Despite some awkwardness in English localization, this is the best Ace Attorney inspired game I have played. The murder plots are clever with fun twists, along with some great QOL in the form of a hint system and speeding up dialogue.

A very nice ace attorney-esque game with a strong historical basis, what's not to love

An absolutely incredible journey that will push you mentally and reward you emotionally. Masterful, educational, and extremely challenging (for me...). Be aware - audio is 90% Mandarin. I'm not fluent in Mandarin but I've studied it for years, so I was very pleased with the excellent voice acting in both English and Chinese. For those who can handle subtitles, or who study Chinese as a language or as a culture, this game is a treasure I cannot recommend enough. I can only hope this team has another game in the works!

I had such a good time playing this - very refreshing to get this take on a detective type game and the mysteries were very smart and made me think which I enjoyed a lot - I hope to see more from this series.

-Great game -Great story -Has a hint and a spoiler free answer in game for people that have brain fart like me (no need to google) -Has a skip button for minigame if you just want to play the story -The game also credited that it was inspired by games like ace attorney which is a plus for me

This game is a gem!! While the "playable" art is not too elaborated, it does justice to the enormous amount of hard work bleeding through the story. It's incredibly well written. It's constantly intriguing, every case is hard to solve and has a very satisfying ending, and I absolutely love when a game actually takes the time to teach me key points to understand its story better. Also, the characters get very lovable after just some minutes of gameplay. Afu is a sweet potato, MUST PROTECC For those of us that are still waiting for a new Ace Attorney game, this game not only fills the void but also opens a new path for a really, really interesting competition. Because it's got nothing to envy to that game. I'm intrigued to see Shen and Afu in a next adventure!

Jogo excelente! História muito boa, com casos super interessantes que aumentam gradativamente em seu nível de dificuldade. A lógica por trás de cada argumentação é super consistente. A narrativa casa perfeitamente com os acontecimentos históricos e raramente tomam liberdades narrativas; quando o fazem, os desenvolvedores deixam explícito nos registros históricos que posicionam o jogo dentro do contexto político chinês da época. 10/10

One of the best games I have played in a while, in terms of story. There was a duration where I questioned whether the mechanisms were even plausible. But everything was tied together extremely well at the end, with hints and references to the true ending being sprinkled throughout the whole game. Thank you for this game and the inspiration to fight for what you believe in.

The strong point is definitely the setting. Throughout the game, you get some history explanations, which are a nice touch. The cases are not too long, but very enjoyable!

This game should have extensions or a new similar game. The game play is very enjoyable and satisfied. The background music is really good, and not as noisy as Ace Attorney which gave me headache after a while.

This game is actually really good. The characters speak Chinese when you are in China, and English when he is talking to non Chinese. The game is interesting and serious.

Overall: MOTYR is an engaging mystery detective game that has you cracking tough murder cases. The overall story, cute animations, and great dialogue all add to the game's charm. If you enjoy Ace Attorney or mystery stories, this game comes highly recommended. Pros: - The main story raises the stakes of the game due to the personal nature of the murder in relation to the main character. As the game progresses, you get more insight into why the MC is doing what he does. - The game provides historical information about the era and Chinese lore. - The animated scenes within the game are creative, fun, and cute. - The game strikes a great balance of using your own deduction skills and nudging you down the path to solve the murders without holding your hand. There is an option to receive hints if you get stuck. - Each chapter can be done in 1-2 hours depending on how thorough and slow you want to take the game, which is broken up perfectly into consumable bites. Cons: - The amount of information in each chapter can at times be overwhelming. Final Rating: 8.8/10

I loved this game, it's similar to Ace Attorney but with a more grounded story. The historical and forensic-science facts were really interesting, too. I hope they make a sequel.

I'm a huge lover of detective games like the ace attorney series. This game was really really really fun! I love the detective and his assistants relationship and characters. The game mechanics were easy and fun to use and gave me enough hints if I was really confused but enough for me also to figure it out on my own. I learnt a lot about history in China too! I highly recommend you give this game a try!

If you love the Ace Attorney Investigations games from recently playing the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection, you will love this adventure of solving murders in early twentieth century China.

This has pretty much everything I want from a deduction game. Puzzles that are difficult and yet not so much that I can't figure it out while still feeling smart. A great story with tie ins to real history that make me appreciate the setting. Great twists. I just wish that the last chapter was translated to english which I'm hoping is in the plans. I loved the setting especially because it was unfamiliar by being Chinese while adding elements i am very familiar with as someone who loves the genre and thus knows a lot about Sherlock Holmes and the usual deduction vocabulary used. Overall, highly recommend!

This is pretty much a spirtual succeessor to the Ace Attorney series, capturing everything that made it so beloved: relatable characters, interesting murder mysteries and a great interconnected story. As a cherry on top it's a bit more mature, there's less comedy relief and barely any dumb jokes. And most important - the translation feels very good, which is super important in such a text heavy game. There's also a lot of contextual information which helps understand the setting for players not familiar with the history and evolution of the Chinese justice system during the period in which the game is roughly set in. I totally recommend it for anyone craving that crime mystery fix.

"I am a fucking prosecutor!" This game had the balls to use the line that Capcom won't let Edgeworth say. 10/10

If you liked the Ace Attorney Games, and especially if you happened to enjoy the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles in particular, then this game is probably one you'll enjoy quite a lot. Murders on the Yangtze River is definitely a good game for scratching the Ace Attorney itch, and it's actually quite accessible even if you struggle a bit with picking out the correct evidence or anything along those lines like in the base Ace Attorney games where you might get stuck for a good while trying to figure out the contradiction with its hint system. You basically can get a free basic hint if you're struggling to put together what you should be looking for, and if all else fails, an option to see the answer itself after that just to save getting stuck in place for ages. Which is just a nice thing to have. Combine that with the usual Ace Attorney formula of mystery, an overarching narrative that ties together by the end like the Ace Attorney Chronicles, and surprisingly a good few fairly well animated CG's and a really good soundtrack, and this game absolutely fits the Ace Attorney niche that many folks might be looking to fill the gap for until the next game gets released. 100% recommend giving it a shot.

Wow, this game had me gripped and locked in from the first story. This plays similarly to a Pheonix Wright game, only there's more freedom of movement and discovery. LOTS of deductive reasoning, and the game gives you the ability to rely on hints as needed. I didn't use any, and it took LOTS of effort. Extremely satisfying experience, and I can't recommend this game enough! If you're a fan of the murder mystery genre, what are you waiting for?!? I put 21 hours in over the course of 3 days. I could barely peel myself away. Can't wait to try the DLC!
