graphics15 positive mentions
story3 negative mentions
  • Faithful and polished digital adaptation of the classic Clue/Cluedo board game with multiple game modes including Classic, Ultimate Detective, and Clue Cards that add variety and keep gameplay fresh.
  • Great multiplayer options allowing play with AI, friends locally, and online with smooth matchmaking and cross-platform support; also good for solo play with challenging AI at higher difficulties.
  • High-quality 3D graphics, animations, atmospheric music, and character designs that add charm and modernize the experience while maintaining the essence of the original game.
  • Most additional content like extra boards, characters, and cosmetics are behind pricey DLC paywalls, which can feel like a cash grab and limit the base game’s content to essentially one map and set of characters.
  • AI opponents sometimes behave illogically or repetitively, making questionable or premature accusations and repeating suggestions, which can be frustrating and reduce challenge.
  • Gameplay can be slow with unskippable animations and waiting on long AI or player turns; online play can have matchmaking issues and occasional crashes; interface and note-taking features could be more intuitive and faster.

  • graphics

    45 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 60% neutral mentions, 7% negative mentions

    The game's graphics have been generally praised for their crisp, detailed 3D visuals and refined, storybook-like aesthetic that modernizes the franchise while respecting its legacy. However, opinions vary, with some appreciating the upgrade from older versions and improved animations, while others find the new 3D character designs less appealing or the graphics overall somewhat bland and lacking standout qualities. Overall, the visuals enhance the experience but may not satisfy all fans expecting a stronger nostalgic or artistic impact.

    • “The board, characters, and environments are rendered with a refined, almost storybook-like aesthetic that feels respectful of the franchise’s legacy while still feeling modern.”
    • “Its visuals have the style of a high-quality illustration, and the 3D art used for models and environments is very good and nicely detailed.”
    • “The graphics are very well done, the game looks much better and the animations are good.”
    • “Otherwise, I think classic is more atmospheric with its old 2D images, than this new version with its rather crude '3D' based graphics.”
    • “The latter is a joke, graphic quality and visuals are really bad.”
    • “- edges/lines with the graphics (e.g. around the characters) are still jagged despite the highest anti-aliasing setting.”

  • gameplay

    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    27% positive mentions, 63% neutral mentions, 10% negative mentions

    The gameplay faithfully replicates the classic Clue/Cluedo board game with polished animations, multiple game modes, and a smooth digital implementation that eases learning. While some find it engaging and appreciate the variety and detail, others deem it antiquated, with slow pacing and a lack of innovation detracting from the experience. Overall, it offers solid, recognizable mechanics but may feel too familiar or sluggish for players seeking dramatic changes or faster gameplay.

    • “The gameplay sticks faithfully to the original script, with players gathering clues in a turn-based dance around a virtual mansion.”
    • “The digital implementation also makes it easier for newcomers to learn, lowering the barrier to entry without oversimplifying the core mechanics.”
    • “The DLCs genuinely feel fully optional which is amazing within itself, the note system works very well too, the different gameplay types are nice to be able to spice it up a bit, and the online connections run very smoothly which I super appreciate!”
    • “The text was minuscule (if you have a larger monitor, it's eye-strain to the nth) and the gameplay was nonexistent.”
    • “While it's a good reproduction of the board game, I can't give it a positive score as the gameplay is terrible and feels antiquated to say the least.”
    • “You can wait half an hour for a person to roll the dice and the game will do nothing about it.”

  • music

    29 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    41% positive mentions, 49% neutral mentions, 10% negative mentions

    The music in the game is widely praised for its atmospheric, engaging, and well-suited soundtrack that enhances the mood of the murder mystery. Players appreciate its variety, non-repetitive nature, and the way it complements animations and gameplay, though a few note that newer tracks feel simpler or less exciting. Overall, the soundtrack is considered a strong and memorable aspect that adds to the game's immersive experience.

    • “Subtle animations, atmospheric music, and polished transitions give each match a sense of occasion, making even familiar mechanics feel engaging.”
    • “As with the first game, the atmosphere is great, and the music is really beautiful and suited to the Cluedo atmosphere.”
    • “The music is a perfect fit for the mood of a murder mystery, and the sounds are nice whenever a suspected murder weapon is picked.”
    • “- Adjusting the music volume doesn't change the volume of the loading screen when you start a game.”
    • “- New music is simple and boring;”
    • “And not to mention the music that doesn't really put you in a relaxed mood or actually a mood that brings the classic aesthetics in every element of 1949.”

  • replayability

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    40% positive mentions, 30% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions

    The game offers high replayability through its variable difficulty settings, multiple game modes, and engaging online multiplayer, which keep each mystery fresh and challenging. Replay value primarily stems from the unique player dynamics and deduction process rather than evolving content or unlockables. Reviewers praise it as a fun, logically satisfying murder mystery with strong potential for expanded content to further enhance replayability.

    • “There is a lot of replayability thanks to the various difficulty settings, different game modes, and, of course, the online multiplayer option.”
    • “The replay value hinges on the enduring charm of a mystery that resets with each game, inviting players to sharpen their wits or resign themselves to the same predictably unpredictable outcomes.”
    • “Much of the replay value comes from the inherent variability of deduction and the personalities of the players involved, rather than from evolving systems or unlockable content.”
    • “There should be this kind of content in the game for free to make it as replayable as possible.”

  • story

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    22% positive mentions, 45% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The story aspect is praised for its surprising plot twists and expanded lore not present in the original board game, featuring multiple storylines and a variety of characters. The narrative is enriched with engaging challenges, modes, and achievements that deepen player immersion and motivation to explore the game's lore. Additionally, the story is complemented by a refined, modern aesthetic that honors the franchise’s legacy.

    • “Not to mention the story information that wasn't in the board game!”
    • “I feel more compelled to play 'just one more game' even if it's just to see more lore or some kind of tidbit of storyline.”
    • “Not only did we upgrade from PS1 graphics to PS2 graphics from the original release, we also got two more modes and a mass amount of tedious quests to complete their own little pieces of lore with the map-oriented case files!”
    • “In Clue 2023, they added an entire storyline with challenges, permanent battle passes, and the opportunity to unlock the lore of the game as you complete challenges.”
    • “The plot twist (the shocking truth)”

  • atmosphere

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    44% positive mentions, 56% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The atmosphere is consistently praised for its immersive and evocative qualities, combining subtle animations, fitting music, and polished visuals to create a tense yet engaging ambiance. While some prefer the classic 2D style for its nostalgic charm, the newer 3D graphics and well-crafted environments successfully enhance the feeling of suspense and urgency. Overall, the game excels in building a compelling atmosphere that draws players into its mysterious settings.

    • “Atmosphere clings to the mansion like a faint mustiness, evoking the spirit of genteel suspicion rather than outright terror.”
    • “Subtle animations, atmospheric music, and polished transitions give each match a sense of occasion, making even familiar mechanics feel engaging.”
    • “But where I think the game really shines is in building the atmosphere; both of the available levels (the manor and resort) have a really amazing ambience that made you feel the clock was ticking before it was too late.”

  • grinding

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The grinding in the game is considered tedious and excessive, with many quests and unlockables that feel repetitive and time-consuming. Although the achievements system adds some motivation, it doesn't fully alleviate the grind, especially as some unlocked content lacks associated rewards.

    • “The new achievements system is a nice touch, but it is unfortunately a bit too grindy.”
    • “Unlocking stuff can become a tedious grind, and is made worse by the fact that there's no achievements associated with unlocking the unlocked stuff.”
    • “Not only did we upgrade from PS1 graphics to PS2 graphics from the original release, we also got two more modes and a mass amount of tedious quests to complete their own little pieces lore with the map-oriented case files!”

  • humor

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor in the game is well-received, with many players appreciating its funny moments and hilarious animations, making it especially enjoyable for small groups.

    • “Love this game, great for a small party of people, lots of funny moments.”
    • “I find the animations hilarious and enjoy its music alright.”
    • “Funny.”

  • stability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game's stability is inconsistent, with frequent bugs in multiplayer causing crashes, freezes, and occasional visual glitches. These issues sometimes force players to close the game abruptly, detracting from the overall experience.

    • “Randomly, after a few minutes the screen goes completely black, or the game freezes and I am forced to force close it to exit as I cannot play.”
    • “Pretty buggy when it comes to multiplayer, but the games are short and fun.”
    • “A few visual glitches with the animation, AI opponents that don't seem to have a firm grasp on the rules, and poorly worded challenges in the English version are perhaps the only drawbacks to this version of the game.”

  • optimization

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game is generally well-optimized, running smoothly for the most part without significant performance issues.

    • “All that being said, the game runs smoothly for the most part.”
    • “But all that being said, the game runs smoothly enough.”

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

  • monetization
