Load times are cut down by as much as six times and this is a beautiful thing and very noticeable in this game. What players typically also expect from a re-release from one gen to another is fast(er) loading times, and this is actually, for me, where this enhanced version of The Sinking City is so much better than the original release. With sharper textures and better lighting, everything from the soaking wet buildings and clothing to the sci-fi look of some of the NPCs is much better and provides a significantly more enjoyable experience.
Textures and lighting have received a lot of treatment as well and the difference is evident in the comparison trailer. Technical glitching, like pop-ins and clipping, still happen as well, but going off of memory from about a year and a half ago, it doesn’t seem as prominent as it was on PS4. Still, it’s already a very noticeable improvement from the original. The game runs in 4K and maintains a smooth 60fps for the most part, though there are some hiccups from time to time.
Starting with the obvious that you would expect from a next-gen re-release, indeed The Sinking City has received some major graphical improvements. Some issues in the gameplay remain, but this is a far superior version to the original, lets have a closer look as to why. While the core gameplay remains the same, as I detail in my original review, there’s been a lot of polish applied to The Sinking City since its original release. I was pleased to get a review code for it, and have been slowly working my way through the soaked streets of Oakmont again, enjoying the differences between this enhanced version and the original.
Fast forward to about two weeks ago, and developer Frogwares did a short-notice, surprise release of a significantly enhanced version of the game on PS5. Back in June of 2019, The Sinking City was released for consoles and I reviewed it.
