5 Reasons The Forgotten City Is The Perfect Doctor Who Video Game

5. Time Travel

Let us get the massively obvious one out of the way first. The Forgotten City features the ability to travel through time, but much like Doctor Who, it’s not necessarily as simple as just hopping back and forth.

After looking through some ancient ruins in the modern-day, you are cast back into ancient Rome, but alas, without a trusty TARDIS at hand it looks like you are stuck there, for now.

As well as the journey back to the past, The Forgotten City utilizes a time loop mechanic allowing you to live out your Bill Murray Groundhog Day fantasies and replay the same day over and over again.

It may sound confusing at first but it is all relatively simple, especially compared to other games such as 12 Minutes, which throws you into an incredibly anxious small space of time with no real explanation of what’s going on.

The Forgotten City encourages you to take your time. Literally. A lot of the puzzles and answers cannot be solved or revealed on the first day, but the game does a great job of keeping you on the right path without feeling overbearing.
