We already posted a preview of The Sinking City 2 a few months ago, and we thought we’d be able to do the same for the review, but because of the release date and our summer vacation, we had to change our plans. Nevertheless, we invite you to check out the beginning of the adventure as well as the start of the sequence that follows the demo’s church scene, along with our comments (in French with automated English subs) on this final version. Critical reception has been mixed for now, with some publications praising Frogwares’ new game to the skies and others focusing primarily on its shortcomings. As for us—even without having seen enough for our opinion to carry any real weight—we think we fall somewhere in between. The game boasts truly impressive visuals for its budget, the atmosphere is spot-on, and even though animations are stiff and the combat system and is quite average in terms of feedback, we find this sequel has a genuine double-A charm. Keep in mind, however, that we also enjoyed the first installment, which may influence our perspective.
Update: Gameplay video added (no commentary).
