    It may be a little janky but to be honest, I'm just about ready to support any single player game without microtransactions nowadays.

      Vampyr was much better with mechanics and atmosphere for my taste. This one is more like Murdered Soul Suspect with slightly better graphics and open world. Underwhelming.

    were you legally restricted in how much gameplay you were allowed to show? Coz other reviews show a lot more gameplay as opposed to you guys just mainly talking about it with small clips of gameplay.

    There should be a remaster or remake of dark corners of the earth that would be amazing that had an atmosphere that I've never really found in a game since.

    Do not judge “lovecraft” based on your modern sensibilities. Back in the 1920’s segregation and the separation of races was a normal everyday event: the average person in the USA would not have viewed segregation as “evil” it was a part of normal society. I am frankly tired of hearing people talk
    About racism and lovecraft: he was a product of his time and the game is about that era, stop bringing up racism as a factor to be considered. Games are not your social causes platform.

    Sorry, but this game fell off my "must buy" list the moment they said they were going Epic Game Store exclusive. I might check it out next June, assuming you can drag me away from CP2077 & Bloodlines 2 😉.

    I've been hoping there would start to be a little more representation in more mainstream media for eldritch horror. It's been a few years, but its getting there in some games and movies. Hopefully a series can be developed for Sinking City.

    Vampyr is way less clunky actually.. love this game .. but my main gripe is the massive screen tear when u turn left or right.. drives me nuts.. and that’s on a PS4 pro.. BUT.. I can live with it due to the other stuff that out weighs the graphics .. still fun.. just go into it knowing it’s not even on par with VAMPYR, Plague Tale.. etc “Plague Tale is a beautiful looking game by the way “🏆 so... quirky with a major splash of screen tear I hope they patch

    Cant lie, that shirt is AWESOME Ash! Took a sec for me to realize what it was but then, bam, epiphany and I like it. As for the game, got jilted when it shifted to Epic store exclusive after being number 2 on my steam wishlist for so long. Looks interesting but I'll have to wait and see whenever it comes round if I remember it. It's one I wouldnt wanna roll on console so eh, we shall see. Great review though so I know what to look for when it comes round

    The reviews all say that the load times make it a miserable experience, but hopefully the gameplay makes up for it. I enjoyed LA Noire and Murdered Soul Suspect, the latter of which was also badly reviewed.
