The Sexy Brutale review

Exceptional

by Alex K.

Why did I buy this Game? This Game was praised by the Gamestar in the Sky. Interesting Game idea, ingenious Concept, etc. So I watched it. My first Impression Very cool. Located Seeting in a 50S casino. The Soundtrack alone is extremely apt. Is probably not for everyone. Fits Though in case ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ on Bucket. The Settings are kept to a Minimum. Fullscreen on/off, Language that wars. So off you go. Story That's the Spring in the Game. So fancy the Seeting and the Game Idea turned out, I can reveal, over time they wouldn't bring the Game. It's the Story that lets you move on, always with the Question of what's new. The Finale is then a bit flat, but also not in such a way that it leaves open questions. Game Mechanics After setting the second Special Feature in the Game. In the aforementioned Casino, Murders are carried out on the Guests. This must be prevented. To do this, you get the Gimmick of Time travel. You experience the same Day again and again, "and daily the Marmot greets." This, of course, also opens up where is the Victim, where the Murderer, what said Persons do and how the actual Murder is going on. So With this Info, it is important to prevent the Murder, but not simply by force of Arms or by pointing it out to the Victim. No, the Murder must be prevented from the Background. Be it to manipulate the Murder weapon, or to support cracking a Symbol puzzle or preventing the Killer from Advancing. No matter how you do it, no one is allowed To see you. That makes it a little trickier. Once one of the Victims has been rescued, you will be given a new Ability that will allow you to penetrate into previously closed Areas of the Casino. This is quite cleverly solved and allows the Game world to grow. But What kept braking and disturbing me again and again was the typical Adventure moderate. Seeking the individual Rooms. I found that some of the Puzzles that were to be solved were not always unambiguous. Frustration arose. That's a Criticism of the Game that weighs very heavily. Graphics & Sound The Graphics are in an oversubscribed colorful Style, but this is a great match for the Mood. It all seems a bit garish and cluttered, just as you imagine an extravagant Casino. The Sound is in a Class of itself. I stand on the Music of the 50s, besides, the Whole thing fits beautifully into the Picture. Unfortunately, there is no Voiceover, except for a Vocal Insert, everything is told in Text form. What a pity. Verdict "The Sexy Brutale" is more of an Adventure than an Action Game. The Idea of preventing Murders by travelling through Time was so there were in Computer Games I don't think so. Packed into an unused Scenario, garnished with a great Soundtrack speak for itself. Were it not for the Story with the sometimes incomprehensible Puzzles. Or the Fact that after one-on-one Play, there is no incentive to Play through again. Then I would make an unqualified Recommendation here. So all I have to say is that something of Potential has been given away here. And that diminishes the Overall Impression. Still, I give a Thumbs up. The Soundtrack hats alone deserves ... Did you like my Review? Then let me have a Like there. Also Note my other Reviews.
