Frogwares? The Sinking City originally came out back in 2019, a Lovecraftian mystery about a city plagued by a flood and bouts of madness, with hints of ancient eldritch gods at the center of everything happening. The game has been embroiled in a lot of controversy following Frogwares? split with former publisher Nacon (previously Big Ben), and the game has been delisted and relisted from digital storefronts numerous times. The Steam version is currently under more controversy, with Nacon actually pirating the game to sell it. It?s a mystery that it feels like it?ll take Charles Reed to solve.
Fortunately, there?s at least one version of The Sinking City that isn?t besieged by the conflicts between Frogwares and Nacon. The Sinking City PS5 is the new next-gen release, self published entirely by Frogwares, and optimized for the new console. It?s fundamentally the same game as the PS4 version, with improved resolution and performance throughout. We?ve previously reviewed The Sinking City, so I won?t focus too much on the game?s overall content here?though this was my first time playing it, so I may make note of certain elements that stuck out to me. We?ll largely be looking at the title?s PS5 upgrade and optimizations, and if it?s worth grabbing on the next-gen console.
