Французско-украинская студия Frogwares, пережив череду скандалов и судебных тяжб, вернула себе права на бренд The Sinking City и выпустила не самое ожидаемое продолжение. Однако сиквел отошёл от изначальной концепции. Если первая часть была сфокусирована на исследовании открытого мира и детективных расследованиях, то вторая часть дрейфует в сторону Resident Evil 4 с элементами The Evil Within.

The Sinking City 2 is finally here! The Sinking City 2 is a third-person survival horror set in 1920s Arkham. Deliberate, tense, and resource-lean: pressure builds as you push deeper, relief comes in brief refuge, and fear is something you manage. Mind your inventory, take on unnerving puzzles, and double back via unlocked shortcuts for supplies and upgrades. We hope you enjoy the game ❤️Have fun!— Frogwares Team

The Sinking City was exactly the kind of ambitious but flawed game that deserves a sequel. Good ideas, middling execution? Give 'em another shot, I'm sure they'll do better second time around. What was ambitious was that it was a detective game but also a horror game about H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos set in a flooded open world where sometimes you have to get around by motorboating, and not in the fun way... Read more.

I was really excited to get to fully experience The Sinking City 2 after I had a chance to preview it back in May, because it did leave a really good impression on me, even in two small snippets. Frogwares has come a really long way from its humble beginnings—delivering games that were genuinely inspired, albeit a little janky—and this was looking to be proof positive of that. Veering in a radically different direction from its predecessor, The Sinking City 2 takes a lot of inspiration from the modern survival horror genre of the mid-2010s, as well as the recent revival as seen with games like

Surviving Arkham is not an easy task. The city is infested with monsters, dead, and creatures of various kinds and shapes. So you’ll need to plan ahead, gather clues, and retreat when necessary.Check out our newest game overview trailer for some insights on how to stay alive.

Time for another gameplay trailer from us. It takes place at Arkham Fish Market – a former hub of enterprise and trade, now taken over by Deep Ones from the ocean and other creatures. Seafood stalls, warehouses, and fishing equipment – all of it left forgotten by its former owners. The only sane person still living at this forsaken place is barely even human anymore. We hope you enjoy it! — Frogwares Team

The original Sinking City was a touch too ambitious for its own good, spreading its supernatural horror mystery across an open world that left it feeling thin. When I played a preview build of the sequel earlier this year, it seemed more focused, the kind of survival horror game with room for exploration within its levels but not an entire town to free-roam around—more like H. P. Lovecraft's Resident Evil than a budget Grand Theft Cthulhu... Read more.

If you played a Cthulhu lore drinking game during The Sinking City then I pity your liver. It had tentacles, a New England setting, a sanity mechanic, a troubled private detective, an asylum level, analogies for racism incongruously placed next to depictions of actual racism—all these genre clichés shuffled onto its damp stage, shuffled around a bit, then shuffled off...

I was somewhat unaware that The Sinking City 2 was something that was even in development. Its predecessor lives on as a bit of an oddity—genuinely beloved, despite being a somewhat janky mess of a game. But Frogwares has built up a bit of a reputation for delivering games that, despite their flaws, are so genuinely earnest and entertaining that it’s easy to get absorbed in them. So when the studio offered to give CGM a Hands-On first look at The Sinking City 2, I was honestly intrigued—and not just because I’ve recently become our magazine’s “Cthulhu guy.” However, I was not expecting for thi
