RICO London (PS4)

As soon as I started playing, the gritty New Year's Eve atmosphere pulled me in—it feels like you're really walking those rain-slicked London streets. The detective work feels meaningful, and I love piecing together clues about the arms trade while the countdown to midnight ticks away.

Played through a couple of hours and the detective work feels genuinely engaging, with clues to piece together in that Millennium Eve setting. The atmosphere is tense and the voice acting for Redfern is solid point. Really makes me want to solve the case.

The opening cutscene set the mood perfectly, and the detective work feels genuinely tense. I was hooked from the first New Year's Eve mission.
