Murdered: Soul Suspect

Great game! passed in one go on PS3

Excellent plot and atmosphere, unusual setting and non-standard gameplay. Even if it’s boring, there’s at least some variety, otherwise we’re already tired of games based on the same shoot-action-cutscene concepts. There would be more leisurely games like this, where there’s no action, but it’s interesting to watch the outcome. 10/10.

The developers chose not just any Los Angeles or New York as the setting, but small Salem, one of the oldest cities in New England, founded in 1626. As you know, all the devilry usually happens in small settlements; there is much more betrayal, rumors and hatred towards each other here than in big cities. In American culture, this settlement is somehow associated with mysticism, and it all began with a trial where alleged w… Read full

In principle, the game pulls out at 8. What is the point here. We play as a dead detective who is investigating his death. We walk through objects, talk to other ghosts, look for clues. Everything here is as simple as 3 kopecks. They give you a location where you need to find a couple of objects, then find the one you need. Reminds me of L.A. Noire, except that you can’t make a mistake here, and everything is found by brute force. As for the plot, it's a good mystical detective story. As a lover of the mystic genre, sometimes I miss something like this—something relaxed. It takes 4-5 hours, which is quite a plus. I noted one minus for myself - Russian voice acting. It is so monotonous, as if everyone was voiced by one person and his voice was sent through a voice transformer. There is Kuzn… Read full

The game immediately captivated us with its concept and story - we, playing as a ghost, will need to investigate our own murder. That is why the gameplay of M:SS became a new experience, even despite the ease of the quests, and also the fact that the whole process boils down, in general, to exploring the game world. The riddles are simple, and some of the details get boring. But thanks to a small dose of horror and a good plot with only a partially predicted ending, the atmosphere becomes gorgeous. Add to this a damn attractive hero.

The resulting “almost idyll” is blurred by unsuccessful Russian voice acting, a hard-to-read font (at least in the Russian version), as well as some technical nuances such as the lack of cells for saving and replaying chapters (even if they are not built in the… Read full

Cool game. The plot is fire! I'm looking for something similar, but haven't found anything yet((

I avoided this game for a very long time, but it turned out I was stupid and overly critical. A wonderful story about a detective, whose image is a little off-putting at the beginning, with a truly unpredictable outcome. Everything seemed banal, standard, but the game was very surprising. A most interesting investigation, colorful characters, Russian voice acting, an appropriately gloomy environment, all this makes the game unforgettable. Well, in the end, philosophy, since there is something to think about....

Overall the toy is not bad. Good optimization, very good plot, atmosphere. Unique abilities and good implementation of the main character as a ghost. One of the few games that provides the opportunity to play as a hero after his death. Additional small "missions" (which are essentially collecting things in the level) reveal additional interesting stories that immerse the player in the atmosphere of the game. As the game progresses, collecting all sorts of letters, etc., we reveal the attitude of the people around our hero in the past, which is quite important, because our detective should look at all this from the other side. For mechanics, gameplay, plot, atmosphere, a solid ten.

Here’s another gestalt to close from 2019, when I started playing the game Murdered: Soul Suspect for the first time on PlayStation 4, which I did not complete there, but completed on Xbox Series S in 2024.

My opinion about the game: The game came out just great for 2014, just great. The main character, in the role of a ghost, solves the mysteries of the city of Salem and the murder of his death. The ending absolutely killed me.
