The premise, in the publisher's words
The Sinking City 2 is a survival horror game developed by Frogwares and inspired by the works of horror fiction author H. P. Lovecraft. The game is a sequel to The Sinking City (2019) and the story is set in the city of Arkham during the 1920s.
How it plays
It is played from a third person perspective. Its themes are action, horror and survival. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. There are 23 achievements to unlock.
How it was received
The Sinking City 2 holds a critic score of 76 out of 100. That places it above 54% of the 7,525 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2026 averaged 78, so it scored 2 points below the year average.
How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 16.5 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 32.5 hrs, roughly 2 times the length of the critical path.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i7-8700K | AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, 16 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 | AMD RX 5700, 8GB VRAM. A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. Install size is roughly 70GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it costs, and where
Storefront pricing varies enormously by country: Argentina is the cheapest region we track at $29.99 (about $29.99), while Japan pays ¥9,000 — 1.9 times more. In Pakistan it is priced at Rs 33 on Steam, which is about $33.33.
What it launched against
The Sinking City 2 launched on 18 August 2026, within three weeks of The Blood of Dawnwalker, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy and Mortal Shell II. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 6 years into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: The Blood of Dawnwalker, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, Mortal Shell II.
