Crime never sleeps, and neither do the developers behind the Unsolved Case series, as they return with another gripping entry. Above the Law throws players into the shadowy world of crime and corruption, where the only thing standing between justice and chaos is… well, you. With a high-profile murder, a city on edge, and a fresh-faced rookie at your side, it’s up to you to crack the case before the killer strikes again.
Gaming Heaven
As a Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure, Above the Law delivers exactly what fans of the genre crave: puzzles, intrigue, and enough interactive crime scenes to make you feel like Sherlock Holmes with a magnifying glass addiction. Each chapter unfolds like a self-contained detective drama, giving you new suspects, motives, and murders to piece together. The variety in puzzles is particularly impressive, and add in a solid collectibles system (because what detective doesn’t love collecting flowerpots?), and you’ve got a game that will keep you engaged for hours.
Gaming Hell
Not everything in Above the Law is polished to perfection. While the graphics are crisp, some of the animations are unintentionally comedic. The story, while engaging, occasionally stumbles into the realm of the unintentionally absurd. The dialogue choices do allow for some player agency, but sometimes the most reasonable response isn’t an option. And let’s not mention the terrible voice dubbing animations…
Final Judgement
It has its quirks, Unsolved Cases: Above the Law is a must-play for hidden object enthusiasts. With its challenging puzzles, engaging (if occasionally bizarre) storyline, and sheer wealth of content, it’s a fantastic addition to any mystery fan’s collection.
