Criminal Expert

Overall good concept and story but not recommended in current state Pros: - concept is good and interesting - it's clear that a lot of care was put into the script and directing - good story line Cons: - logic puzzles were not explained clearly and only allowed one opportunity to solve (missing women's form: unclear as to where the information was to be found) - sliding puzzle did not fit in with the rest of the game - evidence matching: got 4 correct pairs and somehow we failed - lost save information after completing the sliding puzzle - confusing dialogue options (might be due to translation?)

Criminal Expert is a game that seeks to be a live action Ace Attorney case, hearing what the characters have to say and finding out the truth when putting this together with the evidence you collect from the police database and what you find while out investigating. It does not succeed in this goal. Interrogations are largely unimportant since they can be skipped. Also, they're in Polish - and the English subtitles are often riddled with grammatical errors are sometimes wholly missing. But even if these issues weren't present, interrogations don't offer a way to disprove statements by presenting opposing evidence, so you have to take everything they say to be the truth since you won't have acquired the truth of the matter from crime scenes. This is because the occasions when you're out of the precinct offer a strange mini-game for acquiring evidence. For instance, in Justyna's apartment, you are searching for three clues that are linked together. This is amongst perhaps a dozen clues...

It's hard to fully recommend this game, and I bounced back and forth for several minutes before deciding that you should TRY this game, IF you're into FMV detective games. Pros: Interesting crime, decent acting, and the bouncing between evidence in a timed environment can be fun. Cons: There's no replaying anything, and when you die, you go back to the beginning. Skipping dialogue and cutscenes either take too long, or aren't allowed, and this game expects you to play it MANY TIMES to get all the clues, endings, details, etc. It doesn't explain to you the gameplay, and the first time I played I had no idea that some interviews or phone calls are time sensitive to your choices. There is however a fantastic formula here, and I think we some refinement and listening to their audience, this developer may have an interesting series on their hands.

Good way to learn Polish and enjoy a decent crime investigation with decent acting! Where are my pregoies though?

I don't understand all the negative comments, this game is great. I really enjoy playing it so far. IRL you are not hand fed any clues, motives or evidence. One has to work everything out for themselves. It is not too difficult to understand what is going on. Give the game a chance. It is not perfect but it is a good mind puzzler.

Lame. Unoriginal, appears to be a non-heartfelt copy and paste... a random solitaire game that might crash on you, when it unexpectedly tries to use powershell... a random "create a free comic book, and likely ideas from others. I wished I had played this earlier. Certainly a refund candidate.
