    There’s no doubting that The Silver Case 2425 is a stylish affair, with two unique and mature stories to sink your teeth into. It’s just a shame that it’s sometimes so dull, with unnecessary scenes that don’t really add anything to the story, and dialogue that is at times nonsensical and others impenetrable. If you have enough patience, you’ll likely find yourself eventually rewarded by The Silver Case 2425, but for many it won’t be worth the arduous slog. In any case, thanks to the portability of Switch, this is perhaps the best way to enjoy this duo of crime-fuelled visual novels.

    If you’ve enjoyed No More Heroes and some of Suda51 and Grasshopper Manufacture’s other releases, you should definitely consider experiencing The Silver Case 2425, with its memorable narrative and excellent music, despite the technical issues on Nintendo Switch.

    These visual novel are both a relic of the past, and not the ideal entry point for newcomers of the genre, but are still dark and fascinating trips in the beginning of Suda 51's acclaimed career.

    The pacing is all over the map, and even at its best it feels more inspired than inspiring, if you know what I mean. In spite of the fact that these are remastered versions, they come across very much as creations of their times and places. You may find something to latch onto here, but it’s just as likely that you’ll be turned off.

    A good yet simple port, the Switch version shines for its portability, while the game maintains its charm even after so many years, despite its crazy narrative.

It is true that the storiesThus, the developers of "The Silver Case 2425" clearly show that the two games are not suitable for every gamer. It is true that the stories are kept very interesting in places. But due to the rather outdated and boring narrative style, the plot of both games feels rather weird. The rather dull dialogues of the individual characters also contribute to this. Gameplay-wise, both titles also seem rather weak and the graphics and sound are also rather average. If you need a new game for your Nintendo Switch again, you can gladly take a look at "The Silver Case 2425". All other gamers should reach for better variants.… Full Review »

    This compilation clearly targets Visual Novel fans and more particularly fans of the drawer scenarios created by Suda 51. These are not gamesThis compilation clearly targets Visual Novel fans and more particularly fans of the drawer scenarios created by Suda 51. These are not games to be put in all hands, at the risk of hearing cries of frustration and nervousness from the part of uninformed players, but if you stick to the proposal, there is no doubt that these two exciting scenarios will remain in your memory as a player.
