Sept. 2024

I got this game after growing tired of the long and endless open world games with little to no story/acting and I wanted something short and sweet. I’m a big fan of the noir detective genre and Cyberpunk/Sci-Fi and I don’t think that combo has been explored enough in gaming. Nobody Wants to Die was a pleasant surprise and executed this mashup of genres extremely well. The graphics rival that of AAA games and the lighting and set pieces are just stunning. The world building was incredibly well done and the neo-1940s style was something I never knew I needed but I loved it! The soundtrack perfectly encapsulated the 1940s noir atmosphere despite being set in this futuristic nihilistic universe. But while I have nothing but praise for graphics, atmosphere and world building, which all get 10/10 from me, the gameplay gets a big fat 0. Gameplay is mostly non-existent and consists mostly of walking up to a highlighted objective and interacting with it. I’m not given the freedom to explore crime scenes and solve the case of my own accord but instead the game holds my hand every step of the way. Even though there is a separate menu to pick and use your various gadgets, I never needed to use it once because interacting with the objective would bring out whatever gadget I needed to use automatically. Sadly I felt like too much agency was taken away from the player in what could’ve been a compelling detective game. This also affected the story negatively since it’s impossible to fail solving the case since every clue has to be found at the crime scenes, and pieced together on the “evidence board” before progressing any given chapter. You cannot miss a clue and you cannot get anything wrong, causing different outcomes. Instead arbitrary dialogue lines is what can and will lock you out of getting the “good” ending. After playing through a second time, I can say both endings are extremely disappointing for what was otherwise a fantastic experience. Despite the caveats, I would highly recommend this game to anyone interested in a good story with fantastic acting, writing and world building in a beautifully crafted and unique universe. If you’re remotely interested in the genre it’s a must have but I would say get it on sale. I hope to see more from this developer in this universe because it’s unmatched!

Before you buy: This is a detective story, not so much a detective game. It's very much on rails. But if (like me) you're a sucker for rainy noir cities and noir detective voiceovers, go for it.

Cyberpunk's Braindance if they where actually interesting and engaging.

Do not come expecting a true detective game. The detective elements are all on rails, you just walk around clicking on what you're told to, then you can put it all together using trial and error at no penalty. This is a walking simulator with a handful of flavour choices. There are some big moral choices to make, but they don't appear to add up to anything at the end. All that being said, it is a nice walking simulator. Lasted me about 6 hours.

*First of all i would like to mention that this game isn't for everyone.* People who love Neo Noir Detective story telling with slow paced progression this is the game for them, it has Batman style detective elements to it where we the player uses different unique gadgets to solve and progress crime scenes and simultaneously talking to another agent where we have to pick dialogues smartly which led to different outcomes in the cases so yes it's not linear completely. The game lets to interact and reconstruct the crime scenes in a very unique kind of way which i really enjoyed and solving the first case was a great experience. The protagonist also talks quite a lot so guys who despise too much talking avoid this one. Lastly i would say gamers who really enjoyed SOMA and FIREWATCH buy it as it's a beautiful story rich thriller set in a future metropolitan city of Manhattan, USA.
