    Best Served Cold doesn’t revolutionise the genre, but it does tell an incredibly compelling story about class, power, and people desperately trying to find their way in a world that’s not that different from our own. It’s not perfect, but it’s valuable nonetheless.

    Best Served Cold is a detective game with fairly limited means, but it nonetheless makes the most of them to weave a compelling story of alternate-universe Prohibition. Excellent, natural-feeling diverse representation is a bonus on top of world-class world-building, keeping things light on detail but giving just enough info that the player feels the reality of the world outside the speakeasy. Just don't expect an explosive finale, and have patience for a few bugs.

    Best Served Cold has its merits as a story, but its poorly built gameplay keeps the title from being more than a mere curiosity. More time in the fridge would have made these fine drinks ice-cold — the final product, however, highlights its flaws more than anything else.
