    What can say? Pretty "meh" in my opinion. I tried it and it was like "whatever"

I don't like this. It would be simple to have Auto Text Advance as an option, so that people who want it, like me, can have it, and people who don't want it, don't have to have it. So I stopped playing. If it had Auto Text Advance, I would have played it more and given it more of a chance, but with all the other great games I can play, this situation of lots of text and no Auto Text Advance means this game is a low priority for me.… Expand

    Paradise Killer offers a highly unique experience with interesting characters and a heavily detailed mystery to follow. However, its needlessly convoluted story and writing may deter some players from diving in.

    While Paradise Killer seems like a detective adventure game, it’s not impossible to beat the game without solving the main mystery at all. The game’s climax plays out in a court session, which the player can engage in at any given point. But in order to unveil the true story, you will need to collect countless pieces of evidence and talk to many different characters. This means that you will need to work your way through an inconveniently designed open world, and I often found the game’s scenario hard to swallow. That being said, from quirky character design to Japan-inspired locales and a Vaporwave-like soundtrack and UI, the game’s surrealistic atmosphere is well worth a visit.

    An investigative adventure that actually makes you feel like a detective, Paradise Killer blends surreal world-building, vibrant art, clever writing, and rock-solid open-world gameplay to create an experience you won’t soon forget.
