Murdered: Soul Suspect

Regarding Bugs and Technical Problems:

  • There are tons of game breaking bugs. For example: Sometimes my character is stuck and I simply cannot move anymore (has happened twice in like 6 hours of playtime). One cutscene was also not triggered when it was supposed to and I had to pull a backup save from my USB stick to get this fixed. Stuff like this may not happen. Then there are also problems with side quest characters disappearing from the game. One second they are there, I walk around a bit and when I come back they are gone from the game. How to hell does this get through the QA (Quality Assurance) department at Square Enix?
  • Sometimes Collectibles keep glowing after picking them up. I think the way it's supposed to work is that they stop glowing, thus indicating you've picked them up (which works like 75% of the time, but some of them seem glitched or whatever).
  • There is audio missing from half the dialogues in the game (or the audio mix is seriously messed up, I dunno... but I just cannot hear half the characters talking at all). Absolutely ridiculous. Even subtitles disappear sometimes.
  • The graphics look like PlayStation 2 and the frame rate is unbearable which makes the game seem very laggy. At what frame rate does this run? 10fps?? Lots of screen tearing too, yay! Not to mention that the areas are super small. Given how ugly it looks and how small the areas are, the PS4 should have no trouble getting a flawless framerate. There are also texture pop-ins which makes it even worse (only happens shortly after leaving the loading screen, but still annoying). No clue what the developers did there.
  • Navigating through the world is very hard. Even though this is an "open world" game (not really, but it's advertised as such) there is no freaking map. It makes finding collectibles really confusing. The most ludicrous part about this, is that the Limited Edition comes with a digital collectible map that you can view in your web browser. And yet the game itself doesn't have a map? Come on, who to hell thought of this... seriously.
Regarding Gameplay:
  • It's very boring. The game basically throws all clues at you and there is no form of investigating to it. A 5-year old could beat the game in an afternoon without having to use any common sense at all.
  • The enemies (demons) are the most boring and least intelligent enemies ever created for a game of this generation. They fly around on predetermined paths, you can run up to them and press R2 for a kill. Where's the challenge in that? They could just as well have left them out.
  • Being a Ghost feels rather pointless if half the walls in the game are blocked by some weird spirit magic. Of course they have to make barriers so you don't fall off the map, but there is a lot of crap blocking your way which takes away the fun of having ghost powers.
  • And I'm not sure in which time this is supposed to play (I think present day), but the town looks like it had just been bombed. There are broken walls everywhere and it looks like after a world war 2 bombing.
  • The side quests (there are 4 of them) take one minute each, making them pretty irrelevant.
  • Beating the story takes 4-5 hours. Here in Germany games are expensive, I paid €60 for this ($81 USD). Doesn't seem fair for 4 hours of playtime. There is nothing else to do after beating the game. Not even free roam.
  • Time for platinum is approximately 8 hours if you use a collectible guide.
  • There are 242 Collectibles in the game, all sitting right next to each other. They are divided into 17 (!) sets of collectibles, each one giving you one trophy.

I actually wanted to work out some video guides for this game, but at this point I am seriously re-considering if I want to spend any more time with this at all. What a shame, this game could have had some real potential. Gotta give it a 1/10, most disappointing thing I've ever bought.

This is the interactive map for pre-ordering*. It reveals "everything" from clues to side missions to collectibles.

(*will be sold separately after release)

 

Thanks for making mystery game. :rolleyes:

Bought the game. Played for 2 hours non-stop without getting bored.

 

The only downside is that there is no inbuilt map and sometimes it gets confusing but Other than that liking the game so far.
