Load times are also extremely snappy, so fast traveling throughout the city isn’t a painful ordeal. It gives me a lot of faith in Frogwares’ upcoming Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One on the platform. Except for the cutscenes, which look noticeably more muddy and low resolution than the actual gameplay and in-engine cinematics, The Sinking City PS5 is pristine and detailed. Graphically, The Sinking City PS5 looks like a game that belongs natively on the console. You can get a good look at the improvements and comparisons to the last-gen version in the PS5 launch trailer. The lighting and textures have also been improved. I only had a rare stuttering issue or two, but nothing that was overtly noticeable or impacted the gameplay experience in any way.
The PS5 version runs at 4K/60fps, and is pretty technically sound.

The Steam version is currently under more controversy, with Nacon actually pirating the game to sell it. 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. 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.
