The Last Case of Benedict Fox is a bit of a mixed bag for me. On the whole, I enjoyed the game. The story is interesting, the limbo looks strange/weird enough, nailing an interesting visual aspect, the puzzles are tricky and running around exploring, for the first time at least, is tons of fun. On the other hand, I really didn't like the combat nor the control scheme on pc, so much so I was really glad the game offered some special options to fine tune my experience and I took them up on the offer making the combat a formality while keeping the puzzles and exploration as top priority. But I said the game is a bit of a mixed bag, and that is because some parts of the game felt frustrating for no good reason. The game has a couple chasing sequences and I disliked both, the second one more than the first because I was getting confused about what direction I was supposed to fleed at certain points, causing me to die and having to restart all the way down. The exploration suffers a bit because unless you're marking all things, you're gonna have a hard time tracking down things you might have missed on second pass. The tatooing experience, past the first time, is annoying as you have to watch the full animation of Benedict screaming every time. The control scheme felt annoying. Before finishing the game, my opinion about the game was that it was an OK experience, a 7/8 out of 10 joint. But then I finished the game and I didn't really like the ending. The payoff didn't feel worth the journey, altho I'll admit that at least the post credits little animation has me hopeful for a sequel one day. I'll also lament that after finishing the game, there isn't a newgame+ mode, if you hit continue you just repop at the last section of the game, so any achievement you missed, like upgrading all the shop items, is gone unless you start all over again. The game will warn you that you should complete any loose ends before advancing at a specific point, and that is quite helpful, but having a newgame+ would still have been nice.

Good metroidvania with a cool Lovecraftian atmosphere. There are some minor technical issues with the game, mainly the long loading times and the backgrounds don't load on screen quick enough. Combat was nice, the gun is strong but starts off with one shot and you have to upgrade it later. Character upgrades made combat better. It was fun to grab enemies and just yeet them off cliffs and stuff. Enemy variety is a little basic there could have been a few more added into the game for each memory. Bosses ranged from normal dodge/attack type to a puzzle solving variety. Overall it was fun and the story was interesting so if you're into Lovecraftian stuff check it out.

The devs seem to have fixed all the bugs and issues that plagued this game upon release so credit where credit is due. I did encounter one bug where I turned ultra slow motion and couldn't do anything bar restart the game (I was unable to replicate it). Luckily there is a manual save in the settings which I don't think many people would find or at least, I didn't know about it until the above bug forced me. The game looks incredible and the world building is awesome. It's almost Tim Burton-esque and surrounded in mystery, I thoroughly enjoyed the aesthetic and story. The combat is basic but sufficient, it's a metroidvania so I wasn't expecting insanely difficult combat although some of the bosses took me a few tries to figure out especially the last boss. Once you start upgrading your weapons and skills you can easily wipe the floor with lesser mobs (ground slam is OP). Also, you don't need to kill mobs you have already killed as you won't get any ink, they are easily distinguishable so you can just run past them if collecting artifacts unless they are really hindering you. You will most likely need a guide if going for all the achievements (I did). And you will still need to be able to read/decipher the code (I won't ruin it) in the game to complete the puzzles as some of the runes you get are random (so it seems) so you may not necessarily get the same runes as a guide. The code is one of the most intriguing parts though. Once you figure out how it all works, I loved figuring out the puzzles. Overall I enjoyed my time, I new what I was getting into. The devs have also said they have learned a lot making this game and I'm curious to see where they go next so I will be dropping them a follow. Edit: I wont be giving them a follow as you can't yet on Steam, I'll keep an eye out ;D

dev is doing himself a huge disservice still keeping phase 3-6 as a roadmap, game is finished, all phases are delivered. im not a metroidvania guru nor im very experienced in these type of games, but i had a blast, there are some moments (like one or two) when you will get your butt kicked, well, just get good, i died at least 15 times on first boss - thinking that maybe i should go somewhere else and lvl up - nope - there is no somewhere else, you need to obliterate him. story is cool, graphics are great, you can easly traverese through entire map via anchors, upgrades in majority are meaningful. just a solid platfromer/logic/metroidvania title, get it and enjoy, no major issues observed. also if you are a dentist practitioner you will find a mini game just to fulfill your dark desires your are unable to address during normal work hours.

The Last Case of Benedict Fox is honestly a breath of fresh air if you're looking for something atmospheric and story-driven. The art direction is just stunning, capturing that dark, Lovecraftian horror vibe perfectly. Gameplay-wise, it’s a metroidvania, but not in the typical hack-and-slash sense. Here, the focus is on puzzles rather than action, which I found really refreshing. Some of the puzzles are genuinely challenging, requiring you to put real thought into solving them, which feels pretty rare in games nowadays. Not all of them are super clear, though; a few could’ve used better hints to point you in the right direction. But if you’re into games that make you slow down and engage your brain, there’s a lot to enjoy here. Combat is there, too, but it’s not the main focus. You do get some cool abilities and upgrades, but unfortunately, a lot of them come really late in the game, so you don’t get as much time to play around with them as you might want. Still, there’s a decent range of items and abilities, so you can find a playstyle that suits you. The tarot card mechanic, though, feels like it was tacked on without much thought - interesting in theory, but not really impactful. All in all, The Last Case of Benedict Fox is a solid pick if you’re after a metroidvania with a focus on story and atmosphere over action. It’s a great mix of mystery and horror, built around a fascinating narrative that keeps you curious.
