Well that ending escalated fast. Like damn, did someone forget they needed to wrap up that plotline and rush to add an extra chapter? The rest of the game was interesting enough though. And you get to throw them bowls!

Things I liked:

  • deduction segments
  • menus are well-organized, lots of clues and data for you to mull over during the long loading screens

Things I didn't like:

  • bad stealth segments
  • bad action segments
  • bad mini-games
  • random quick-time events that are very poorly signaled
  • gimmicks, gimmicks, gimmicks
  • didn't care for how the story played out
  • didn't really care for this take …

  • didn't really care for this take on Sherlock and co. (they're... dull?)
  • they want you to connect each bit of evidence together in a mind chart thing, but so much of it feels rather arbitrary so "solving" the case doesn't feel all that satisfying

As far as I can tell, a huge chunk of this game is built around the idea that the Mayans had WAY too much time on their hands.

Game completed with all achievements on Xbox one.

Ludicrous loading times, decent enough game.

Beat during free trial of xbox game pass. I started on Normal difficulty and put it down to Easy within the first few minutes when I noticed that Normal put a stupid time limit on sizing people up. I did not enjoy this game and I have a hard time figuring out just who this type of game is made for. On the one hand the overall story is interesting and I enjoyed the detective work; reconstructing events, searching for evidence, interrogation and deductive reasoning. Reminds me of L.A. Noire in a good way. But the rest of the game is complete garbage; the inane mini games and the piss poor action sequences. I think it is telling that Easy difficulty allowed you to skip many of the gameplay mechanics and I skipped about 95% of the skippable stuff. Most of the stuff that could not be skipped was truly obnoxious with the worst one being by far the part where you have to run from a guy shooting at you.

*GRABBY HANDS*

Although, action sequences mean I'll co-play it with someone who can handle those. I'll just get frustrated at combat interfering with my point and click adventure :P
