This was a really good idea for a game, thought I have to say seems poorly implemented. A city where every building and apartment (up to 15 floors) where every one is enterable and searchable, along with vent access.

Stealth: Sort of works against cameras, doesn't seem to work against the bots that well though.

Vent use: is great, but it's impossible to know what floor or apartment you are at.

Security Cameras hacking is pretty simple, as is lock picking (just get them from the copshop). However security cameras seem to be very limited, especially when examining crime scene footage, and even worse if it's a street crime.

Interviewing Subjects: This is the biggest problem so far. Everyone, I mean everyone is hostile to your questions. Everyone is extremely rude and obstructive, when it should be more neutral. This is where the biggest mistake is I feel. They really could've made it a much better game if they'd made the bots more neutral.

Evidence: Here is where the game shines. The use of a pin board to keep track of all the clues and connections really really is wonderful, and really helps you work out who is who and whose connected to who and what clue. This is the crux of the game.

Biggest problem aside from the interviews, is the repetitiveness of cases. I just solved one case and got the same case again. There's bugs here that I hope will get fixed, I don't know if the devs are updating it or not. If they fix these two issues, this will be an awesome game to have in your library.

Crimes: All crimes are procedurally generated as is evidence. I just wish they'd put a rule in there to make them more diverse from one to the other.

I don't want to put a kyber on this, so I won't give it a negative. It's a good game, but it just needs a little more love.

Definitely DO NOT buy this. My PC is pretty damn good and can play most AAA games maxed out, but this; this is so poorly optimised, I can't even get 10 FPS out of it on Medium! Paradox really screwed up. Play City Skylines 1 instead, that's great.

The game is good, and gameplay is fun right up the the final level where you're supposed to kill the boss and that's where the game breaks and you can't finish it. Sit the throne, black screen. Wake Emily, black screen. Google provided no help, only option was to close the game an uninstall! Used to work fine, now it's broken.

This is a great tycoon game, though since the last update it has problems with workers refusing to work, so jobs never get done. Reloading solves it but you have to go back a fair way to fix it and there's no guarantee it won't happen again.
Aside from that I love it to bits, I have over 570 hours playing it and many large prisons. Good fun. Not as good as it used to be as they seemed to have nerfed the prisoners so they don't kick up like they used to. They used to break metal dectors, electrical and water systems. Now none of that happens.
This is what happens when developers pay too much attention to whiners rather than the non-whiners.

I was looking forward to this. An open world Samurai game! However I was disappointed to find it was more like an open world arena style game. Tight knit extremely fast combat with very little ques to guide you, rather than the fluid combat I'd hoped for.

Undeniably it is stunningly beautiful. Mind numbingly beautiful. However that wasn't enough. Cut scene after cutscene after cutscene. It's like everything is a cut scene, with some walking and bit of fighting in between.

One great touch was the navigation system is sheer genius. Just follow the wind gusts! Brilliant.

If you can get past these negatives, you'll probably like it. I refunded!

Like Detective Stories? Want to be a Detective and actually solve cases rather than be lead around by the nose like in some games? Then this is for you. Brilliant game. I love almost everything about it. The only thing I don't like is the way the game constantly and I mean constantly blows smoke up my arse by NPC's everywhere who all seem to know everything about me.

Massive open world city, lots to discover, and you have to read faces to work out who is telling the truth in interviews, and find the clues. Some are relevant, some are red herrings.

Absolutely must play!

Don't bother with this. It's a walking simulator. I bought it on Epic Games, and have spent 20+ hours playing it and so far have had 3 engagements that lasted all up an hour of gameplay. All the rest is just walking and talking! BORING AS ♥♥♥♥!! There's ♥♥♥♥ all action, you just walk over the same terrain over and over. Go here get this, go there learn that. Go back talk to quest give, combat is very rare! The guns are ♥♥♥♥, always have been in this game.

This game is soooo poorly optimised! The sound constantly lags far behind the visuals. Even on Low Settings. At no point did I ever feel the game was keeping up with my movements. Gun fights were constantly interupted with lag, even though as I said I have a pretty good system and it exceeds the recommended system.

If you're looking for a space sim you're not going to get it here. Space trips are just a loading screen. You get a little space-like action near planets but it's not much.

It is probably the single most poorly optimised game I have ever played. It's performance at Ultra right down to Low was just horrendously bad. It's a pile of crap to be honest and I really really wanted it to be good. Bethesda knows how to make good games, so I'm at a loss as to how they ♥♥♥♥♥♥ this up so much. It's like they let it out the door before it was optimised. How on earth they could say a Recommended System is a Ryzen 5 is just beyond me. You'd need a pretty damn good computer to get any decent play out of this.

Once I disabled FSR upscaling the visuals got a pretty solid 30 fps but the sound was waaay behind the game. Footsteps everythihng, all ambience sounds was basically quiet most of the time, then you'd just get it cut in now and then. For the price it's just over the top. A fairer price would be around $50.00 since it's so bad. Don't pay full price for this. It's ♥♥♥♥!

This was on a Ryzen 7 X570 Aorus Ultra MB with 32 Gb Ram under s Nvideo 1070 8Gb. It should pretty much get a solid 30 fps on 1080p but I was getting between 0 and 30 most of the time with long freezes.

Piece of garbage - Refunded.

Great game, but the SEPIA windscreens drive you nuts. They get so much crap on them, and the line of the windscreen is right where you need to see, and because of the sepia tint on them at 300kph in dappled shadow track you can't see where you need to go. I raced motorbikes, and no race bike had sepia windshields. They were clear. There should also be tear offs for the wind screen and the helmet visor. This one thing will stop you getting really hot record times. For this reason I won't recommend it.
