After a mission involving poisoning of food given to the people for example, for the duration of the game after I noticed people being sick on the street as I passed. If you pay attention as your running around you will see people fighting their own battles over food, haggling, begging, etc, but better yet as things in the game unfold you start to see changes. While non-interactable there was a lot of attention to detail and making the city feel immersive. While many will complain the population outside of the main characters are lifeless, I beg to differ. If your RP'ing it, they generally give you enough clues to find and determine what would be the most "moral" choice is, but at times its up to your own determination of if the ends justified the means. I was also impressed at the moral ambiguity of some of the choices. As each case unfolds you are allowed to make choices on who you side with, what you do, and there is impact to these choices as far as the individual cases and even a few main story points as you go. Now the positives.The world itself was to me quite immersive.

The negatives are the combat is clunky, it definitely feels like a map simulator at times (you will spend an inordinate amount of time using the map to hunt down street names for objectives), the skill system is uninspired, sometimes they overuse notes/memo's to relay the horror that is going on in the game when a bit more seeing it actually happen even outside a cut scene would have been far more impactful, and the endings seemed a bit short and anti-climactic. The negatives are the combat is clunky, it definitely feels like a Played it to completion and would give it a 7 given I'm a Lovecraft fan.

THE SINKING CITY DELUXE EDITION PS3
PROS: + great, heavy game aura makes you "sink" into the world very quickly, espacially if you like this kind of creepy, mysterious climates + lots of knowledge from Lovecraft works, if you value getting to know world better not only through NPC talks and action, you will surely enjoy diaries, book pages and souvenirs you will find in the game through the quests + hard to make, important decision (not like in telltales, they are smartly designed) + nice details in the buildings interiors + good soundtrack ( really creepy monsters and not only sounds) + requires some thinking in your tasks, for ex you're not given quest location immdeiately, you have to search archives first to find clues + open ending that imho indicates that the developers may be thinking about continuation, many threads has been left open CONS: - kinda PS3 graphic outside the building ( but still atmospheric, not that big thing,but if you value high quality textures, you may be bit disappointed) - interiors recycle ( lots of building has same rooms layout and furniture) - NPCs and monsters bugs, also textures bugs, but not actively interrupting the gameplay - many open threads may be also a disadvantage if you're into the story and not given the answer to "what really happend" - bad melee fight design ( not precise at all), only "ok" shooting - small number of monster types - technical quests motonny ( "go here from there, kill something, gather some data and return " type (( but they contain some very good stories nevertheless)) ) If you're into mysterious, atmospheric and story-driven games its definitely 8/10, if you value action, fight and character development more it's 7/10. PROS: + great, Very good game for people enjoying slow tension building, intriguing atmospehere, fascinating stories and lots of reading.

There are some minor bugs and flaws but nothing game breaking. ratings show that they haven't played the game for a long tim. I will definitely play through this game again.
THE SINKING CITY DELUXE EDITION MANUAL
3 save slots are available for manual saving. Even when dying, the auto save system got your back and you do not lose much progress. Besides even the witcher 3 combat is more clunky. A few hours into it and after spending a few skill points it gets easier. They are clearly not black and white and I often do think, was this the right choice? Only let down is the combat at the beginning of the game. Everybody has a great story to tell and the decisions you take are very impactful and the outcome hard to forese. is done greatly and not something that slows the game progress. The detective work with visions is great and also looking up crimes in the police archives etc.

It's definitely one of my favourites this year. The detective work with visions is great and also I am now around 20 hours into the game.
