Very good game. Not my kind of game but a great game however. Mechanics are well implemented. We find it quite difficult. Played 2 players always

Very complicated. It's good in some way. But you'll get no hint what's wrong with your solution or what's missing.

What I'd like to see and feel would improve future iterations on this series: + More independent cases with less reliance on facts from prior cases. It is hard to recall facts and review notes from cases played a week or more prior. This is especially noticeable in case 4. + Some shorter cases. I don't always have 3+ hours to play a case. + More integration with the website. Every case has an intro video, but they could do so much more with these.
