    It is a very underrated game for me.I was having fun with it.The atory is very mysterious and the investigation is fun.Despite the technical issues it is a good game it is a must play considering the price of the game.

    The game is good, but the locations are very poorly made. We still need a lot of things, but it deserves more points, and the plot is also not flawless.

    Ну, такое. Ожидал большего. Твист удивил. Офигел на титрах, столько людей трудилось над маленькой игрой.

    Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I reinstalled Murdered: Soul Suspect as I hadn't previously completed it before. After an extended play session, I've realised that at first, I didn't give the game a fair crack of the whip.

After an extended play session, I've realised that at first, I didn't give the game a fair crack of the whip. This game is not the best game I've ever played, but it is certainly up there in terms of story. Granted, the game has flaws and maybe isn't the most visually appealing game by 2016 standards, but I appreciated the challenge and the storyline that was presented to me. Finding collectibles to the completionist is always a pretty mundane task, however, the vast majority were found in a normal play through before being mopped up through Youtube. The lack of a mini-map (or any map for that matter) was incredibly frustrating at first, however, this in-turn forced me to pay attention to my surroundings and learn what is a relatively small map. Gameplay was good, but I felt that the main selling point for this game was a gripping and sometimes emotional story that kept me hooked throughout. I'm in the process of completing the final mission, but I have thoroughly enjoyed this game and would encourage others to give it a try. It'll give around 5 hours of a highly engaging story, but far longer for the completionist. Disclaimer: It's a slow, methodical game that may not be for everyone!… Expand

    Critics have been to harsh on this one, I'm not sure why. I didn't actually play the game, I watched a full longplay instead and it was very enjoyable. Much more enjoyable in fact than "get even" which somehow got better review.

La idea puede parecer un poco genérica o aburrida hablando desde el mundo del cine, pero en los videojuegos la propuesta parecía bastante interesante. Al principio te sentís emocionado por saber que va a suceder, pero a medida que vas avanzando en el juego, tanto la historia, como el gameplay y la ambientación se aburrida y repetitiva, haciendo de esta una experiencia la cual quieres que termine lo más rápido posible. Hablemos de los gráficos, los cuales para su época no son los mejores, y a parte tiene los famosos "dientes de cierra", los cuales son muy notables. Las texturas están bien, aunque los modelos faciales nuevamente para su época no son los mejores ni de cerca. La jugabilidad también es escasa y aburrida, los únicos enemigos para matar son una especie de demonios los cuales van a salir repetidas veces con una inteligencia artificial no muy buena. La manera de avanzar en la historia no es del todo divertida, aunque como dije antes siempre está esa curiosidad presente de saber que va a pasar, por más que en el fondo sepas que es una historia genérica. En pocas palabras el juego desarrollado por Airtight Games (estudio el cual lamentablemente cerró sus puertas) se vuelve aburrido y sobre todo REPETITIVO.… Expand

    Мне понравилась. Хороший детектив, интригующая сюжетная часть, развитие персонажей. Это именно, что классический детектив и нужно именно так к нему относиться, особого экшена тут нет.

    Similar to LA Noire. You play as a detective. Gameplay is pretty simple not really challenging. Story is very interesting and good. Investigations are pretty solid as well. Overall great game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not a bad game at all. The controls can be a little wonky when destroying demons, but I've played games with worse controls. The story isn't groundbreaking by any means, but it is good enough to be entertaining. Overall this game is worth a play through.… Expand

    Я в эту игру не могу играть из-за того что персонаж багованный и я ничего не могу сделать. Большое спасибо разработчикам за этот огрызок

    Murdered is a simple investigation game that promise you to never get you bored. It is short, but fun and pretty easy to finish, except the fights with the demons.
    The originality of the idea of being a ghost detective got me hooked on.

    Un gioco sicuramente particolare, anche se dal lato tecnico lascia un poco l'amaro in bocca. La storia riesce a intrattenere per le poche ore che servono per il completamento, la difficoltà è nulla così come la rigiocabilità. Può interessare anche per coloro che collezionano trofei.

    the concept of this game is amazing in my opinion but it is way to short of a game. I enjoyed Murdered and the story, it was interesting and fun but it would last about 10hrs before you finish. If you have not played this game i would definitely recommend giving it a go as although short i think it is still a fun game

    The story is completely forgettable as are the gameplay mechanics. However, it is an easy platinum.

    For the price that I got it, it is worth it, it has a good story and it has its terror, it is very short and that is not to my liking

    This game has flaws, that's undeniable, however, the premise is interesting to get you hooked. It has 2 big flaws however, the first being the "Combat" sections of the game, and the second being the couple skippable collectibles near the end of the game.

    All in all, it's a game that I hope can inspire someone else to work further into the things this game brings to the table.

    This game is like a little story book, it's good, there's mystery, suspense and sometimes a hint of terror when you have to destroy the demons. But the story is a bit boring, the environment is "dead", but I think it's part of the game to refer to the ghostly content, and the characters have no expression, being alive or dead.

But the story is a bit boring, the environment is "dead", but I think it's part of the game to refer to the ghostly content, and the characters have no expression, being alive or dead. The combat dynamics are average, you need to have a strategy to kill the demons, but in general it's pretty easy. There are few puzzles and they are quite easy, not presenting any kind of difficult challenge to get through. You don't have any game achievements to get the collectibles, so you won't want to get the collectibles, mixing with the confusing scenario, where you don't know where to look and you've passed that place. I rate this game as a six, I liked the story but the rest sinned. It's a game to consider to pay in promotion.… Expand

    A best and top game i believe, Ronan's personality (including his sense of humour) and figure connects the game real life to the player.

    If you're looking for a relaxing way to spend a rainy afternoon, Murdered fits the bill, but that's about it.

    I expected Murdered to be an interesting, modern adventure game. Instead I got a very shallow story paired with irritating gameplay mechanics. [08/2014, p.52]

    An interesting concept with half-decent story beats, dragged to hell by shonky puzzles, odd dialogue jumps and bugs that are far more terrifying than the subject matter. [Aug 2014, p.87]
