The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story Reviews
If you like investigative dramas and are interested in something that's more interactive than your typical TV show, Centennial Case might be up your alley.
For those who would still like to try the game in intrigue, it is recommended to maintain its original Japanese voice instead of the English dub. Though a good option for accessibility, the English dub hires voice actors that make a scene almost unbearable to watch because of the lack of emotions in their delivery. While there are FMVs with great dubs, this is definitely not one of them.
The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story goes against the FMV adventure title mold and offers more interactivity than usual, which works in its favor.

Due to this lack, The Centennial Case is therefore not recommended for the full price of 50 euros. Now it's the hypotheses that make you think before you point out a culprit, but if the puzzling around it had been just a little more exciting, then this game would have come out much stronger. All the other elements in the game are very well worked out and will not get bored for a moment. With an offer, this is therefore an absolute must for anyone who loves a good mystery.
