The Sinking City 2 Metacritic Scores
Metacritic separates the game by platform, so there is no single score that accurately represents every version. These figures were checked on August 24, 2026 and may move as more reviews are added.
Scores by platform
PlayStation 5: 79. Metacritic lists 30 critic reviews, with 24 positive and 6 mixed.
Xbox Series X: 84. The score is based on a smaller five-review sample, so it is less stable than the PS5 figure.
PC: 75. Metacritic lists 16 PC reviews, split between 9 positive and 7 mixed.
What critics praise
Atmosphere and world-building lead the positive coverage. Arkham's flooded locations and Lovecraftian environmental storytelling are repeatedly highlighted.
The survival-horror shift is broadly successful. Reviewers praise the stronger gunplay, exploration and puzzle design even when noting the heavy Resident Evil influence.
Common reservations
The first game's detective focus is smaller. Some returning players may miss the open-world investigation structure and denser casework.
Technical and pacing complaints vary by platform. Critics mention performance roughness, enemy respawns, cramped encounters and a campaign that some wanted to be longer.
