Paradise Killer Reviews

You're dropped right in (literally) to a strange world-island, nearly deserted and yet rich with hints of a strange-yet-familiar culture—and, of course, a murder. Fantastic worldbuilding and story craft, and the investigation will make you feel like Poirot. And you'll definitely want to buy the soundtrack when you're done!

Unique Setting and amazing vibes. The murder plot and the characters are great, but gameplay is a lot of mediocre jump & run to collect gimmicks. Still highly recommended for the original aspects.

This game is amazing - and in many ways resemble Outer Wilds (my another all-time favorite). For the first 30 minutes - 1 hour, similar to Outer Wilds, it takes some getting used to. While I heard good things about this game, I didn't really like the style/aesthetics of because it looked weird for weird sake... and oh boy how wrong I was. By the time I was into the first 2 hours, I was REALLY invested... and stayed that way for the rest of playtime (for me, I ended up spending 15 hours).

Delightfully bizarre. Not my usual genre (what even is this game?) but Paradise Killer is an absolute bop.

Took about 15 hours to 100% the game (or at least as much as you can do in a save where you aren't going for the speedrunning achievement). Fun detective game with a nice vibe and a cool world. Minor annoyances with the wonky movement, how picking up anything, even the basic currency, stops the game for a popup, and the final accusations making it somewhat difficult to present all the evidence you have in a way you want. Even still, none of these are massive issues. Also, love the soundtrack.

Don't get this game because you want to make logical deductions or use insight to uncover facts - the mystery is an intriguing framing but not exactly inspired. But if you want to walk around a big pretty stage with cool music and learn about a bizarre alternate reality then get it anyway

PURE STYLE. The soundtrack and artwork for this game is absolutely killer; funky, punky and oozing with passion. Worth experiencing just for the style of it, the game also has really interesting worldbuilding/lore and cool characters. While the open-world-ish collectathon aspect might turn some off, it is largely optional to experiencing the core mystery (though exploration and hunting for clues absolutely deepens the experience greatly) I had fantastic fun with this game and will be grooving to the wonderful soundtrack for ages to come.

Fantastic story that oozes with style and flavour, would recommend for anyone looking for a unique open world mystery experience!

One of the best videogames i've played. Fantastic music, chill and fun gameplay, awesome visuals. Idk, shit i wrote reads like i am a bot, but trust me, this game slaps.

I rarely post reviews, but I thought I would make an exception for this game because I truly believe that it is something special. It has one of the most distinctive atmospheres I have ever seen in a game. The way the bright visuals blend with the incredible soundtrack and bizarre lore and characters gives a feeling all its own. I really enjoyed the story. It has a pleasing number of twists and it was very fun to piece together. I really like how the mythology and culture of the world intertwines with the mystery. The game doesn’t give you much in the way of exposition initially and expects you to piece things together about its world by way of dialogue and exploration. I personally find this very rewarding in a game. The gameplay is nothing particularly special. It’s basically a collectithon mixed with an ace attorney style investigation. The platforming controls are not the best and some puzzles are repetitive, but I honestly felt like these imperfections added to the charm. It really feels like a game a small team dumped their heart and soul into. I don’t think this game is for everyone, but I would strongly recommend it if you are the kind of person who really enjoys strong atmosphere or a good mystery and don’t mind some rough edges
