Great visual novel with a great soundtrack and art style but with terrible mechanics. I wish a big game developer would pick this up and make it into a bigger and better game like Disco Elysium. The game gets better with time, try not to be put off with the driving and always max out on cigarettes! 7/10

Initial Impressions Review: The Mercury Man is a game much more about its tone and its setting -if you are into sleuthy / detective / dystopian fare, its soundtrack of synthwave / retrowave (along with some of its visual presentation) hit those marks well. Unfortunately, the games insipid, rambling dialog (at times) nullifies any player investment into the overbaked storyline during the game's opening act. i.e. While I can immediately get on board with its dark, silhouetted, stark visuals and synthy soundtrack at the main menu when queueing up a New Game do I really have to immediately encounter a scene of seeing 5-10 pages of dialog with the immediate, generic "Wife" character (that is really her name. lol..) on her deathbed shoved down my throat??? While a later scene shortly afterward is more evocative of genuine reflection, the incessant rambling of the main character about how much he boozes comes off as very trite and perhaps just bad translation. The cutscenes text are all presented in a massive wall o text with no paragraph breaks which makes for a tiring (at times, detached) read from the player. Where the Mercury Man seems to rely on about 50/50 of these moments of text / background story vs moments of isometric gameplay, the writing being a bit strange-feeling in ENG is unfortunate. The minigame of driving cab fare around was a nice surprise. I enjoy what the game is doing and will play more of it, but I have already found myself clicking through tons of dialog to just get to the next scene. I hope it becomes more complex with some combat. I encountered a bug in the very first room of the game, with its awkward movement throughout the isometric sections. The door to exit the room wasn't activating. In the next scene, where you have to enter your car (to begin the cab fare mini game) also seemed to not register me as having arrived at the car door. So - for what it's worth, I can see why this game has Mixed reviews. For me, I'm willing to slog through the at-times jilted dialog and clunky isometric interface as I enjoy the game's overall dark detective theme although its writing fluctuates wildly between good to horrible.

I had a choice what to buy: Detroit: Become Human or Mercury man. And you know what? I don't regret. Beautiful visual novel with hardcore gameplay elements, awesome soundtrack, heartstopping story and a ton of easter eggs. May be a little repetitive at start, but story kicks in after two hours, and ending are interesting. Definitely check this game.

In the vein of 90s isometric shooters e.g. Crusader: No Remorse. Great game for USD $7, well done Mehsoft. Good - Mood & atmosphere - Artwork - Music - Bad English translation (in a good way) Bad - Driving (e.g. parked car changes direction when you exit the location, can't perform u-turn)

The game is cool and much better than the previous one. The best part of the game is the atmosphere, music+art+dialogs do a great job. I see that some people criticise the gameplay, but I would say that it is satisfying, yes, it`s pretty hard but playable, you will need max 3 tries to complete the hardest lvls. And it`s a perfect proportion between challenge and enjoyment. The driving and radiowaves give pleasure but become quite annoying at the end of the game. It will be great, if developers add some new music to radio. The game has some interesting gameplay decisions and special emphasis is placed on cosiness and relaxation. It is not a game for action, explosions and COD lovers, the best way to play this game is to open a bottle of your favourite beer in the quiet evening and chill watching this noir story and listening to beautiful soundtracks. Absolutely recommend!
