The Sinking City 2 Reviews and Metacritic
A dated The Sinking City 2 review snapshot covering Metacritic, GameSpew, PC Gamer, repeated praise, and the main caveats across critics.
Score snapshot
Metacritic displayed a 79 Metascore, with 27 positive, 8 mixed, and 0 negative critic reviews. The user score was still listed as tbd at the time of capture. Scores are time-sensitive snapshots, not a permanent judgment or a score created by this Wiki.
| Outlet | Score | What the review emphasized |
|---|---|---|
| GameSpew | 9/10 | Puzzles, combat, story, and a roughly 14-hour run |
| PC Gamer | 70% | Focused survival horror and a new protagonist |
| Metacritic | 79 | The combined critic snapshot |
Repeated praise
Across the audited coverage, the strongest common points are the teal-black atmosphere, flooded Art Deco Arkham, puzzle structure, and the move toward a tighter survival-horror loop. The protagonist change also gives the sequel a distinct identity rather than simply repeating Charles Reed’s role.
Caveats to consider
The same coverage also points to limits in enemy variety, system depth, or consistency between strong atmosphere and uneven encounters. Read the full review that matches your priority: GameSpew is useful for the overall playtime and experience, while PC Gamer gives a different perspective on the protagonist and survival-horror focus.
How to read the score
- Use Metacritic for a dated aggregate snapshot.
- Use individual reviews for reasons behind the number.
- Recheck the date before quoting the score because more reviews can change the total.
- Do not average the listed scores into a made-up “Wiki rating.”

How to read the score set
Keep critic scores, user sentiment and review text separate. Compare the publication date and platform, then read the quoted strengths and weaknesses instead of averaging unlike scales into a made-up Wiki score.
