J'ai récemment eu l'occasion de jouer à Unsolved Case en coopération, et c'est une très belle découverte pour les amateurs de jeux de réflexion et d'escape room à deux ! Points positifs : - J'aime beaucoup l'idée de l'histoire et le style graphique un peu cartoon / bande dessinée. La DA est vraiment très réussie, elle donne une identité propre au jeu et rend l'exploration des différents écrans très agréable à l'œil. - Le fait que chaque joueur ait des indices différents sur son écran oblige à constamment communiquer (comme dans les We were here si vous connaissez). C'est un vrai travail d'équipe, d'autant plus qu'il n'y a pas de système de communication intégré au jeu puisqu'il est recommandé d'être en appel sur Discord ou autre ! - Les casse-têtes sont très sympas à résoudre, ni trop simples ni complètement impossibles. C'est extrêmement satisfaisant de réussir à faire le lien entre ce que l'on voit et ce que notre partenaire nous décrit. - C'est un prologue entièrement gratuit, ce qui est un excellent moyen de découvrir la franchise et de tester sa communication avec un(e) ami(e) sans pression. Points à améliorer : - Le jeu est vraiment trop court ! Nous l'avons terminé en seulement 48 minutes. Même si c'est un jeu gratuit qui sert d'introduction, on reste un peu sur notre faim quand on commence tout juste à se mettre dans le bain. Après, je suppose que c'est pour donner envie d'acheter la suite :x - J'ai joué au jeu en français et j'ai remarqué quelques petites erreurs de traduction. Il y a parfois quelques fautes dans les phrases ou des mots manquants, ce qui peut légèrement sortir de l'immersion... Note globale : 7,5/10 Dans l'ensemble, Unsolved Case est un excellent choix si vous cherchez un jeu de réflexion coopératif pour passer une bonne petite soirée. Prenez le temps de bien communiquer avec votre partenaire et profitez de cette jolie DA cartoon. Je le recommande vivement, d'autant plus que c'est une expérience gratuite qui donne un très bon aperçu du reste de la franchise !
MELHOR QUE GTA 6
отличная игра для совместного мозгового штурма
Interessante.
Decent yet cheesy and slightly cliche story/voice acting, but the co-op Zero Escape-style escape rooms/point-&-click puzzles were very fun!!! The clues were a bit too cryptic (no pun intended), so we needed a few hints. But it was very very fun to finally figure it out! Short and sweet demo. Got me hooked. Love co-op games, and the two separate halves make for great replayability.
Very nice game to scream at your friends who only own a mac
fun game although I'm stupid so i had to brute force some parts.
