### 5/5 — Cinema

*2026-06-12, version 1.44*

A incredible game in a incredible series

### 5/5 — wwe boy vs girl

*2026-06-02, version 1.44*

it is good

### 2/5 — Different, but not as good as the others.

*2026-05-01, version 1.44*

I don’t like the new time limit we have.  These games are usually relaxing, but this one is not.  This game sends us into panic mode.

Also, my game ended up glitching.  One of the pets (the green lizard)that we’re not supposed to get until after we finished the first case in the age of sail, the game glitched and gave me that pet when I was still in the renaissance era.

### 1/5 — Fonctionnement nullissime

*2026-04-24*

L'histoire est top, j'aime beaucoup les autres jeux Criminal case, mais alors le fonctionnement de celui là est à s'arracher les cheveux. Etre obligé de recommencer les mêmes scènes en boucle à grands coups de dépense d'énergie (sans rien gagner à la fin si on a le malheur de ne pas trouver un pauvre objet), ou dépenser des sommes folles en pièces pour les bonus. C'est juste hyper frustrant et me fait fermer le jeu à chaque échec, pas vraiment le meilleur moyen de fidéliser des joueurs... enfin bon, la franchise est à l'abandon depuis des années, donc personne ne se donnera la peine de ne serait-ce que lire cet avis.

### 3/5 — Advertisement

*2026-01-23, version 1.44*

As for Rocket Money keeps crashing crashing the game. Quite annoying and I keep losing out on the app. Please remove this advertising.

### 3/5 — oyun

*2025-11-11, version 1.44*

Her şeyi anladım herkes daha zor olduğunu söylemiş ama bana daha kolay geldi 1 yıldızı bir oynayışta alabiliyorsunuz diğer oyunlarda 2-3 kere oynamak zorunda kalıyorsunuz bence bu oyunda değiştirilmesi gereken en büyük özellik sürekli bir şeyleri laboratuvara götürüyoruz ve 12-13 saat bekliyoruz bu çok saçma acil bunu 3-4 saate düşürülmesi gerekiyor

### 3/5 — Avis sur le jeu: temps d’analyse trop long

*2025-09-11*

Bonjour,
Personnellement,je trouve le jeu excellent. Cependant,le temps d’attente des analystes est trop long,ce qui est assez frustrant. Attendre 18 heures ou 15 heures pour analyser des objets est excessivement long. J’espère que vous pourrez améliorer cet aspect,car le jeu est très bon par ailleurs

### 3/5 — Werbung

*2025-08-30*

Die letzte Aktualisierung hat augenscheinlich vor allem dazu gedient, auf dem Startbildschirm ein riesiges Werbe-Fenster für irgendein anderes Spiel einzubauen. Zum Glück logge ich mich nicht über FB oder Apple ein, so kann ich das Spiel gleich starten.
An alle, die sich über die Werbung zwischendurch beschweren: Man braucht das Internet nur für den Tagesbonus und zum Laden neuer Fälle. Also offline spielen!

### 1/5 — Hate the changes

*2025-07-24, version 1.43*

I have played all the previous Criminal Case games for years.  Absolutely love them.  This one……nope.  Will probably delete it and find a different hidden object game to keep me sharp.  I just don’t get the rewarding feeling that I got from the other format.

### 3/5 — Spoiled!!

*2025-06-09, version 1.43*

Bring back the old format! I’ve enjoyed these games back to old Grimsborough but you’ve spoiled it by putting in time limits on all the tasks and taking away the use of any partners. There used to be at least a bit of forethought about which partner to use as you were completing a task. Now it’s just boring and ploughing through just to get to the end. I hope the next episode is back in the old format.
