The Forgotten City does something rare: it makes you want to start over the moment you finish.

The community data backs that up. On the "wish you could experience it for the first time again" dimension, it lands ahead of 87% of games. That's its highest score by a wide margin. Narrative holds up reasonably well too, sitting in the upper third. But hook, immediate fun, and visual style all land near the bottom, in the lowest 5%. This is not a game that grabs you in the first ten minutes.

For an adventure RPG, that's an unusual profile. Most games in the genre score on enjoyment and replayability. Here, it's the overall impression left behind, not the moment-to-moment experience, that carries the weight.

Who is it for? Players who enjoy dialogue-heavy mysteries, moral choices, and a well-written story will get a lot out of it. If you need strong gameplay hooks or compelling visuals to stay engaged, you might not make it far enough to see what the fuss is about.
