Fantastic game!! A relatively quick game (only took about 6 hours to run through all the different endings), but I was glued to my seat the entire time and did it all in one day. Absolutely worth playing!
What a fantastic little gem! The writing is very charming, the characters are solid, the story intriguing, and I liked how they played the historical/mythological angle. I really enjoyed the timeloop aspect, too, and I liked how easy it was to build on past loops and ideas.
Also, I'm sure it's been said a thousand times, but wow, it still blows my mind this game started as a Skyrim mod.
One of the best games I've played in a while! Beautiful graphics, story, and gameplay with a historic twist.
Its graphics were a bit off putting to me at first but there's something extremely valuable present in The Forgotten City. The less that is said about it the better. Not everything is as it seems!
This is a fun little game made by a very small group of people and I am happy I experienced it, however I do have to point it out that it is a bit overrated as far as its reception goes, I expected something more complex. This game reminds me of the outer wilds a little bit but if it were much more straight forward. I enjoyed the forgotten city especially for the first 3-4 hours but after that it wasn't all that interesting to me and if not for the super low price tag (I got it for like 6 dollars or so) I would have even considered giving this a thumbs down as it pretty quickly becomes apparent that there is not all that much to discover here.
Anyways, I would still love to see this small team succeed and maybe attempt something similar but much more complex and on a way bigger scale, I think they did have some very cool ideas so it is still intriguing what they can come up with in the future.
Overall, interesting experience but slightly disappointing in the second half.
I genuinely loved this game, it's short but you have so many options of outcomes you'll be willing to play it again and again to find out more story as well as what other paths you could have taken. If you love good story telling, mythology and mystery you'll want to give this game a play through and you wont regret it.
This game is just so good. If you like exploration or narrative games at all, this is a must-buy.
Got the game on sale for ~$6. Definitely worth the money. Very enjoyable experience, although the ending was very... meh. The central mechanic was fun enough that I never got bored, although I do think that it could have been a bit better (near the end, you basically just tell some guy to do the entirety of the quests at the beginning of a loop--not very enjoyable). I had fun though! Good, one session experience.
One of those rare playthroughs that sticks with me long after. Requires more thought than action but it's complex and hardly boring. Clearly created by people who care about details and polish.
8/10, refreshingly different. Despite being a bit rough around the edges, and the intro scene seeming lackluster, there are many interesting design choices and unique concepts in this game. It's mainly about talking to people and trying to figure out different speech options.
Pros:
very creative
unique
no survival crafting
replayability
Cons:
collisions are weird sometimes. especially around trees and small decorative steps.
no action, it's more of a detective roleplay. This isn't necessarily a con, depending on your personal taste.
A great game with a very interesting story! The characters feel real and the time loops play a big role in the game. I also really enjoyed the philosophical questions the game brings up.
My favorite kind of game. A walk down memory lane. Superbly done! Great game to play again and again.
Great game, one of the best I've played this year. Didn't think too much of it when I began playing but the story, premise and characters began to grow on me the more I played. I suppose my first misgivings were due to the fact that I had extremely high and rather misguided conceptions of what the game was going to be, considering it was billed as Skyrim meets Ancient Rome. I really enjoy Skyrim and I'm very interested in Roman history, so I had stratospheric expectations considering the game's reputation - something that was bound to be flattened when I played it.
When I decided to take that game on its own premise (a Groundhog Day style time-travel mystery adventure) and take it on its own merits it really grew on me. I have completed one storyline, but I feel that in the future I'll play it again to try and unlock the alternative routes too.
The game has excellent attention to detail regarding Roman culture. The architecture, clothing and art all reflect Rome of the mid first century. It's great getting to explore in what feels like an authentic representation of ancient Rome. Even the character attitudes are like those of ancient Romans to some extent. The music is evocative, the dialogue is interesting and sometimes funny, the graphics are also good especially for the buildings.
All in all, a game that's really worth playing.
One of the best games ive played
Great story, great replayability
Very cool game, story driven.
I really appreciated it and was good for my burnout from playing games.
hope to see more games for the devs
Very enjoyable. I loved the diving into ancient civilizations and mythology. The story was very enjoyable. I highly recommend this if you're up for a great interactive, well-paced story game.
I played this for the first time when it was a mod for skyrim and i thought it was amazing and very fleshed out then. But now, as its own game, it has reached new heights. The entire story was very intriguing and I honestly played it all in one go, I couldn't stop. This game was phenomenal and the team that made it should be very proud of themselves. I also love that it's not just another action game where fighting is how you get ahead, you have to use your mind and be conscious of everything you do. It promotes that violence is never the answer, unlike other games. I love it.
An excellent experience; the story is well-developed and satisfying, entwining history, mythology, and philosophy directly into the game's primary mechanics. Fans of Outer Wilds will probably enjoy this game, and bearing that in mind, do NOT look up anything about The Forgotten City before you play it.
God, what an amazing game. It's indulgent and self-aware in all of the best ways, genuinely interfacing with time travel and the point of view of all of these disparate characters. Easily one of the best games of the year it came out. I can only hope we get more like it.
I don't know what to say about this game without spoilers except that you explain the Karen meme to a Roman preistess and thats plot important.
A fun game with not too much brain power required.
I quite liked this title, it was a decent and fun play. I can't say I've played any sort of paradox or looping games before, so I don't have much to compare it to. but I enjoyed it nonetheless! I liked how the mechanic worked, I think the creators did a great job with it!
I do like how there are ways to skip dialogue, and rush through the things you've done in a previous timeline with new dialogue options, helps you from getting bored of things quickly. I do however wish the game was longer, or with more to do in it, I liked all of the different characters and their stories and I wish there was more substance to it so we can delve deeper with each one of them.
But I did have a lot of fun playing this one, and cracking down on the Golden Rule and why it became to be. I also love the historical aspects to this one because I am a huge history junkie! I definitely recommend if these genre of games are your cup of tea, and I'd definitely say to give it a chance!!
i finished the game the day i bought it without getting up from my screen. i haven't played such a game that made me feel this good in a looooooong time. it was magnificent in every way really. the story itself was phenomenal, the characters, the little sarcastic jokes in the dialogues, the soundtracks that play while exploring the map, i don't know which aspect i can praise more:((( ending four even made me weep btw. i truly regret not playing this game earlier. and just so you know, this game was created by only three people. this makes this game even better. it was an unique experience, i dont know what to say. GO AND PLAY IT NO MORE READING REVIEWS!!!
What a great game!
There aren't many games that I can't put down once I start em.
I was intrested in what was happening the whole through.
The only thing I would like is more reasons to talk with the characters.
I am really hoping for another game from this studio.
A unique experience absolutely worth playing. The setting, characters, and narrative all tie really nicely together to keep you engaged without giving away too much at first. Youll want to finish all endings of this game once it clicks with you
Absolutely phenomenal, I cannot believe that this was made by such a small team. It does have that indie-game collision jank that you'd expect but the story is sooo much better and so much more well thought out than a few AAA games I have played recently. This game is a lot of fun
Highly recommend to anyone. The environment and story are really well executed. Its feel like im playing another Outer Wilds kind of game.
What a great experience. I'm so glad I saw this on SteamDB and listened to the reviews. Fun game, neat mechanics, and interesting characters. Gonna be on the lookout for more games from this developer for sure.
The Forgotten City pulled me in right away. Curiousity is rewarded, exploration is fun, and most importantly the story is good enough to drive you yearning for the truth.
Definitely a 1 and done game. I don't think what the other 3 endings offer really need another playthrough, unless you REALLY loved the game. For the price even on sale I think it's a little too much. My play time is 8 hours but I assure you 4 were me taking naps in between my first ending. Voice acting is definitely up there. Very limited dialogue(voice work) but what you get is quality.
A truly lovely experience, a bit short though. If you are smart enough you can reach the worst ending in less than 1h. 100% the game can be way longer however.
Unexpected gem! The storyline and gameplay are incredible, and the quality blew me away. The devs nailed it, highly recommend!
One of the best gaming experiences I've had. Fun and intriguing story, and very, very player friendly. I went in blind as per many reviews recommended, and I now recommend the same!
If you ever wondered what it would look like if the team behind Outer Worlds did Outer Wilds, then this game is for you.
Plays like a walking simulator, but is more like someone pulled my favourite gameplay elements out of an Obsidian game so I can just focus on the story and now have to worry about all the combat/stat building/crafting drudgery in my RPG.
Oh my word. I'm not one to typically leave reviews, but this game just knocked it out of the ballpark for me.
The graphics of the city were so beautiful and well-done, I was just in awe. The storyline kept me guessing constantly! I really had no idea what to suspect (and for those who can get to the canonical ending, you'll understand what I mean!). I truly binged this game in the span of two days and found it to be so much fun, and there's still more that I can do in it as well. Makes me want to try the DLC for it too haha! The twists and turns, the random bouts of fighting that are needed, was just enough intrigue without making it fully scary, which is something that I greatly appreciate.
Cannot wait to see what this trio comes up with next!
If you want to get lost in old religions and philosophical thinking this is for you. Exciting game were choices matter and produce different outcomes!
I decided to play this as I read there is only a little action/combat, which I don't usually go for in games - but I surprised myself by actually really enjoying those infrequent elements. They were easy enough not to be stressful and were a welcome change of pace that enriched the narrative. The story was fantastic and full of surprises, and had a properly good ending. Don't read about the game and spoil anything for yourself, just dive in!
Fantastic adventure game. Simple and fun mechanics, a beautiful setting, supportive soundtrack and voice overs, and a unique and compelling story. It is impressive this game was created by such a small team. Highly recommend this game if you need to scratch that single player ancient-discovery-exploration-mystery game itch. Worth every penny, or should i say denari!?! ;)
No spoilers. The setting is SO GOOD. I absolutely LOVE things like ancient Rome/Greece, particularly religious buildings like temples, and this game has got all sorts of that. And when you figure it all out and you pass the White Hallway at the end, aw man the city just becomes so much cooler to be in.
I don't like mistery solving gasmes, but this one is awesome. Don't read anything about this game, avoid spoilers, just trust the positive reviews. This game is GOLD!
I don't usually like story heavy RPGs (Path of Exile is one of my most played games). But I saw this in a Jacob Geller video and it looked interesting and man, it blew my socks off. It's kind of a mini Skyrim set in ancient Rome, and it seems pretty historically accurate.
The writing and voice acting is top notch and it explores some interesting philosophical stuff. I wouldn't say it's incredibly deep, but it's interesting enough and really fun to have these conversations with these characters. And the story is really cool, I don't want to spoil anything but they wove a kind of fourth wall breaking mechanic into it and it works really well. There were a couple of very unexpected twists and the cannon ending is beautiful, I definitely teared up a little at it.
Oh and the game itself is beautiful too, they did a great job on how it looks. It's not photorealistic and not trying to be, but it's realistic enough and it looks amazing. The only criticism I have is the kind of stiff Skyrim-esque face animations, but that's super minor (and they're better than Skyrim from what I've seen). For a small team making their first standalone game, they did an amazing job. It really doesn't seem like the first game these guys have made.
If you like ancient Rome, political philosophy, good stories or just story driven RPGs, I can't recommend this highly enough.
Brilliantly crafted narrative-driven adventure that mixes time loops, moral dilemmas and mythology.
Masterclass Narrative Adventure
The Forgotten City is a brilliantly crafted narrative-driven adventure that mixes time loops, moral dilemmas, and mythology into an unforgettable experience. It’s a game that leaves you questioning not just the choices you make, but the nature of morality itself.
Boy I'm late to this but in essence it's brilliantly crafted narrative/adventure game with Time-loops , tough moral Questions & a layer of mystery.
At its core, The Forgotten City is about exploration and decision-making. You’re thrust into a mysterious, ancient Roman city where breaking a single law triggers divine punishment for everyone. Your job? Solve the mystery, find a way to prevent the calamity, and uncover the secrets of the city—all while navigating a time loop that resets events every time someone screws up.
It's so good, that I feel bad for buying it on sale and not at full price.
This game hooked me in a way nothing had since Baldur's Gate 3 released. The characters were well thought out, the worldbuilding was wonderful, and the story was really enjoyable. The small horror element was mostly skippable (but worth playing through anyway, even for a jumpscare weenie like me), and for the 100% people out there, all the achievements are attainable without sinking insane amounts of time.
I enjoyed it so much I played through the entire story like four times over the course of a couple of weeks. Definitely recommend.
ONE-LINE REVIEW: Time loops, puzzles, multiple endings and engaging story - this is a short, but entertaining game that has some great moments: Recommended
I noticed there's a lot of gushing reviews, as well as some hate, but IMO the game is 'just' Pretty Good (tl;dr below if you want to skip to it).
One one hand, there were some things which come up short.
I felt there were times the game showed its history as a Skyrim mod, as some story elements did not carry over well from Elder-Scrolls based lore in a way that landed as well in a classical-themed game, mainly the revelations about the Big Bad God. I also noticed that sometimes the limitations of a smaller studio were made plain with the game's somewhat limited depth and polish (especially in the story's bread-and-butter dialogue-driven story, with some reasonably obvious dialogue options lacking from some later conversations, and some - but certainly not all - characters being limited to their main story and a single problem. A few more options to ask them about each other could have helped here.
On the other hand, I think the devs certainly deserve credit for putting together a reasonably-polished, generally engaging game.
Everything fits together well, the characters are reasonably developed and very well voice-acted, there are more than a few nice twists, there's a decent amount of Classical World itch-scratching (even if that too is not especially in-depth, it does what it needs to for the game). The core loop mechanic felt quite well implemented, with an elegant in-character mechanic which saves you from tedious repetition, and while you'd be hard pressed to completely screw-up a playthrough, sometimes you just want a decent story and not a punishing trial. There's a very solid, well-executed core concept here.
Sure, some reviews are upset the writing is not at the standards of a sophisticated novel (I agree) or close to, say, Undertale, let's be honest, most game writing fails that test because small companies have to do far, far more than just telling a single, linear written story, and large ones often have too many cooks (if not outright corporate meddling).
Of course I'd love to see the devs come back and take things up a notch with a new game which has more depth of interaction and a finer polish. If they can expand in scope (and perhaps in team size, haha) while keeping the same discipline and focus which allowed them to assemble and ship this game, I absolutely think that's a perfectly attainable goal.
tl;dr: This is a game which punches well above its weight. It's a perfectly fine result for a tiny three-man operation, a fun and decently satisfying way to while away 8-10 hours, and the sort of game and studio which ought to be encouraged.
Passionate story !
I loved it and loved the fact we can reach different endings !
Had to speak multiple times to understand few things but it's quiet simple to handle.
Keep going, love kinda games like that <3
Enjoyable game involving looping back and using what information and/or items you've gained to get through to the next step(s). A nice array of characters to work and converse with, some you'll like and certainly some less savoury types. There are rewards for exploration which is always appreciated.
Handful of different endings to get, and getting through all the achievements is a reasonable ask, if you're into it.
Made by a small development team and I'm looking forward to their next game!
Truly an incredible game. The story is well written and the characters are memorable. The 4th final ending almost made me cry a bit.
Honestly, this is one of the best games I've ever played. I am so impressed by the depth of storytelling and the architecture in this game. The graphics and mechanics might not be the best but that doesn't change the fact that the game is an absolute masterpiece. The fact that how the story took a complete left turn with a simple decision has truly amazed me and encouraged me to solve the problems and reach all of the possible endings. I still can't believe this is a game made by a small studio. 11/10.
