Detective Solitaire Inspector Magic, developed by Somer Games and published by 8floor, is a casual card puzzle game that combines traditional solitaire mechanics with a light detective theme. It presents itself as a blend of mystery and strategy, but in practice it leans far more toward delivering a relaxed, methodical card experience than a narrative-driven investigation. The result is a game that is easy to pick up and consistently structured, though it rarely moves beyond the expectations set by its genre. The premise follows Inspector Magic as he investigates a series of unusual events tied to a larger case. This storyline serves mainly as a backdrop, connecting levels and providing a sense of progression as players move from one location to another. While the idea of solving a mystery adds some thematic charm, it remains largely superficial. Dialogue and plot developments are minimal, and the story does little to influence gameplay. Instead, it functions as a framing device, giving context to the steady sequence of card-based challenges. Gameplay is built around a familiar solitaire-style system where players remove cards from the board by selecting those that are one value …

Despite its name there is no real story, no cutscenes between sections, no tweet-sized texts and even there's no ending. The game look rather low-res, it feels fuzzy even on 1600x1200, not even talking about 3840x2160. Part of that is due to the chosen art-style and colour palette. But as a solitaire — it is an enjoyable enough solitaire. You match cards in value up or down with a full circle. It doesn't make you feel smart like when you successfully solve a FreeCell game, but there are clear goals, RNG mitigation and self-imposed goals. The game doesn't ask of you to clear the whole field, only to get several special cards. And even those are slightly more numerous than it is required to finish a set of levels. And yes, there are levels with different dependencies and end-result patterns. From time to time you get coins and you can spend them on re-shuffles, placement-cancel or on a joker that acts as a universal card. So basically just buy some jokers. I tried to avoid the power-ups as much as possible, only using the jokers if i had only one key card remaining and accessible, or in especially annoying RNG levels. The game offers a choice of faces and backs, and there are inte…

This is a nice solitaire game that requires thinking a bit differently than normally. Your main goal is to remove the special cards, not to clear the table. It can be quite hard to get the perfect score in some cases, but you can miss a couple special cards and still unlock the next level. There are several designs to choose from for the cards (3 fronts, 9 backs). Really the only thing that bothered me occasionally was that I had a bunch of cards on the table I could have removed and then hit the last special card and that was it. It feels a bit abrupt before you get used to it.

Very nice causal game not too hard nor too easy.

Challenging solitaire with a twist.
