    If you enjoy the noire genre, do yourself a favor and pick this up. Dim the lights, pour yourself a glass of your poison of choice (of course, bourbon would be my recommendation ;) and just let yourself fall into an entrancing story.

The outstanding art design, the moody soundtrack and the sharp writing add up to create an experience that any fan of Telltale, LA Noire or the latest Sherlock Homes games will surely enjoy.

    Of course, this is an indie game, and some rough edges are to be expected: some animations could use some work, there are some "invisible walls" in some scenes... still, that's just nitpicking, and there is nothing that really detracts from the overall experience.

    So, in short: highly recommended, and looking forward to the next episode!    … Expand

    My sentiments are pretty much the same as NemoZon, aside from the poison though, I respect my liver so I'll take the OJ thanks.

    To shed some light on the history of this title, it started out life as a free game called 'THE LAST DANCE' by looser team and now it has had some spit & polish applied as an episodic Steam serial.

    When I first started playing the art style reminded me primarily of Frank Miller's Sin City, and the story beats played along to that kind of tone & other like-minded projects like Sucker Punch I suppose. The game starts out with simple interactive storytelling, walk there, click that, then there is a little on-rails shooting followed by more walking clicking and investigating sort of akin to Condemned 2 or Murder Soul Suspect, whereas you can't really go wrong but you still go through the procedure of examining items etc.

    The best thing about Blues and Bullets is the engaging plot bolstered by the sharp writing & sardonic sense of humour which grabs you by the throat and drags you into the proceedings. The striking art style, again, much in the vein of Sin City, is quite professionally done, the character models resemble a good quality Max Payne 2 mod and I don't have any genuine complaints therein.

    Mosey on over to Steam and find out whether the Dame is loaded or not, I for two have baited breath for the next episode!    … Expand
