What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Well, well, well - AI players don't work at all (they never get close to catch Mr. X, even when set to difficult and they run out of taxi tickets real quick resulting in 2 or 3 AI players being stuck from mid-game till the end) - There's no online mode So yet you only can play it offline with friends sitting next to you or using third party software like Parsec or Discord to play it with shared screen and remote input. Also, it's very difficult to see where everyone's located because the map is very colorful and uses the same colors as the player markers. Update: More than a year after the release, yet they still didn't introduce online multiplayer to let us play with our friends.15 found this helpful
I love the original board game and i thought this would of been fun to play with friends online but its not online play untill you make it online play i will be refunding this10 found this helpful
So yeah, just like everyone had said before, no online gameplay mode and the AI is a joke whether it's playing as Mr. X or the detectives. I won playing both sides on Hard mode very easily. But what really disgusts me is the forced fake inclusivity of the Scotland Yard detective characters; they have two androgynous white characters, one black man, one black woman, and one Asian woman with a dog because God forbid we stick with traditional characters; no, everything has to be inclusive these days.

AI in this game is an absolute joke. No suspense whatsoever.4 found this helpful
As people before me already mentioned, there's no online mode and the AI is absolutely horrible.1 found this helpful
First off i would say if you are playing with the AI, yes it is bad. HOWEVER, if you are able to play with pass-n-play, it can be a tense game of cat and mouse. Personally would suggest having one player as Mr/Ms X and the other controlling 3 detectives for 2 player. Understand the frustration of single player gamers, but quite fun to play "1 on 1" with someone. Runs smoothly, no bugs, camera might move like prime usain bolt, but overall recommend, especially if at discount.
