+Fantastic game +Tons of customization in terms of characters and difficulty But... -Buggiest game I've played in decades -Yet another dev with a million different digital editions that add little or no value but more than double the price (Is no one else sick of this practice?)
A solid detective adventure with some added Steampunk spice. It lacks some of the traditional adventure game tropes like an inventory, and the rubbing of items on other items to see what sticks, but it's still a joy to play. I also like that it has the option to get the conclusion wrong, though it's fairly obvious which one is the right one (a bit like Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishment). I love the mood of the game and the voice acting is solid, but if I had to pick one niggle, it would be the character portraits. There's just something off about the art style, and especially women look lumpy or have way too pronounced jaws. Either it's a conscious choice with the artist's own style, or it's something that'll get better in future games. TLDR; Great adventure game with some non-standard mechanics for point and click games.
Great game, get it if you don't have it yet. I'd get it at a reasonable price before Beamdog proceeds to poop all over it and triple the price in the process.
