Murdered: Soul Suspect takes players into a whole new realm of mystery where the case is personal and the clues just out of reach.

Murdered: Soul Suspect is a title with many great ideas, but not great execution. Its intriguing story had me hooked from beginning to end and the town of Salam brought much history to its troubled past.The idea of being a ghost was presented well, it’s execution was hindered by too much hand holding and no penalties to the choices and deductions the player makes.

Murdered: Soul Suspect has an interesting plot, an intriguing game world, and a lot of cool game ideas, but a host of little problems drag the experience down. Still, fans of a good detective story might want to check it out, provided they can deal with the game’s inconsistencies.

“Murdered: Soul Suspect takes the clever premise of a ghost detective, and sabotages it with a protagonist as thin and dull as his ethereal specter.”

4/10

With a weak main character leading the charge and some mind-numbingly dull mechanics, Murdered: Soul Suspect has little going for it in the way of exciting gameplay. The story is serviceable, and its overarching mystery is fun to see manifest into something unexpected, but the nuts and bolts are neither well thought out nor compelling. A game like this, where the mechanics fall extremely short, needed a strong story to carry players through, and that's not the case here. The game is by no means broken, save for one or two bugs, it just isn't very fun to play. Much like its protagonist, Murdere...

The opening scene to Murdered Soul Suspect, I could not help but be reminded of the Futurama videogame, in where Fry is killed while trying to obtain a hammer. In this instance this was used to explain the game mechanic of being revived and how you could die in the game but come back, in Murdered Soul Suspect being killed is quite simply that, it is not an explanation of the game mechanic it is just simply an introduction to the game and its many ideas. The whole premise behind Murdered Soul Suspect is really in its name, you have been murdered and so dying at the start of the game is an intro...

Being a ghost, Ronan has a few abilities up his spectral sleeve that he can utilise to make his life a little bit easier. First off, he can pass through almost any object – which makes for some easy traversal – but doesn’t include certain items that have been “marked” by people in Salem’s past. It’s a dumb and easy way to limit the game’s boundaries but it still feels a bit restrictive. Ronan can also reveal items that used to be place somewhere, possess people to hear their thoughts or even just to look at what they’re looking at. They’re simple but useful abilities that take this beyond your...
