The Good

The Good

  • A gritty police drama that doesn’t shy away from mature content
  • clear visual nods to some greats of the comic book medium.
The Bad

The Bad

  • Lacking development, characters fail to connect with the player
  • choices don’t significantly impact the narrative
  • the short episodes don’t delve much beyond surface-level storytelling.
verdict
Our Verdict
Underwhelming

The Detail sets out to provide a memorable police thriller with visual flair, but can’t quite seal the deal in either storytelling or gameplay across its three-part narrative arc.
