    I recommend the game if you like walking sim games. It's a bit difficult to describe the game, but it's a fantastical interpretation of ideological battles that have left the world in a post-apocalyptical state, and you are an observer exploring this world, and trying to make sense of the stories that are left behind based on what you see, hear, and read.

    Pros: - visually this is    I recommend the game if you like walking sim games.

    Pros:
    - visually this is stunning.
    - highly detailed and varied environments, that feel "lived in"
    - game has a feeling that much thought and care went into development. It has heart.
    - runs on Windows XP!

    Cons
    - the philosophy and amount of reading, especially early on is a bit "dense." The game didn't make much sense to me at first, but as the game progressed this became less of an issue. So push forward.
    - Be aware that the world is not interactive. You will explore and view the world, but you won't be interacting with it much, beyond opening doors. This can be frustrating at first, at least until you understand how things work.

    So yes, I recommend this one for fans of walking sims, but be aware that it's heavier on reading than you're likely expecting, and it may be difficult to understand at points - especially early on because your motivation might not be sufficient to want to read pages of text without context.    … Expand

    Сюжет немного понял - он на 8. Графика - 7. Геймплей: бродишь, открываешь/закрываешь двери, приближаешь камеру если хочешь. Прыгать можно, но зачем - всё ровно не можешь никуда запрыгнуть - 6.

    The longer I played The Old City, the more I kept hoping that it would end sooner than it did. While each chapter can be completed in about ten minutes or less, the lack of involving content and Jonah's unbearable droning made it all feel much longer.

    Yet another sorry first-person walker with a convoluted, rubbish story pretending to be something deep and valuable. [02/2015, p.53]

    The Old City: Leviathan is good only for one thing. Leave it running on your computer and go to sleep. Let your friends think that you’re philosophizing all night long.
