Yeah! Nice entry in the MicroMacro series, a new map and cases so you're not doubling up if you've played the board games, and a few neat nods to the digital format (like being able to see inside certain buildings). The only issue here is it's unfinished. Literally: at the end of the paid full version, the cases only take you across 4 of the cities 9 areas. Presumably there's paid DLC to come. Still, there's about as much content already in here as one of the physical games, and much cheaper!

As someone who played all of the boardgame MicroMacro games I was incredibly excited for the app version. I love how much detail has gone in, especially the bits where you have to zoom right in on the smallest of details. The tracking of things with the red marks also makes it easy to find things again. Can't wait for more content to be added to unlock more of the city!

I don't usually leave reviews, however I played the Micro Macro: Crime City board game a while ago and saw the app was now available so thought I'd give it a go! Absolutely loved it! Although it is a short game in the whole scheme of things, it's fantastic to play over a few days. Really feels like it adapted well to being digital with extra details being hidden within cases! It would be great if there was a "Where's Wally?" style addition for the overall map too! Some great hidden scenes!
