Killed: Soul Suspect is an adventure game (Yes, that sort which you've nearly overlooked!), and it really comes near what the real fans of the class would appreciate. Naturally, it can hardly be compared to Syberia or The Longest Journey, yet playing this one can present to you a few hours of fun... in case you're not very fussy.
In this game, you play police assessor Ronan O'Connor, who's... well - dead.
The plot and the main idea are cool. Generally speaking, paying a phantom that can make things happen in the real, the physical world is awesome. Especially in an adventure game. The other one of a kind thing is that - Hello! - you have no zombie-like, Resident Evil-like, war-like and so on occasions happening to you. Whatever adversary you meet and have to "battle", is actually not there to murder you! Yes, (SPOILER) you can simply flee from them... All NPCs are somewhat low on carb clearly, as they do cover a really small space. Regardless of the possibility that you defeat an evil spirit in the same room where another one of them is, the second person won't pay you any attention.
The romantic drama - you have a spouse named Julia, who's been the reason for your changing lives. Thus, her death causes you to feel very blue and go vigorously with considerably less brains and a great deal of aggression. This is also, I figure, the main reason for us (playing as him) to go to the principal scene where we wind up dead.
My conclusion? I like this as much as I can; I mean... many of us need something tragic happening in a man's life, to make sure we can feel them close. I discover romance futile for me, yet for a game with the degrees and goals set by the makers, clearly this sort of thing must be there. What I enjoyed (see second sentence in this paragraph) is that they didn't make her pregnant or transform him into a crying fatherly figure.
The real drama: Salem is a colossal home for witches and well, being an extreme person there can't in any way, shape or form keep you safe from the witchcraft, the witch chases and everything else that happened there in the past. You're even a more suitable casualty for an influential foe to get than a basic young lady would be.
Turns and plot lines are finely incorporated in this game and it's easy to like it. The main thing you have to know when purchasing this game is that - it's an old-school adventure game with a whodunnit feel and a great deal of cool, laid-back deduction time and exploration zones. This is no Far Cry, no Uncharted, no Resident Evil. It's also not Aura or Myst, however.
The gameplay then again is really basic and I adore it! With the main exemptions being the evil presences you have to eradicate, it's all a straightforward first-individual point-and-snap adventure yet in a 3D world. You have hardly any reason to worry and make mistakes. The main gameplay related issues, however, is the lack of real riddles. Appears as though it was either excessively costly (more them making a 3D rendition of a sheriff-like police monitor in his full attire, cigarette and smoke included... as an apparition) or too hard for the team at Airtight, but..yes - a real adventure game needs a riddle or two (at least) before getting action-feeling features.
To make sure you know...
A very famous gaming site's survey of the game says: "The best way to discard Murdered's really terrifying soul-sucking evil spirits is to get immediately behind them, and the best way to get immediately behind them is to cover up in the deposit of individual apparition souls, which are firmly packed together and along these lines create a kind of teleportation framework for Ronan. "
Here's the quote source (I wouldn't advise you to snap this, yet being ethical asks I connection to the source).
All things considered, this is entirely off-base. For one reason, as I spoilt already, you can flee from them. For another reason - you can cover up in walls. On the off chance that you don't come in their range of perceivability when they're turning, you can simply leave the wall and "exorcize" them from this world.
One thing you should know, however: Once the ritual was not performed right, these killjoys will tail you however walls and stairs until you go outside of their range.
