With E3 hitting in the middle of June, the gaming industry is very much going to be looking to the future this month. However, a number of eye-catching single-player games are set to make their debuts in the here and now.
Frogwares, the developer of Lovecraftian investigative horror adventure The Sinking City, has obtained full publishing rights for its game.
Good for them. Sinking City was an odd game for me. Tons of jank and filler, and poorly tacked-on combat and character upgrades, but decent writing and stories that were compelling enough to make me finish the game.
It feels like it wants to be a point-and-click adventure game, but got shoehorned into an open-world RPG.
Good game. Not bad, not great. I'm still waiting for an amazing Cthulu game. Call of Cthulu by Cyanide/Focus Home got the tone and setting right, but just didn't deliver enough in other areas.
One day, eventually.
we never will now in this current climate. HP Lovecraft is taboo amongst the major players. Shame too cuz all his stories would make killer side quests in an open world adventure about the great old ones.
Rather than DLC a sequel that built on everything that worked and polished the bits that didn't would be ideal. There was a lot to like about the first game and it'd be a great base for a follow up with improved combat etc.
Feels like the game is a bit old for DLC, I can imagine them grafting on it and nobody buying it.
Here are some great PC games that are even better with a controller. In fact, one can say that they're meant to be played with a controller.
That's why I don't mess with PC gaming for the most part. When I game I'm relaxing. Hard to do that with a keyboard and mouse. That's just my thought on it.
I'm still hoping bethesada adds real controller support to the og fallout or re release them on xbox like what was done with wasteland 1

What exactly is so hard about using a keyboard and mouse compared to a controller when subjectively relaxing? Do you game upside down on a crossbar?
At least in my opinion, with a controller I can lay back comfortably in my couch however I want. Keyboard + mouse would require a table and chair, and requires investing in ergonomics not to completely mess up my back (not saying the couch is good for my back either but achieving comfortability is easier). Again, emphasizing that I'm speaking out of opinion, and I agree with you that concepts of relaxing and which is better are both very subjective matters. All in all I don't think it's a particularly good article since it really boils down to personal preference.
My old ass Xbox 360 Rock Candy controller still works fine today "For the Players"
H.P. Lovecraft's cosmic horror influence can be seen in movies, books, and even games. Here are the best Lovecraftian video games.
Judgment looks interesting as does The Sinking City. I'm getting both and now I'm gonna read up on 198X and get up to date on it.
Ok, now I'm excited for 198x.
Can’t wait for sinking city. From my understanding it’s a bit janky and a little on the “budget” side. I just beat call of Cthulhu yesterday and enjoyed it even though I don’t really like those kinds of hiding games. I can deal if I like the story.
Sinking City looks good
I wish Sega would release their games sooner on PC. Yakuza 0, Kiwami and Kiwami 2 all look and play amazing on PC. Would love to play Judgement, but I learned from the GTAV fiasco that there are too many games to play to be buying the same ones for multiple platforms.
In the meantime hopefully Yakuza 6 will be released on PC this year/early next year and that can hold me over until Judgement is put on PC in a few years.
