Detective Pikachu Returns is a cute mystery that loses some of its predecessor's tactile, puzzling charm.
Detective Pikachu Returns MSRP $50.00 Score Details “Detective Pikachu Returns works as a charming interactive cartoon, but it's simplified deduction takes some of the mystery out of it.” Pros Cons Product provided by Nintendo.
Related Like recent mainline Pokémon games, Detective Pikachu Returns struggles to find a way for the franchise’s wide-ranging fanbase to coexist. Childproofed investigation systems don’t leave much room for surprise in a string of heavily telegraphed cases. Thankfully, both kids and adults will find some common ground in a playful adventure that has a lot of fun bringing personality to the series’ various critters.
Despite that, I still think fans of all ages will find entertainment here so long as they’re willing to accept Detective Pikachu Returns for what it is. After trudging through a slow opening, I was eventually able to give myself to the adventure by its standout third chapter . There’s even a little thematic thread to untangle as the narrative explores what it means for humans and critters to “peacefully coexist.
It’s a surprising downgrade from the first game, which asked players to use just a bit more brain power. Deductions were more like puzzles there; one asked players to fix a mural by dragging different Pokémon where they’re supposed to be in the painting based on context clues. There’s nothing like that here, which feels like a direct side-effect of dropping the original’s stylus-based tactile gameplay.
While there are a few extra twists in stealth sections and button-mashing quick-time events, some of the best deduction is simply mental puzzle work. My favorite moments came whenever I’d have to figure out what kind of Pokémon could explain puzzling case developments.
Not everything is as charmingly produced. It largely still feels like I’m playing a Nintendo 3DS game from a visual standpoint. Though colorful, there’s not much detail to really bring the world to life.
