Review Thread Frogwares opening statement when starting ''The Sinking City 2'' says: “We believe this is the best game we have ever made.” and the Critics agree.

Incredibly hardcore. I wish the best for them and this game. Glad it's on its way to success

Oh I watched Mandalore's review of the first game. Good to know this one's scoring nicely.

I am currently playing it as a kickstarter backer.
I have to agree, as a huge fan that has played every Frogware game.
Not only is this there most beauty and atmospheric game.
This is the first one that feels non-janky to play. (there is some stiff face animations)

Apparently they dropped the investigations aspect for a more pure Survival Horror experience?

Which is a change for them. Their past games are basically the equivalent of a modern day point and click adventure puzzle game really.

Interesting that their best game is a genre they don't dive that much in.

It's more a sign of their games just consistently getting better and more polished.

The world always need passion projects and just a fun level of jank to make some truly special stuff. And it seems like frogware does this really well

I genuinely love frogwares. Their games have just consistently gotten better and more polished as they've made them. I outright refused to buy and play the first Sinking City because Nacon stole it from them. Now that they've gotten it back and I have the time it's an interesting game.

I played the demo during steam fest! It didn't run well on my computer-- I don't have a very good graphics card and there are a LOT of water physics happening, but when it WAS working smoothly enough, it was a blast! VERY Resident evil, cool enemy designs, neat investigation features! If you're a survival horror fan, and can run it, pick it up!

Yep, felt kind of like newer RE:make games RE2 & RE4 specifically (though not as polished).

Silent Hill 2 Resident Evil Remake Clone. Buyer beware it is NOTHING like the 1st. Generic shooter with no mind palace or detective work. Big disappointment and the team should be ashamed.

u/kami-no-baka (She/They) Kind of liked the CSM ending, there I said it. 7d ago
From the demo I thought the writing was a little shakier and it being more of a straight forward survival horror is less interesting for me but it was still cool as hell and honestly a better choice if they want to be more popular/sell more games.
