I hope you bought a spare pair of socks! It’s time to start exploring the sunken city of Arkham and help Calvin not only uncover the truth behind the curse that is plaguing his love but also grab all the achievements and trophies that go with it.
Frogwares’ next addition to the series has moved away from investigative detective work to full-on survival horror, and I am absolutely here for it!
We absolutely loved The Sinking City 2; read our review here to see what makes it so special.
Overview
- Completion Difficulty: 2/10 – There are both combat and puzzle difficulty selections.
