A sincere--and sometimes corny, in a charming 50s-60s sci-fi TV way--story! Despite being remade in Unreal Engine, it feels like a Bethesda game in the cute ways (bad face animations, sticky player movement, an extensible dialogue tree system) and in the regrettable ways (boring combat, which in this game feels like an unnecessary formality). Content-wise it's short and sweet, and made up of enough great twists to keep you intrigued to see each ending. If you liked Disco Elysium, or even just the clever RPG dialogue of New Vegas, The Forgotten City is for you.
