First I thought it was a joke, an over-hyped indie junk. But something kept me coming back and then it clicked. I got it. And I was hooked. Beyond all the vaporware weirdness hides a compelling detective game full of twist and turns. Once you start to unravel the deep & dark mysteries of the island(s) and its bizarre inhabitants you just can't stop playing. You just have to find out what the f is going on here. Paradise killer is more than a masterpiece, it's a piece of art.… Expand

Its an open-world detective game that doesn't hold your hand for a second. It lets you wander around this incredible setting to find or miss clues as you go and then you decide when you've figured it all out and take it to trial. The accusations and conclusions are your own.
   
   The setting itself is wild and deeply thought-out, with graphics that are as strange, beautiful, horrifying, and cool as the world they're portraying. Plus, a dope soundtrack.
   
   There should be no hesitancy in picking up and playing this game.… Expand

Also, the characters are interesting and the mechanics (finally) will let you feel like a "true" detective.
   
   If I had to describe this game with just two words I would say: "pure creativity". That is really great, but sometimes there are so many concepts and new ideas that it can be a bit overwhelming. Also, I think that the ending could have been better, showing your relationships with the characters based on your dialogue options.… Expand

Using an open-world with hidden rooms and passages to find clues in order to solveThis title truly sets a new standard for detective games. Using an open-world with hidden rooms and passages to find clues in order to solve an excellent mystery (even just on its own) was a fantastic idea and executed almost flawlessly.
   
   Creativity and worldbuilding oozes from this game's story, characters, and (of course) world to explore. So much so, in fact, that I fear it may be too overwhelming for the first couple of hours of a blind playthrough. I would recommend someone who has beaten this game give you, or you yourself look up, a quick backstory to the world of Paradise Killer first so that you can focus on the mystery without being busy wondering what the heck you're even playing first.
   
   I very much appreciated this game not holding your hand when finding clues and solving each mystery, not to mention giving the player the ability to essentially end the game anytime they wish once they are satisfied with their investigation. This really helps the journey feel like your own, since you basically choose what ending you get as well as the fates of everyone left on the island. The journey is definitely where the game's strength is, however, as the epilogue to this mystery is overall a bit underwhelming considering its grande finale.
   
   Absolutely worth every cent of your $20 and I can't wait for more adventures with the Investigator.

It embraces the idea of getting lost, acquiring Blood Crystals (the in-game currency), and gathering numerous seemingly "insignificant" items, each with a brief descriptive passage. While it may initially feel inconvenient to spend tokens for fast travel and other amenities, the game provides audio hints to aid your search, so simply embrace exploration and don't fear exhausting your resources.… Expand

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