#MICRO MACRO CRIME CITY REVIEW FULL#
The buffet continues, but be prepared to just have a nibble at it over an afternoon, as you’ll feel worse for wear if you try and pig out.Since the release of MicroMacro: Crime City in October 2020, around 2 million copies of the first and second part, MicroMacro: Crime City 2 - Full House, have been produced worldwide - in no fewer than 31 languages. Enter the thrilling world of MicroMacro: Crime City All In, the newest addition to the MicroMacro franchise This time, a new district of the black-and-white metropolis Crime City has opened up, featuring a huge seamless city map that leads to 16 new, more challenging crime cases waiting to be solved by one to four amateur detectives. The new cases are as good and as entertaining as the first game, but do suffer from presenting the same loop, even in the longer and more complex cases.įull House brings us more of what we thought we wanted. There’s a universal good will for this game, it’s something people want to leave out for a long weekend (they say) but in reality, they can get burned out after a handful of cases. This stark visual flare and huge amount of stuff going on in the city itself are part of the appeal – but is also simply hard to look at for too long. At its worst, you can wear a group of players out quite easily as they stare really hard at a map looking for a ‘car with two stripes on it’ and so on.
At its best, being the sleuth who spots that the victim was left handed, so there’s no chance it’s suicide with the gun in her right hand, feels pretty smart. Players are once again looking to answer questions using their map-reading and scanning abilities, and then a little bit of lateral-logic on top. With that comes the same problems that we had in the original game – it’s really quite a lot of squinting. We have a new bit city map, and a ton of new case cards.
