Again is a generic crime story with generic (and sluggish) adventure gameplay, so while it's certainly playable and able to be completed, it's most likely not going to stick with you. It's also not an engaging mystery; it doesn't really give you the tools to solve it as you go, leaving you to wait for someone else (or J's visions) to tell you most of the answers.

Considering it's completely devoid of the interesting character writing and physical location-personality of Cing's other works Another Code and Hotel Dusk, I sincerely hope anyone playing this game plays this after those. Then you'll just know what this one is missing, as opposed to losing faith in Cing's ability to portray them whatsoever.

The transition screens with J's outline walking are about as stylish as it ever gets. So those are cute, at least.
