Forensic Master

Let me start by saying, I’m one of the people who understands the need for ads within a free game. I’ve read countless reviews on many different games prior to downloading where quite a few people are commenting on how there are “too many ads.” When I download those games, I generally find that to be a false statement and am not bothered by an ad every few levels to keep the game free for its users. This game, however, takes it to a new level with the ads. Want to play a level? Ad. End a level? Ad. Collect a gift? Ad. Play a “VIP” level? Ad. The levels themselves are quite literally 10 seconds of actual gameplay with an ad immediately following each one. People like myself would be happy to have an option to watch ads in exchange for extra prizes or points, but I feel most people are not going to continue playing this game for very long after downloading, due to the ad-to-gameplay ratio. I downloaded the game about a half hour ago and am deleting it after I finish this review. The gameplay itself is extremely easy and you don’t really need to use any critical thinking skills whatsoever, which adds to the frustration of such short “levels” with ads that take up 3x as much time as the levels. I hate to leave such a negative review, but I hope it helps someone nonetheless.

I downloaded this for my thirteen year old nephew to play, and all I hear is “great another ad”. So I went and played it. And literally every 15 seconds is an ad that is at least 20 seconds long before you can skip it. And if at the end of a level you have a choice to watch an ad for a gift or to “lose it” and not obtain the gift, and you choose “lose it” an ad still plays! Why give players the choice if you’re going to play a ridiculous ad that can’t be skipped anyhow? Typically I don’t mind ads when it’s after completion of a level or to get another chance at something. But when it’s an ad after completing a step, followed by a second ad as soon as it gets back to the game, then that’s ridiculous. And again, If you’re giving players the option to not receive a gift to skip watching an ad, maybe make it so an ad doesn’t play. I’ve deleted this game and will never download another game from this developer. Way to go ruining something that had potential to be a fairly cool game. And was definitely different than the normal “merge this crap” type game. But again, avoid this developer at all costs unless you want to spend more time watching ads as opposed to playing a game.

Usually Im not too bothered by adds in mobile games but this is terrible! It won’t even allow you to turn your wifi off to not deal with adds! Yes its a smart idea but as a player its very frustrating. There’s an add about every 2-3 levels which each level can be completed within 30 seconds so that is a lot. This game has a lot of thought put into it with every small aspect of forensic stuff in it, even including cleaning the body for a funeral. I only played this game for about 5 minutes just to realize a fifth of that time was spent watching adds! This is the total reason why I don't spend my time on these ridiculous games since nowadays its just adds, Adds, ADDS! If you can sit through or enjoy adds go ahead and play, I consider you a maniac. If you can’t handle them don’t even make a move towards that download button, you’ll most DEFINITELY regret it. If you read thank-you for your time I hope it makes a difference. :)
