The rough edges around The Forgotten City's visuals, animations, and overall movement and combat don't overly detract from the game, and the vast majority of bugs and other issues I encountered should be fixed by a day one patch.

Watch this space for whatever Modern Storyteller do next."Ĭhandler Wood, PlayStation Lifestyle: " The Forgotten City is a consistently engaging mystery that I couldn't help but get trapped in.
