Large meilleur que le premier, mais il reste assez bas. Très court, histoire peu intéressante si vous avez vu le film, seule l'OST s'en sort je trouve

I've had migraines more entertaining and less predictable than this.

This just felt like a game that should have come out a long time ago. The original 2016 Detective Pikachu on 3DS was a flawed but charming mystery/adventure game with a clever premise, and if this game came out a year or two afterwards it probably would have gotten a similar reception. Instead the gameplay feels dated and the presentation is just not up to snuff. The plot isn’t bad per say but it also has the problem of the Detective Pikachu movie coming out in 2019 despite the movie adapting material that would be eventually used in this game, so the release timeline for this franchise is all out of whack. The last case in the game makes up for a lot of the slowness in the rest of the game but I just wish the game was more dynamic in structure, it would be nice to feel like you are solving something instead of being dragged along with no agency. I did like how it all wrapped up at least and it did retain some of the charm of the original, I just sadly think this missed its window by multiple years… if it had come out right before the movie it would have felt much more at home.

Yeah it wasn't any better than the first one but hell it sure was funny. My brother watched me play it and we were just having the time of our lives picking it apart this 3ds looking ass game. Not bad for kids but you could do better. I'm glad it didn't leave off on a cliff hanger

It's definitely missing some sauce. I think the game accomplishes what it's trying to do--it's a cute point & click mystery game for kids. Sometimes the plot is a bit more interesting (mostly later chapters). It's nothing incredible or genre defining, but to me it felt like it accomplished its goal, even if it is a bit lacking.
