I recently got a chance to play Case Solved: The London Files on the PlayStation 5 Pro, thanks to a review copy provided by Minimol Games.
You can find my gameplay walkthrough below:
You can also check out my mini review of Case Solved: The London Files below:
Pros:
- Relaxing gameplay with no threat of game overs.
- Text-based logic puzzles.
Cons:
- Lack of detective elements.
Overall:
Case Solved: The London Files is a hybrid game that combines hidden objects with logic puzzles.
For hidden objects, you look for clues around a small map. Talking to people on the scene will give you hints at what to look for.
The main meat of the game, however, is the logic puzzles. After finding all the clues, you will have to deduce who did what. Ultimately, you will determine the main suspect.
The logic puzzles are quite fun, as you will be using a lot of brain power trying to piece together everything. If you managed to find a cat previously when looking for clues, you get a free hint. You also can’t fail at all, so you can submit your answers at will until you succeed.
The only real drawback is the thin plot. Although you play as a detective, you don’t get to interview suspects. Not to mention that the clues you find during the hidden objects section don’t really matter when it comes to deductions. Instead, the clues you see during deductions come out of nowhere without any context.
Overall, Case Solved: The London Files is a fun logic puzzle game as long as you don’t have expectations of it being a deep crime investigation simulator.
