I like the way the game is graphically presented. It looks like a cool comics. There is also an option to have things you can do something with highlighted or not for more classic experience. I love that this game really shows police work and detective work and it shows that the world is not black and white but rather nasty in many different colors. Your decisions matter and will make some people die or survive or be put in prison or not. I finished the game 2 times to see everything. I also loved that after every episode there were a sum up of all your decisions with a info about statics from USA about a certain problem in society.
There are strange frames on the eyes and mouths of characters so when they talk they look like they were cut into parts that were never properly connected. Also the whole game is rather short and worse it was also cut in parts so you need to buy the game and both DLCs to have a complete game. The intro and outro in each episode makes the game longer than it needs to be.
There were 3 times when text become bugged and was unreadable forcing me to restart the game. I also had one game breaking bug that forced me to restart episode 3. Governor animation in 3rd episode in police department looks like she is a small paper doll and there are dots around her when she moves so it looks like game was made fast and not properly tested. Sometimes your hand when you hold a phone does not mach the hand of your hero and I noticed this because I’m sure my old male cop didn’t have pink fingernails when looking for informations in the dead gangster phone. It looks like 3rd episode was rushed.
The game was cut into 3 short episodes and didn’t sell well enough to make developers create part 2 of the story so buy it only as a whole pack of all episodes on sale to make it worth it.
Overall score 6.5/10
