“The game leans more on survival than pure horror, with environments that grow richer as you progress. Its engaging story and strong environmental storytelling make it one of the finest adaptations of H.P. Lovecraft’s unsettling world. Fans of survival horror, especially titles like Silent Hill, will find much to enjoy—despite a few flaws.”

“A fantastic survival horror game that applies the Resident Evil formula brilliantly and manages to stand toe-to-toe with the genre's best. A must-play for fans of the genre and Lovecraft enthusiasts alike!”

“Both frustrating and intriguing all the same, Mortal Shell II vastly improves on the original title with a world filled with secret dungeons about while routinely kicking the player's teeth in without mercy.”

“Mortal Shell 2 is a great step forward from the original; one that takes extra brutality, a more scenic world, and magnificently designed enemies and puts them in the forefront. The world is full of life, and every inch of it is worth exploring - from the poisoned swamp to the snowy alcoves. The brutal gameplay, combined with a plethora of items to create a build makes this one of the best soulslike titles I have played. Unfortunately, it still has a little ways to go when it comes to the mechanical aspects, as glitchy bosses, a world you can and will fall through, and broken weapons make it difficult to fully love the title. If you can get past that, it is a game that is worth coming back to.”

“The Sinking City 2 is an absolute triumph, not only due to its harrowing real-world origins, but because of how Frogwares masterfully crafted a survival horror game as their first product in the genre.”

“The Sinking City 2 is a commendable Lovecraftian survival-horror title that successfully preserves the identity of its predecessor while seamlessly weaving it with the core tenets of the survival genre. Its narrative is gripping, and the environmental storytelling flourishes through atmospheric world-building, evocative sound design, and a fittingly haunting soundtrack. The survival mechanics are well-balanced, and exploring the city of Arkham serves as a superb conduit to engage with them. Nevertheless, The Sinking City 2 remains plagued by various technical and artistic shortcomings that ultimately keep it from ascending to higher echelons”

“The Sinking City 2 may fall shy of becoming the definitive Lovecraftian video game, but it’s definitely an evocative love letter to cosmic horror. Combat works well enough, but it’s the puzzles, narrative, and submerged world that shine from the depths, beckoning survival horror fans to give this game a go.”

“Mortal Shell II isn’t trying to prove that it can make a better Dark Souls. It’s trying to prove that a Soulslike can evolve without losing what made the genre special in the first place. And after playing it, I think Cold Symmetry has made a pretty convincing argument.”

“Sephiria is great, I can't stop thinking about my next run if that's any indication to you. Whilst the bosses could be better, they're not a dealbreaker as the rest of the combat is excellent. Whilst there are a lot of roguelites around these days, this is definitely one of the better ones.”

“Mortal Shell 2 constantly surprised me, whether it was the mechanics behind a newly discovered Shell, the layered improvements to combat, a bulbous monstrosity of a boss fight that was more mouth than anything else, or the ways you can tinker with a build and make it wholly your own.”
