After recently replaying all their PS4 games, and this one, I can’t explain how excited I am to play their new Sherlock Holmes game which has its first part out later this year. As such, The Sinking City shares a lot of gameplay mechanics with these games, but it’s now set in a massive open world which you can explore in order to gain background knowledge and lore documents – a bold move that actually works really well. There are a few ‘questionable’ changes and welcomed improvements, but is this the definitive way to play the game?įrogwares, as you may already know, are the team behind the modern Sherlock Holmes games, titles such as The Devil’s Daughter and the recent re-release, Crimes and Punishments (which we also reviewed). As a massive fan of the game, having completed it on the PS4, PC and Switch previously, it was inevitable that I had to also play this version and give my opinion on it – A simple ‘quick look’ led to me grabbing the platinum within 25 hours by playing it non-stop. On Thursday, Frogwares surprised everyone by announcing a remastered PS5 edition of their latest release, The Sinking City, which was set to launch at midnight that day, allowing people to experience the next-gen edition from Friday onwards.
