The Old City: Leviathan
With a game such as The Old City: Leviathan where the story is such an important focus it can be hard to explain why it is worth experiencing without spoiling any surprises. The visuals are certainly very pretty and the audio very good, but by the developers own admission, everything is secondary to the story. The lack of interaction with the gameworld means that some players will dismiss this title as a “walking simulator”, but anyone that can appreciate the immersive experience instead of trying to compare it to something else will find a lot to love about it.
Gameplay: Plenty of exploring to do, but the focus is squarely on the intriguing story.
Graphics: The Unreal engine is put to good use to display some detailed environments.
Sound: Quality voice acting and a haunting soundtrack that matches the melancholic atmosphere of the game
