The Sinking City Critic Reviews and Review Scores
PC GamerAndy Kelly

An occasionally entertaining detective game blighted by poor writing, rote combat, and a dreary open world.
EurogamerMalindy Hetfeld
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.
IGNJohn Borba
7
While occasionally frustrating, The Sinking City's compelling stories, exciting environments, and memorable characters make for one of the better Cthulhu lore games around.
Game InformerJeff Marchiafava

The Sinking City succeeds at creating a memorable world and twisting narrative that pulls players beyond its mediocre gameplay

Clumsy design, tedious storytelling, and often game-breaking technical limitations sap The Sinking City of any real terror or intrigue.
