✦ AI summary

Sinister City is a short puzzle game with an absurdist B-movie vibe that some find memorable, but most players criticize for illogical puzzle design and a nonsensical story that fails as either serious narrative or effective parody. While the game is playable start to finish and occasionally enjoyable, reviewers note that puzzles often lack clear logic and solutions can be frustrating to discover, though they become trivial once the intended solution is known. Players suggest it's only worth experiencing for achievement hunters or collectors willing to overlook its shortcomings.

It’s worth playing through once, although some of the puzzles are completely illogical.

Worked from beginning to end including achievements, with the one exemption of backing to main menu when fixing the broken mirror.

The story is very short and pretty nonsensical. As some other reviews have said, it seems like it's trying to be a parody. Unfortunately, if that's the case, it's not funny enough and to justify the absurdity. It just comes off as bad. Most of the puzzles aren't difficult, but you may often find yourself stuck because you can't figure out what you're expected to do. Once you realize what the game wants (or find out through a guide) the puzzle becomes easy again. I can't think of a single puzzle that I'd consider satisfying. On the other hand, it's also $0.99 and fairly memorable in a B-movie kind of way. I'd say don't buy it unless you're a game collector, achievement hunter, or trading card collector. It's far from the worst way to spend a dollar, but you can also probably find better value with very little effort.

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
