I was at least four times on the verge of dropping it. I even closed the game once, but ended up reopening it and decided to give it another chance. It doesn’t really hook you from the start, mainly because it feels a bit buggy at times, and the movement and interactions aren’t the best. For example, with the helicopter, everything feels overly sensitive when you try to drive it. It takes some time to get used to. That said, the story is good and definitely worth it. I never thought I’d see a monkey penguin. The game has its charm mostly because of the penguins of the city. There’s something genuinely enjoyable about seeing them walking around the city and being able to talk to them. It honestly feels like this could easily be the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for a kid from a newer generation.

I got this game as a bundle on discount with the penguin heist and I've always loved penguins so this was quite fun to play and the stories were interesting. However, there were several issues I had when playing this game. 1. Lack of informational instrcutions. E.g, the workout task in case 3 where I keyboard smashed until I found the right key to do the rep. Even the haunted noot's side quest riddle was hard to figure out since there were no hints. 2. You can randomly start different cases without realising it. There should be a notification that you are about to switch cases or disable players from accessing new cases when solving one already. I accidentally started the side quest: haunted noots when trying to find the house on the left of town hall in case 3. 3. No map. I got to know the layout of the place since I went looking around in the penguin heist but certain locations were hard to find since the instructions gave very vague descriptions of where we should be. Either a map should be created or there should be a trail to follow. 4. Other people have mentioned this already but yes, the controls. The auto climb ladder constantly made me fall off the tower during the "g…

Might be a good game but I can't stand the movement and getting stuck all the time. Game has potential but it needs to be polished.
