Detective Pikachu is a surprisingly charming Telltale-like game filled with humor, twists, and a sassy electric rodent. More than a mish-mash of minigames, it's a shockingly solid title with first-class voice acting.
Detective Pikachu is a 3DS game where players help Tim Goodman, a young man searching for his missing father in Ryme City, a place where Pokémon and humans coexist. Tim teams up with a talking Pikachu, who has detective skills, as they investigate Pokémon-related incidents and solve various cases to find Tim's father. The unique adventure combines puzzle-solving and dialogues to uncover the mysteries of Ryme City.
