The game is great. It's very satisfying to to be working on a side job, have dispatch announce a murder over the radio, drop everything because why would I want to be taking a photograph of someone when I could be solving a murder, then go through my own personal process of finding the culprit and how they did it.

The game is not free of issues. Since launch, I've run into several bugs, some fixed, some still active as of this review. However, overall, the game feels good to play. The base systems all work well with the majority of bugs I've found feel like they come from the side tasks. An example of this would be having a mission that requires me to steal a secret envelope then placing it near an object at a location just for that location to not having any object of that type.

One glaring issue that I saw and have seen from other reviews is some side jobs will just give you the least information possible. I was tasked with stealing a secret envelope from an apartment. All I was given was the building (not the room #) and a fingerprint. All I could do was go door by door of this 13 floor building, which has about 4 or so apartments per floor, scanning fingerprints on the front doors because people hate me and refuse to give me their fingerprints when asked. Now, if this was suppose to be a very difficult side job then I'd perhaps let it slide but I'd at least complain that with difficulty, it should be more interesting as well. At best, this was a time sink that didn't feel rewarding enough as it was a very early job that gave me like $900

Despite all of this, the game nails the atmosphere and feeling of being a PI. It absolutely scratches the itch of wanting to solve a crime by putting all the pieces together. I haven't progressed too far into the game so the side jobs and murders haven't been too large in terms of steps and leads you have to check to get the full picture but so far it's been great. I was having a great time but then I had to unscramble a bunch of letters to form the name of the killer. If that's happening early on then I can't wait to see what happens further into the game and in future patches.

I am BEGGING for some way to create our own mysteries. I need this.

This is a great VR alternative for people who really enjoyed playing the drums in Guitar Hero or Rockband. For everyone else, it's still a great game. The addition of a free demo was a great choice and I'd recommend this to anyone because of that.

One of my main worries when buying rhythm games is the music selection, how frequently it's expanded, and how it's expanded (Free updates vs paid DLC). Fortunately, I can say that the music selection for this is great. I was concerned that most of the music was original but it turned out to be good. I'm looking forward to seeing how they handle updating the music roster as the game matures but for now it seems like it's going in the right direction.

Bonus points for any developer that puts together a Roadmap for their early access game.

Personally, I don't care for any of the different challenge modes for the songs or any of the flipping and bouncing of the sticks but outside of that, the game has been fantastic and I can't wait for more music to be added.

Game was free until the time of this review, sorry to everyone who have to pay to play this now, rip.
