I’ve picked these three as the best examples of crime-solving games that are narrative based, solely driven by an unfolding story as you investigate the case. These games would be ideal for anyone looking for a juicy mystery game to get their teeth into!
Chosen for their substantial amount of gameplay, realistic storylines, satisfying conclusions, requiring thorough (even painstaking – for real dedicated detective fans – where you can really get your money’s worth!) sifting of clues and following up of leads.
If you prefer more puzzle-solving and less reading I’ve listed some great recommendations for games that really excel in driving you, as the detective through the case by cracking puzzles, ciphers and codes instead.
I have included below details of how these top 3 picks allow you to flex your sleuthing muscles with their game play, who would get the most enjoyment out of these narrative-based games and if they work as solo play games or better in a small group. As well as suggestions for alternatives for mystery-solvers who prefer puzzle-based detective games.
