A good game with a extremely great presentation and a couple of pleasant playable features. It has some issues –difficulty lowered and very few additions– but it is a very interesting option for those who like graphic adventure games.
If you like point and click adventure games with a strong narrative,
Red Johnson's Chronicles is definitely a game you should check out. If
you are fond of detective novels you will find several well known
elements the game manages to make its own. The caveat being that the
puzzles desperately need more variety and you will often get stuck on
your way to the next clue.
Best not leave your fingerprints on this one. [Dec 2012, p.83]
Rather like last year's Amy, Lexis Numerique have created in Red Johnson's Chronicles: One Against All a game that appears to hold much promise, only to be let down by a ham-fisted implementation of the game mechanics. While it's nowhere near as bad as that game, One Against All's annoying puzzles and clumsy interface too often suck the joy out of progressing through its pulp plot, making it impossible to recommend to even the most committed of adventure game fans.
A puzzle game in a noir setting that sadly turns out pretty bad. The characters are flat and without personality, there's a lot of trial and error puzzles and the story is nowhere near interesting.
You're better off just buying a puzzle magazine at the airport.

Summary Red Johnson's Chronicles is an action adventure/puzzle game that is played out in the style of a television crime show like Professor Layton meets CSI. In the game, players take on the role of Red Johnson, a private investigator on the streets of a city where the crime rate is skyrocketing. Players must use clues, solve puzzles and quest...
