Review - Murdered: Soul Suspect
The landscape of today’s games industry is hardly one packed to the brim with original IPs or ideas, but rather one that showcases the desires of developers and publishers to play it safe. While the indie scene is happy to try new things, elsewhere there’s a distinct lack of willingness to attempt anything new – and, from a business standpoint, who could argue? Games like Call of Duty regularly smash sales records when their traditional October/November release date rolls around, regardless of any perceived lack of innovation, while even new IPs like Ubisoft Montreal’s Watch Dogs tread more familiar ground than not. In short, we’re far more conservative than we give ourselves credit for.
Which is precisely why we’ve been looking forward to Murdered: Soul Suspect so much.
