    The Sinking City Xbox Series X|S is an improved version of the game that arrived on Xbox One, with a solid technical finish, but little polish, leaving us with a bittersweet feeling. Speaking of the gameplay part, investigation phases stand out, because they are very well crafted and the feeling of being investigating is well made.

    It is always strange to replay a game, especially one like The Sinking City; a game that is quite hefty in terms of the hours required. But with this next-gen edition, this is never an issue and it’s been a delight to head back in to the world it delivers - mostly thanks to the new tweaks making it feel like you are playing a new game at times. From the fast loading times to the texture of rain on a coat, The Sinking City now feels wonderful.

    While it doesn't succeed in everything it sets out to do, The Sinking City remains a game that does not lack character.

    The Sinking City is a good investigation game that is weighed down by repetitive and tedious combat, along with some outdated technical details. If you are a Lovecraft lover you should give it a chance.
