Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
123 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Separate cases are good and interesting, have some solid plot-turns and interesting pieces, but you have children's wheels, and the game tells you where to find what, making it fool proof.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
96 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I went into this knowing it’s an older game, but what surprised me most isn’t just the gameplay — it’s how clearly the engine influences both performance and design.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals are better than Crimes and Punishments, with more detail and better lighting.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design is enhanced from Crimes and Punishment—which is impressive, considering the previous game already nailed it.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
From technical viewpoint this game was made in the same engine as crimes and punishments which is UE3, but now you have bigger levels to explore and better visual fidelity and a more responsive user interface.
