Looking for some games where it feels like you’re actually trying to solve something with the clues and secrets you uncover. For example, Disco Elysium actually made me feel like a detective despite how wacky and surreal it could be.
I haven’t played LA Noire yet but that’s on my list. Anything else I should check out. TIA!
This might not fit what you’re looking for, but the Phoenix Wright games are mostly about detective work, despite playing as a lawyer. If you like wacky and surreal, the series should be right up your alley!
