Let’s not go crazy – we’re not talking about video gaming’s answer to Sherlock Holmes or Inspector Morse – but Murdered attempts to make it as some kind of cerebral adventure. Nor is the premise that straightforward.

There are some great concepts in Murdered: Soul Suspect, but they feel undercooked or underutilised, and the lack of demand for any real input from us makes Murdered feel like a pick-a-path game where there’s only one path. It scrapes by on the power of its central whodunnit mystery, but I can’t help but feel that Murdered: Soul Suspect is ten hours worth of unfinished business.
