Despite some initial confusion over the puzzle aspects of Murderous Muses – which I blame more on the way my brain works than the game, sometimes I need to be blatantly told something or I miss the obvious – I still felt that I got a really complete experience. The mash-up of a procedurally-generated environment with FMV is highly successful, and fit together hand in hand. I came into this game loaded with expectations and fearful of being let down… but that fear was completely unfounded. I mean, I’m a games journalist/critic with a degree in art history and a love of true crime – Murderous Muses was basically made for me!

Murderous Muses changes things up by mixing gameplay with FMV sequences to create a pretty compelling murder mystery experience. Exploring the gallery and trying to piece together who the murderer could was fun and each playthrough being different makes it compelling to jump back in whether you solve the case your first time or not. If you enjoy FMV games or want one that has some gameplay mixed in then this should be worth your time and money. *Murderous Muses is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC.

Making some interesting use of FMV segments, and promising to play out a bit differently each time, Muses has promise but requires patience I’ve actually taken my time thinking this one over, as it feels like a game I should be more enamored with but I just can’t seem to feel anything more than lukewarm about, at best.
