A game which wants you to repeat maps over and over, but with little to add variety to those repeat runs. A game without challenge due to enemies that pose no threat. A game with a reliance on a PvP mechanic which has the potential to wildly swing the difficulty curve. A game which wants you to explore and solve optional challenges, but provides no incentive to do so while also demanding time optimisation of each loop. A game with a story which ultimately goes no where, has no surprises, and shows nothing more than you learn in the first day.

A lot of wasted potential here.

Endless trial and error masquerading as gameplay.

A relatively robust adventure game with an ending choice that really doesn't work. Not the best in the publisher's catalogue, but I would still say it's worth playing through.

A perfectly decent, if somewhat unremarkable experience that doesn't overstay its welcome.

If you liked the last two games you're going to like this one as well as it's more of the same. Same great core mechanics, same terrible time wasting filler surrounding it, and an ending which is the weakest part of the game. I still love them, flaws and all.

Simply the best murder mystery mechanics found in a video game. So long as you're OK with the anime presentation, visual novel style, and fact that the last two hours are going to be an insufferable grind of terrible plotting, you should have a good time.

Fantastic little card game with great interactions, just the right level of class differentiation, a campaign which gives you a good excuse to play the core game but with different rule tweaks, and an AI which is very much able to kick your butt at the highest difficulty. I actually have a lot more hours in this game, but play it more on tablet than PC.

A love letter to the Lucasarts adventures of yore, but with sweet, sweet, British humour.

A short, enjoyable puzzle romp. Don't expect anything revolutionary, but good for a couple of hours.

A game that is one best left to its time. While no doubt it was something relatively fresh and exciting in 2010, in 2022 it suffers from incredibly clunky controls and tedious quick time event gameplay. The voice acting is often weak, and the facial animation has not aged well with many times where it clearly breaks. Once finished, the game will leave you will several unexplained story elements which appear to exist only as cheap red herrings.

At this point, you would be better looking into the Telltale library, games starting from 2012 which took the concept of the narrative adventure and focused on strong characters and dialogue, rather than the tiresome quick time events of Heavy Rain. Potentially the later Quantic Dream games might also fix some of these issues.

The concept of the multiple endings is interesting, but the gameplay would be a chore to replay.
