Murdered: Soul Suspect is actually a good game?
When I first heard of this game I wasn't interested, when the game launched I wasn't interested and when it was free to download on Xboxlive I wasn't really interested. But I decided to download the game anyway and decided to play it finally just a week ago. Well I have to admit that I was wrong, Murdered: Soul Suspect is actually a good game!
You're a ghost?
You could say that, I mean I'm not expert on this subject but it looks like you're a ghost or at least a soul trapped on Earth. At the start of the game, big spoiler...oh wait it's not, your character is murdered by a serial killer and you can't cross over to the other side because you got some unfinished business. That unfinished business is catching the serial killer that has murdered several young women and now also your character. So you enter a different world, some type of shadow world, where you can possess people (you can influence their minds) and even move things. You should keep in mind that in this game it's not really about the action but more about your detective skills!
Detective ghost on the case?
Well yeah, I mean your character was a detective when he was still alive so I guess as a ghost he remains that as well. So you try to figure out who this serial killer is and why he or she (you never know) is doing this. This takes you to some creepy locations and some weird encounters. While finding clues and investigating murder sites, including your own, you also encounter other ghosts that sometimes help you and some also need help to cross over to the other side. You can be nice and help or just ignore them. But it's not all peaceful in this shadow world, there are also demons hunting for you!
You're demon food?
In a way yes, because the demons are trying to eat you. You can't really defend yourself, you have no weapons as a ghost, so you have to hide and when they turn their back on your then you can try to annihilate them with a quick time event that requires some quick reflexes because if you mess that up the demon will chase you and you have to hide in ghost shells. Ghost shells are empty husks you see in certain areas that you can hide in and by switching through these husks you can lose the demon(s) chasing you. As a ghost you can also walk through most walls, except exterior walls or blue walls in or outside a building. Later you also learn how to teleport yourself around which helps you with finding clues and collectibles.
Why is this game so much fun?
Because it's an original idea that actually works out pretty good. It's not a first person shooter or a survival horror game. It's more a type of thriller where you play the lead role as a cop that got killed and now as a ghost you try to solve the case. You do get help from a teenage girl that can see you and help you get things done, since you can't really pick up things yourself or open doors for that matter which makes it harder to enter or exit a building. What I really like about this game are the investigations and also the story, it's something different and not the same old crap that you often find in certain games. I like different games and also games that are more about using your head and less about having amazing skills with shooting and dodging. Sure the game is a bit creepy but I don't mind that. So if you haven't played this game then I can really recommend it, I had a real blast playing it!
