The Sinking City 2 dives into survival horror with cautious optimism

TL;DR Summary
The Sinking City 2 shifts from deductive, open-world investigation to a lean survival-horror approach in Arkham with a new lead, Calvin Rafferty. Combat feels more solid, but scarcity of ammo and supplies—and tighter, more linear pacing—drive the tension, even as puzzles play a lighter role. Visually evocative 1920s Arkham and quirky cosmic moments help sell the transition, marking a bold but imperfect evolution for Frogwares.
