    It is good on everything except its control. Which is lagging and disgusting.

    Yes, I know that the game is meant to be played on PC, or it is largely based on that premise. But the experience on switch is that you have a freakish touch inhibitor that half worked and lagging at the entirety of the game, and it is not working because: A. you are expecting a proper platformer, which    It is good on everything except its control.

    A. you are expecting a proper platformer, which they cannot deliver.
    B. the protagonist has the slowest running speed in half of the traversing areas with no visual cue, making the pace lagging to another extent.

    So if you are asking about the writing, intention, the setup and finish, and the general storyline, it is a wonderful game with an 11/10 high score.

    But the control is so bad and not remotely self-contained that I would give it a -7 to compensate.

    So yes. Don't buy it on the switch. It is a good mobile game, but that is all it is.    … Expand

    I definitely do not recommend it

    At first glance, this game may seem great, especially the graphics may be appealing. Unfortunately, after a while, the game begins to erase this impression with poorly written jokes and a not very well told story.
    All the time you could feel that the game is trying to be fun, unfortunately just trying.

    I don't know who this game is for. It's pretty, the added voice acting is good quality, but the game play appears to be for children while the content is occasionally clearly not for kids (mentions of characters father's cheating on their wives, etc) honestly i bought this game for three dollars and while i won't say the work out in isn't worth it, i haven't gotten.

    If you loved Detective Pikachu, you're going to love Jenny LeClue. [Issue #49 – November/December 2020, p. 20]

    Exceptional presentation elements bolster excellent voice acting and writing, and the result is a mystery experience that is both accessible and hard to put down. The puzzle quality could be a little higher and the game did freeze a couple times (autosaves are frequent, fortunately), but the memorable characters will definitely stick with you after you close the book on this one. Like a good novel, Jenny’s (and Arthur’s) story is a real page-turner, and it’s well deserving of being added to your Switch library.
