    I just finished the game today, it was a pleasing experience. It has some issues such as the gameplay that is a bit clanky, the fights are not that cool, and you dont have a lot of abilities. Some technical issues too. Apart from that, the metroidvania concepts are well made, the exploration is very pleasing, the ambiance of the game is awesome, you really feel the lovecraft setting andI just finished the game today, it was a pleasing experience.

    Plot Twist put out a solid Metroidvania puzzle game, but not a foolproof one.

    HISTORIA (7/10)

    La historia te hace querer continuar la aventura, pero a veces se hace un poco desorganizada al tratarse de un juego metroidvania. Busca tratar temas profundos, pero no logra desarrollarlos por completo, debido a la poca información que nos otorga, la mayoría en base a los objetos que obtenemos y cortos diálogos. Es importante también la mala traducción al español en    HISTORIA (7/10)

    La historia te hace querer continuar la aventura, pero a veces se hace un poco desorganizada al tratarse de un juego metroidvania. Busca tratar temas profundos, pero no logra desarrollarlos por completo, debido a la poca información que nos otorga, la mayoría en base a los objetos que obtenemos y cortos diálogos. Es importante también la mala traducción al español en general del juego, hasta en el caso de un puzle que te hace resolverlo justo al contrario.

    EXPLORACIÓN (10/10)

    En cuanto a la exploración, cumple todo lo que se espera de un juego metroidvania, con un mapa complejo y de gran tamaño, que debe ser explorado con esmero y con poca guía por parte del juego. Además, presenta puzles y mecánicas de progreso en la exploración muy originales.

    COMBATE (5/10)

    Presenta muchas mecánicas, pero quedaran en su mayoría olvidadas a los 5 minutos de su presentación. Resulta algo pesado, además de que los enemigos se quedan encajados con elementos del entorno en numerosas ocasiones.

    RENDIMIENTO (5/10)

    Durante el transcurso del juego, me he encontrado con diversos bugs, varios de los cuales han terminado con el reinicio del juego, así como caídas de fps y malos cargados gráficos. A pesar de que no han frustrado demasiado mi experiencia, necesita algunos retoques, al menos en pc.

    DISEÑO (9/10)

    La estética del juego es muy atrayente, así como los diseños de los menús y las cinemáticas.

    CONCLUSIÓN

    Recomiendo dar una oportunidad a este juego, especialmente si eres fan del género. Aunque no se trata de un juego perfecto, tiene algunos detalles que lo hacen único, además de una duración bastante buena (entorno a las 10h), que terminan por eclipsar la frustración por ciertos errores que encontramos.    … Expand

    Visually stunning Metroidvania that manages to be as entertaining as it is frustrating. And while it was entertaining for the most part, it ultimately failed to deliver a satisfying conclusion.

    The Last Case of Benedict Fox is a macabre metroidvania that is inconsistent at all levels. The gameplay is rough and imprecise, while the voice acting is, depending on the character, a mix of both horrible and amazing. Overall, the game fails to establish a definitive tone or direction. I expected so much more, and I genuinely hope that at least the gameplay aspect of the game will be fixed and improved in the future.

    The Last Case of Benedict Fox could have been a great game if it was more understandable, straightforward, free-flowing, focused, polished – and less frustrating. As it stands, the main draw is the audiovisual style and the mysterious setting.
