Criminal Case: Mysteries of the Past vs Inside
Criminal Case: Mysteries of the Past
Criminal Case: Mysteries of the Past is the third spin-off from Pretty Simple's hit investigative-themed hidden object game series, Criminal Case. This time around, instead of being set in the modern world, Criminal Case brings you back into the 80s where you play as a rookie detective on his/her very first case. Search for and collect evidence from the crime scenes, send them for analysis, and accumulate enough proof so you can make the arrest.In a nutshell, Criminal Case: Mysteries of the Past is a pretty generic sequel to the Criminal Case series. It offers more of the same in terms of gameplay, but the game is set in a very different world and of course, you’ll get to enjoy a brand-new storyline and interact with a new cast of characters. This game will definitely appeal to existing fans of Criminal Case games and the great thing is you can play this game concurrently with the other Criminal Case game apps.
That being said, there are plenty of criminals in this game that you’ll have to catch in Concordia, so be sure to get right to it!
Inside
Inside is 2.5D-like, atmospheric puzzle/platformer where you play as a young boy trapped within a dark project that pushes the human body within the limitations of physics. Being a puzzle game, Inside has some of the most intriguing ones. The goals are often vaguely known rather than being concretely defined by the game, and of course, every aspect of the puzzle is built to push your use and understanding of the game mechanics and your character's (limited) abilities as a boy. Interestingly, there are a lot of water levels for a platformer game, but these levels somehow managed to feel relevant to the overall storyline and spices up the gameplay.Although many have openly criticize the ending of the game, the overall feeling that is evoked by it seems perfect for a game as dark and as unsetlling as this one. If you're ready for a puzzle-platform game that will challenge your brain while at the same time bring out strong emotions, this is the game to play.
