I've said it many times before: L.A. Noire is the best videogame ever made. There's not a single thing quite like it: detective games have come and gone, but they've never fully managed to capture the clue-based sleuthing and detail-focused interrogation of Rockstar's seminal police sim. I've played Shadows of Doubt and The Sinking City, but Critical Hit Games' Nobody Wants to Die comes closest to transporting L.A. Noire's mission-based, investigative gameplay into a dystopian cyberpunk future that's reminiscent of CD Project Red's Cyberpunk 2077. It's absolutely gorgeous and relatively short, with a story that keeps you on your toes and challenges your preconceptions. And, the best part? It's currently the free Epic game of this week.
