Once inside the Manor, your mission is to uncover clues scattered across its premises. The narrative takes a turn in the basement where you stumble upon your father's lifeless body and your companion offers to guide you through his memories to start finding clues on what has happened. This is the gateway to the game's combat and platforming aspects.

The Last Case of Benedict Fox shines with its stellar graphics both in the physical world and the memory realms. The meticulous attention to detail and the grotesque elements incorporated throughout the game make it a feast for the eyes. The perfect balance of colors, lighting, and contrast contributes to an immersive atmosphere. Another high point is the character progression and skill development. In the early stages of the game, you encounter a woman who trades ink from defeated enemies for tattoos that amplify your abilities. With a variety of options for both Benedict and his companion, the game offers an interesting progression system. The narrative, too, is noteworthy, packed with gripping dialogue, suspense, and unexpected plot twists.

However, the game does not come without its flaws. Its combat system and mechanics are the Achilles' heel. Even with a mastery of parries and combos, the combat often feels awkward and inconsistent. The gun, while powerful, suffers from slow cooldown times, though this can be mitigated by combining it with knife attacks. The dodge function is unreliable, failing to register on numerous occasions whether you're playing on a PC or using a controller. The game's control inconsistencies, especially on PC, lack the essential key binding options, forcing you to play with the preset controls. Therefore, if you're a newcomer to PC gaming, it's recommended to use a controller for a smoother gaming experience.
