The premise, in the publisher's words
Set in a sprawling, procedurally shifting city drawn from the fantastical world of the Arabian Nights, the tale casts the player as a daring thief with a single, all-consuming ambition: to reach the fabled treasure said to lie hidden at the very heart of a mythical metropolis. But the glittering prize is far from unguarded. The city's winding corridors, sunlit courtyards, and shadowed rooms are riddled with deadly traps and prowled by dangerous enemies, each obstacle standing between the thief and untold riches. Armed with a slashing scimitar and a versatile whip, the intruder must fight, outwit, and scramble ever deeper into the labyrinth, plundering wealth along the way while racing…

What it launched against
City of Brass launched on 4 May 2018, within three weeks of God of War, God of War (2018), Detroit: Become Human and Detroit: Become Human. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 5 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: God of War, God of War (2018), Detroit: Become Human, Detroit: Become Human.
