    If you’re a fan of mysteries, Murdered: Soul Suspect would be a worthy purchase.

    This is a game that needs to be approached with the right mindset in order to be fully and properly understood. Murdered is an interactive movie with a story straight out of the best 90's b-reel supernatural horror flicks that dominated the video store of an era long bygone. The challenge level is extremely low but the mood and nighttime atmosphere the game evokes are hard to deny. Destined for Steam Sale must-buy status, Murdered is a game that will engage you and take you back to a simpler time, even as it celebrates its b-movie heritage and paper-thin actual gameplay.

    The game gets an A for effort, but unfortunately the same can't be said of the core gameplay mechanics, which are dull and repetitive. The storyline is engaging, but other than that there's not much to write home about. [Aug 2014]

    By no means is Murdered: Souls Suspect one of the best titles of the year, but it's one of the most likeable ones.

    There’s a fun game to be had with the right mix of these elements — ghosts, crime-solving, a troubled cop and a serial killer — but Murdered: Soul Suspect just isn’t really it.

    A less than successful attempt at what could have been a novel concept. [Aug 2014, p.57]

    Lacking in meaningful challenge, Murdered: Soul Suspect fails to deliver on its promising premise at every step. [Sept. 2014, p.70]

But once I started playing, I got pulled into it's great story and fun game-play elements. It's not quite an open-world game, yet it's not linear either. It's kind of like L.A. Noire meets The Longest Journey: Dreamfall. The game isn't perfect, but it's the best game experience I've had this year and that's all I care about.… Expand

I got this game free with my LG monitor. I started it just to get the four cards. To be honest I wanted to alt - tab it, but say, what the heck. I'll give it try... And I soaked into it so badly. The collectibles are so worth finding. Extra stories, small side quest, it's all truly worth finding out. The whole main story is epic for me. Also heard about some technical issues. Not even once I had a problem. Great game!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall Premise: Solve a supernatural mystery murder…your own, in fact.

    Graphics and Sound: The cinematic experience looks great in most aspects as do many character models. However, your own character doesn’t look as unique and the surroundings often feature the same bland color palette. The voice-work is pretty spectacular whereas the actually music is minimal and the ambiance sounds convincingly haunting.

    Playability and Entertainment: The gameplay isn’t as well-handled as the story itself but it gets the job done. The story offers most of the entertainment as it is an interesting experience and somewhat of a better-quality version of something akin to Deadly Premonition mixed with Heavy Rain.

    Replay Value: Moderate.

    I'm recommending at sale price. For five dollars, it's worth a play through in 6-7 hours.

    It is a decent story, better than a decent amount of stuff on TV. Nice twists, good ending. Not spectacular, but pretty good.

    Graphics are also decent. No Ethan Carter or The Witcher 3, but pretty good.

    The voice acting is also solid. I've seen worse b-movies for sure.

    That is kind of this game. Solid, but certainly not spectacular. A fun little romp that is the perfect length for it's story. It doesn't overstay its welcome but I definitely wouldn't replay it either.    … Expand

It certainly has charm and some style to it, but a lacking gameplay that tries and fails to fill your time with pointless enemies and a very lukewarm mystery cripple it. If you absolutely love ghosts, detectives and a dash of horror in your stories, much like myself, you will probably get enjoyment from it but don't expect to be floored anytime soon.… Expand
