The Real Review

The Sinking City 2 delivers a gorgeous and terrifying Lovecraftian survival horror from Frogwares, with a strong positive reception largely thanks to its incredible atmosphere and graphics powered by Unreal Engine 5. People are really into the oppressive, flooded city of Arkham, but the experience is dragged down by a punishing difficulty that many found unfair and technical performance issues, especially on PC and Xbox. Comparisons to Resident Evil and Silent Hill came up a lot, with some feeling the combat and scares don't quite measure up to those classics. It’s a solid horror adventure if you can handle the jank and the challenge, but maybe wait for a patch or a sale.
