The Sinking City Remastered Review

MandaloreGaming

The Sinking City is an open world detective horror game set directly in Lovecraft's works with a nice Remastered edition that came out in 2025. So something like a curated Call of Cthulhu campaign. I was prepared for fishmen, but I wasn't prepared for what other nefarious lads were doing dark deeds in those fishmen alleys.

This should have been out earlier but there were some YouTube Hang-Ups since this video was troublesome with it for mysterious reasons. Captions will also be up in some hours when I'm sure the tool isn't going to eat them/cause a massive desync again.

They tried to warn me. "Don't get involved with the mob" they'd say. "You'll end up sleeping with the fishes."

Naming your dingy deathtrap boat the successor to the boat that killed everyone but you is peak veteran behavior.

Mandy has actually played only two games over the years.
EYE and Pathologic

"You can go from walking down a fairly nice neighborhood you probably won't be stabbed in to then dodging and weaving through rusted busses in tetanus creek."

Okay, so this is just New Orleans

"Townspeople have their own rafts and barges . . ."

The absolute curve ball in the intro - a mysterious shadow of a man on a wall that can't possibly be there, only for the camera to pan around to reveal that, no, there actually is a dude hanging out on top of the ropes. I love it.

More games should haunt you with a vision of your character hanging they self after you whiff too many closerange shots.

This dude's quips have him sounding like a tired Leon Kennedy

The idea that the evil devil on Mandy's shoulder is just Sseth continues to get a laugh out of me.

Last night i had a dream where Mandy reviewed an old sci-fi god/civ management game called "Stoar" where each copy had one of 72 wacky worlds, and he reviewed each and every one in a 5 and a half hour video.

But I guess I'll take this instead.
