I really enjoyed The Sinking City.

Saddle up for sea puns, sea biscuit.

Immediately, I was immersed in the world. Yes, after a while the reused assets for both the open world and quests are noticeable and can be a bit boring. The endgame tendency to throw a certain enemy at you...and multiple...is annoying. (Protip...despite everything being soggy, investing in firebombs is quite good. It will be one of your staple weapons. An anchor of a weapon one may say.)

The story telling was fantastic. Both told and environmental; seeing the differences in the districts, how people dressed etc. The way at first you may have sympathies toward certain people but then it becomes very grey if not outright changed by the end of the story, had me deeply invested.

Story: As a fan of Silent Hill, this game had me hook, line, and sinker out of the gate. Fantastic.
Combat: Hook, line, and stinker. Repetitive and exploitable. Upgrade your melee and just use that on everything but the biggest baddies and when there is a deluge of enemies. Those get stuck on doors and can be abused anyway.
Gameplay: Repetitive but enjoyable. I felt it allowed me to focus on the story.
Music: Dreary. All the tonal necessities of making you feel like you are in a damp hellhole are there.
Overall: Recommended for those looking for a sort of Silent Hill lite setting without drowning in enemies around every corner.

In the end, everything is crab.

An amazing Noir Experience. The atosmosphere is intense, the visuals just stunning! Its really a world where can fall into without fail!

The game has its weak points.
I wish for example there were a ranking for side quests, so you know when your current weapons and skills are not enough to do them yet.
Also the remastered version was made with a controller in mind, so the mouse controll is awefull. So to play it fluently with PC contolls you need to play the original.
But if you are a massive nerd like me and have an eye for detail I promise you will fall of you chair laughing at more than one easteregg from this brilliant and crazy team of developers. I know at least one of them is a discworld lover like me ;)
I never thought I would laugh that hard while in a KKK HQ
