Looking for some games where it feels like you’re actually trying to solve something with the clues and secrets you uncover. For example, Disco Elysium actually made me feel like a detective despite how wacky and surreal it could be.
I haven’t played LA Noire yet but that’s on my list. Anything else I should check out. TIA!
Tales of the Neon Sea is a nice cyberpunk adventure based detective title.
Gemini Rue is similar but more dark and in the tone of Blade Runner.
Sherlock Holmes: The Devil’s Daughter is another really great title, although its more of an overarching story told during/through the various cases.
Call of Cthulhu is a detective story set in Lovecraftian horror. Really great endings.
The Sinking City is an open world detective story set in Lovecraftian horror. Gameplay outside of the detective aspect is not great but does its job.
