About CRIMINAL VS. SWAT:
Like the previous game in the series, the third installment of the Family Mysteries game series leaves a very neutral impression. Here we are already openly faced with the problems that the mandatory emphasis on family relationships, which is inherent in this particular series of games, carries What’s very exciting is that the puzzles are obviously evolving and getting a lot more intricate. This was not enough before, so riddles here save the day very much. I’m even used to bad facial animations, now they scare me a little less, although some still come in Each chapter in this Artifex Mundi series features a different protagonist. The unifying theme is (tragic and at times disturbing) family secrets and a mystery to unravel. FM3: Criminal Mindset is one of the better new AM games, although it is still light on challenge. The plot is bizarre and a little spooky, and includes biomedical psychology (of the scifi-light horror genre) and conspiracies within conspiracies. That said, if you suspend your disbelief, there are some interesting HO scenes, better than (recent) average puzzles, and the protagonist is intelligent and very likeable. Pros: – smooth controls, nicely interactive interface A little light on hidden object scenes, although there are plenty of mini-game puzzles. Hidden object scenes and mini-game puzzles are not randomised, the solutions are the same for each playthrough. There are a couple of tricky puzzles, what makes the game overly difficult however is the “Unmistakable” achievement which is supposed to pop after completing a hidden object scene without any mistakes. Sadly however it is bugged and actually pops when you complete a scene in less than 60 seconds without any mistakes, and due to morphing objects and items hidden behind or within other items, it makes for a very difficult achievement to earn as a result. Decent enough voice acting, but nothing of note stands out in the game. Overall a rather average hidden object game, that is very challenging to earn 100% achievements for. A thumbs up, but be aware there are dozens upon dozens of better hidden object games out there. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2408551464
