s very rough around the edges however, likely to cause as much frustration as it does enjoyment.

PlayStation LifeStyle - 7.5 / 10

Some issues hold me back from giving The Sinking City full marks, but I still recommend it. Whether you're a fan of Lovecraft, horror in general, or even a good old mystery, you may get a lot out of Frogware's latest. Just beware the call of Cthulhu.

Paste Magazine - 7.5 / 10

I appreciate that the development team gave the player the second option. But, given the splash screen that begins the game, and Frogwares' clear understanding that they are dealing with a heated and contentious period of history, I question why they gave the player the first option.

Hobby Consolas - Spanish - 71 / 100

The Sinking City is a faithful adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft´s universe, and has some interesting mechanics, but the game has many technical flaws and the open world structure feels "empty".

MSPoweruser - 7 / 10

Without a doubt, The Sinking City is the best Lovecraft game we’ve ever seen. It’s still not a perfect title—for some reason, none are—but it’s a damn fun time as a Lovecraftian private eye. Hopefully, Frogwares will follow up with another Lovecraft title with stronger combat. But if investigating eldritch horrors in an entirely unique game world is what you’re after, you need to play this despite its flaws.

Gaming LYF - 3.5 / 5 stars

The Sinking City is an incredibly ambitious open world detective title which punches way above its weight thanks to various refreshing mechanics, an engaging narrative and some impressively alluring world design. Combat woes, a rigid open world and numerous technical issues unfortunately let what's otherwise a great game down. However, The Sinking City is still well worth a look.

Shacknews - 7 / 10

If you’ve ever been a fan of Lovecraftian horror or just mystery stories in general, The Sinking City is one stop you’ll want to make a little time for on your trip down the rabbit hole.

Spaziogames - Italian - 7 / 10

Frogwares creates an open world and a story that both fit perfectly inside Lovecraft's mithology, but The Sinking City fails to stay aside the best games of the genre.

Push Square - 7 / 10

The Sinking City is a captivating detective undertaking that dives into the hauntings of H.P. Lovecraft with a compelling narrative that is sure to question your viewpoint as well as reality itself. If you can look past its presentational shortcomings and mediocre combat system, the plight of private eye Charles Reed is one worth seeing for yourself.

Critical Hit - 7 / 10

The Sinking City is a great game for fans of Lovecraftian horror and delivers some stellar quest writing but unfortunately stumbles due to overused and uninspired mechanics, a bland protagonist and general lack of life

God is a Geek - 7 / 10

If you can ignore The Sinking City's technical failings, set the combat difficulty to easy and stick to getting embroiled in the story

PC Invasion - 3.5 / 5 stars

A treat for fans of H. P. Lovecraft's works, mystifying settings, and followers of the Cthulhu Mythos. Unfortunately, its weaker combat and exploration mechanics remain asleep at the bottom of the ocean.

IGN Spain - Spanish - 7 / 10

Despite the technical disaster that it is, The Sinking City knows how to capture the essence of H.P. Lovecraft's work to create their own story in an interesting place like Oakmont, full of details and mysteries to discover.

Tech Advisor - 3.5 / 5 stars

Quote not yet available

PC Gamer - 66 / 100

An occasionally entertaining detective game blighted by poor writing, rote combat, and a dreary open world.

DualShockers - 6.5 / 10

Despite featuring elements from many video games that I love, The Sinking City still fell flat for me.

PushStartPlay - 6.5 / 10

A promising premise, drowned by its menacing ambition.

Game Revolution - 3 / 5 stars

The enjoyable Cthulhu detective story is enough to be worth seeing through, but it’s a mystery why the other parts of the game couldn’t be as strong.

TrueAchievements - 3 / 5 stars

Lousy combat and a low-res, buggy, lifeless land are blemishes for sure, but overall while this may not be the best of the bunch, The Sinking City is certainly the most ambitious of all recent Lovecraftian horror games.

GameSpew - 6 / 10

It won’t scare your socks off, but if you can avoid getting bogged down by The Sinking City’s clunkier elements, there’s enough to enjoy here.

VideoGamer - 5 / 10

The Sinking City is well worth playing for the initial rhythm of its casework and the freshness of its setting, but its mechanics, like its mystery, end up flooded.

Cultured Vultures - 5 / 10

It's very hard to call The Sinking City a "good game," all things considered, but it was definitely a game worth making. Keep an eye out for future improvements and hopefully someday it'll be a game worth playing.

GamesRadar+ - 2.5 / 5 stars

The Sinking City's engrossing premise is ultimately betrayed by counterintuitive systems and bleak monotony.

Eurogamer - No Recommendation / Blank

Frogware's most ambitious title to date sees it take on the Cthulu mythos, but unfortunately it makes for one of its most flawed games too.

Polygon - Unscored

Great investigations and ancient horrors are hidden by frustrating action

Rock, Paper, Shotgun - Unscored

Goodness, I was very interested in The Sinking City. I really wanted to love it. But I’m afraid rain may have stopped play this time.

GameByte - Unscored

There are some flaws in Sinking City, but there is plenty of clever content to keep the player interested.

Liest sich bis auf die Technik grandios! Genau das, was ich mit erhofft habe von dem Spiel.

Freude ist umso größer.

Stimme ich zu.
Meine Hoffnungen wurden erfüllt, die aufgeführten Mankos sind allesamt nicht überraschend und waren schon recht früh ersichtlich. Hatte da wenig Hoffnung, dass sich da bis Release noch was verändert.

Aber die Open World Thematik liest sich hervorragend!
Freue mich richtig darauf mal wieder eine Welt erkunden zu können, die nicht nur als Kulisse dient.

Hmmm...eigentlich gar nicht

Einen Triple-A-Titel konnte man jetzt nicht erwarten, aber der Bericht geht für mich als Lovecraft-Fan völlig i. O.

Ich habe alles von Lovecraft gelesen und das Einfangen der Atmosphäre ist echt schwer und hört sich bei dem Spiel für mich immer noch mehr als gut an.
