Cold Verdict 3

[h1] Information / Review English [/h1] Cold Verdict 3 is an adventure thriller with dramatic elements, developed by Astronomic Games. [h1] Gameplay / Story [/h1] Claire returns in the third installment with a new team to hunt down the Masked Man. Although she managed to track him down, she fell into one of his traps, where she and two others were already trapped. His game involved asking them questions, for which they only had a few minutes to answer. Each round had a different role, and whoever lost the time died. I don't want to give too much away, but anyone familiar with the SAW movies knows that the goal is to find a way out. However, this isn't easy, as traps are placed everywhere, and you also have to solve small puzzles before the timer reaches zero. The story is once again advanced by examining objects. Clicking on one opens a dialog box with several options, which you then have to select. Every decision/answer has consequences. So in the end, it's not certain which of the actors will survive. [h1] Pros [/h1] + Good sequel + Exciting, entertaining story + Decisions with consequences + Multiple endings + Appropriate graphics/music + Many customization options + Good v…

As much as I loved the first two games, this one felt rushed and doesn't give any satisfying answer to what happened in the previous two games. Claire is back, this time with a new reformed team to hunt the Masked Man. She was able to locate him but fell into one of his traps, where she and two other people were already in. His game was to ask them questions, and they had a few minutes to answer. Each round had a different role, and running out of time leads to your death. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3601981488 The game introduced a couple of new characters that had a limited impact on the story. The game itself was short but had multiple endings depending on your answers and reactions. This was the best part of the game and made it slightly replayable. It is a pure visual novel with no puzzles, just choices and consequences. The artwork is similar to the previous game, with no voice acting. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3601981545 Pros: +OK story. (Last chapter of the trilogy) +Choices and consequences. +Good soundtracks. +Multiple endings and routes. +Manual save. +Steam achievements. Cons: -Very short. The first two gam…

I'll admit that I haven't played the first two Cold Verdict games, so I had no preconceptions or expectations coming into the game. However, I have played several of Astronomic Games previous games and I found them enjoyable. So when I saw that they released their latest game, I took a chance on it, plus their games are usually very inexpensive (currently with a good introductory offer discount). Players also don't need to have played the first two Cold Verdict games, as a recap is included which explains the events of the first two games. I appreciated the recap feature very much. I enjoyed the quick pace of the game. The game isn't very long, a first playthrough will take only 45-60 minutes. I completed my first playthrough in about an hour and finished all of the endings and achievements in less than three hours. The story is well written and I found only a few typos. For players familiar with Astronomic Games previous titles, there aren't any surprises or outstanding features - the writing and art is fairly consistent with their other games. I am rather impressed with their credits list, as they have a lengthy art assets and sound effects credits list. I also appreciated th…
