L.A. Noire reviews

Yet another timeless masterpiece by Rockstar, but to me this is the best game they've made.

The very process of investigation is thoroughly copied from detective films or TV-series. In this sense Noire is perhaps the best title the game could get. The story lives up to the highest expectations — it is a dark solid detective set in late 40s along with small whodunnits on the way.

Amazing work with the characters – the main ones are very intrguing to follow and see how they are developing throughout the story, while the secondary ones are just interesting enough to last through one case and keep you suspicious till the very end. Phelps is one of the best playable character I've seen in my life, you really want to help him and to associate yourself with him. Overall, he is just a nice guy and a really good cop.

The graphics feels pretty even in 2018 and the face animation is beyond expectations. The sound and the music are gorgeous. The gameplay makes you feel like a detective, although a little bit more fighting and shooting would be nice, perhaps.

I'd recommend this game to anyone, even if you don't really like Rockstar and GTA in particular. You will love the atmosphere and you will play the game with sinking heart from the first till the last minute.
«That ending!»
«OST on repeat»
Basically the same old game that came out 6 years ago. Not the best antialiasing, but still looks gorgeous on the handheld. If you haven’t played it in the first place, or just miss a good detective story — give it a try on Switch.
