While the game doesn’t feature loading screens of any kind, the added speed of the m.2 drive in the PlayStation 5 means that when the game does load, it does so at a blistering speed. Occasional hiccups don’t seem to be tied to any particular action, or the number of creatures or people on the screen, but they are infrequent enough to not be a concern. The PlayStation 5 version of the game runs at 4K resolution, and maintains 60 FPS for the most part. To that point, moving to PlayStation 5 isn’t going to add any additional depth to the combat, but a fresh set of hardware can mean a world of difference for the game, graphically. I’m not going to rehash Travis’s in-depth review, but suffice it to say that this game is a detective puzzler with a small pinch of combat thrown in to break things up. Still, at a reduced price (and 30% additional off for PS+ members for the next two weeks) and this many improvements, it’s time to revisit Oakmont and see what new horrors are in store.

Could this surprise upgrade release on the PlayStation 5 be what the game needed to realize the mountains of potential present?īefore we get too far into the comparison with the PlayStation 5 version, the first question owners of the PlayStation 4 version will ask is whether this is a free upgrade. In short, most of his complaints with the game were on the technical side.
He also praised the game for its worldbuilding, but noted that there were a number of low-resolution textures. In his review he praised Frogwares for their investigative mechanics, but jabbed them in the gills for numerous issues including memory leaks, character placements, pop-in, and other hiccups. Editor Travis Northup already did a deep dive into The Sinking City on the Xbox One. “It is absolutely necessary, for the peace and safety of mankind, that some of earth’s dark, dead corners and unplumbed depths be let alone lest sleeping abnormalities wake to resurgent life, and blasphemously surviving nightmares squirm and splash out of their black lairs to newer and wider conquests.”
