Perhaps it’s asking too much to lay out a fully-detailed, 1:1 geometry of a city like Paris while one is on route, yet the repetitive nature of one’s journey on a visual side does tend to work against what is, in actuality, a fair approach to dialog-based investigatory work here. Hopefully the variety in its NPC passengers, as well as some worthwhile dilemmas pertaining to which fares to prioritize, can help give Night Call the gameplay edge it so clearly seeks.
Microsoft has announced that several games are leaving Xbox Game Pass for console, cloud, and PC. Among them are Ace Combat 7, Night Call, and more.
I used to be a big ace combat fan back in the day so ill give this a go before it goes off gamepass.
The Humble Raw Fury 2020 Bundle just launched today. It features games like Night Call, Mosaic, Kingdom Two Crowns, Bad North: Jotunn Edition, Whispers of a Machine, and more.
"Night Call ultimately feels like it’s missing something crucial to tie it all together. I think the game would’ve been better if it really was just about driving around Paris getting to know these people who are living out their everyday lives. The mystery-solving is half baked, and the fact that you can’t carry the stories of your passengers forward into future cases just makes me wish the mystery wasn’t there at all. I really did love the conversations I had with the game’s diverse cast, but in the end I was just left frustrated that I wouldn’t be able to see them through to their end without slogging through a lot of stuff I’d already seen."
