Tech Review: The Sinking City
The latest games, apps and gadgets reviewed.
Xbox One (Bigben)
Something fishy is going on in the port of Oakmont. Octopus entrails are draped around the place, trout-faced fishermen hang out in the bar, and underwater visions plague your every move. You play a private detective on the hunt for a missing man, while experiencing the kind of hallucinations last seen at Woodstock in 1969.
Talk to locals, gather clues and evidence, and engage in the odd gunfight with a creature from the deep. Combat is more frustrating than a plate of rotten shellfish, mind you.
Hot on the heels of 2018’s Call Of Cthulhu, The Sinking City is a fresh attempt to adapt the work of HP Lovecraft. While it captures the writer’s disconcerting explorations of ocean gods and insanity, the stilted dialogue and clunky controls are a wash out.
