    6.5 - Haven't finished it because it barely kept my interest. Although it is a pretty solid point and click. Hotel Dusk/Last Window is better, but if I had to recommend FDC, I'd probably say give it a shot.

    This classic piece of Nintendo history lives up to its promise of an engaging and thrilling mystery, but the gameplay can sometimes feel too dated. [Issue #4, p.54]

    If you're a fan of visual novels, adventure games and/or mysteries, I think you'll enjoy what Famicom Detective Club has to offer. Just be prepared for the gameplay to test your patience! [Issue #53 – July/August 2021, p. 19]

    I don’t think anything is gained by playing either Famicom Detective Club that can’t be gained by watching a playthrough because the puzzles are at best throwaway and at worst barely present. These are inherently flawed games, but if somehow the idea of slogging through menus isn’t a turn off there are absolutely two great, down to Earth murder mysteries to be experienced here.
