Mindcop

Have you ever played Psychonauts but wished the protagonist was a forty year old cop who pretended he was a cool teen? Yeah me neither but this game made me realize that such a combo makes a fantastic story! The murder is a very grim one and when you go through people’s memories be they lies or the truth you start to realize how compelling the cast of characters are who are shaped by forgotten secrets and generational trauma. Not only is the story and character's great the way you investigate the murder beyond mind surfing is very fun way to do a detective game. where there is a lot of things to investigate but the vast majority of things are useless information so you have to plan on what leads look promising and act with you gut instead of mindlessly pouring over every piece of trash in a home. The music is the icing on the cake which is slick and adds flavour to every encounter, with the music during the mind surf mini game being the most stand out. Highly recommended.

Forgot to review this game when I played it last summer, but I have thought about it frequently and fondly since then. One of my favorite detective games ever, and I play a lot of detective games. It puts a fresh spin on the common Psychic Detective trope, and the time mechanic adds a sense of urgency and replayability. You will never see everything on a single playthrough, and you may struggle to get the killer right as well. My guess was right, but I lost anyway because I didn't accuse the suspect in time, mostly because I expected there to be more concrete evidence, but like the Mindcop, you will have to rely somewhat on intuition in this case. I love the art style, the map is small but well-crafted, the music is fantastic, especially during the mindsurfing minigames, and I even added a few of the songs to my main playlist. The minigame itself isn't the kind of thing I usually enjoy, and occasionally felt repetitive due to the number of times you have to do it, but it wasn't enough to bring down my overall experience at all. Outside of the minigame, mindsurfing is possibly my favorite mechanic in a detective game ever. It's so fun exploring characters' memories and trying to pie…

Good

Great story with good music and fun mechanics. The story is a little short(like our hero) and left me wanting more. Here's hoping for a Mindcop 2!

I recently beat the game and I liked it. I like how we get Buddy Cop interactions with MC and Linda, but also get to take the murder case seriously. I liked most of the characters and how each one had their own quirks and motivations. Depending on teh decisions you make, the story can change slightly, too, which was a great touch. One thing I wished the game had was more than one case. I was hoping that we would get a few cases for the game because the concept of a detective who can read minds is really neat. Linda also seems a bit psychic with how she sees colours in people's voices and I wish we could've seen more of that. Overall, I liked what I got and I'd be happy to see more from these developers.
