I would recommend playing those games first to get your detective fix if you haven't already. And if you’re done with both games and all of The Golden Idol’s DLC, then you’d be better off having a look somewhere else. Shadows of Doubt is too lost in its own procedurally generated sauce to provide a rewarding experience for gamers excited about its many lofty promises.
A compliment sandwich always tastes best when it comes to reviews, so I’ll leave you with this: I’d recommend the game despite its blemishes. Phoenix Springs is a self-contained experience with something to say, and these kinds of games don’t come around as often as I’d like them to. You’d do well to support Calligram’s garage band vibe and dive into Iris’ story for yourself. The secrets there may surprise you. Of that, though, I can’t be sure. What I can guarantee is that you’ll be floored by the game’s atmosphere and the narrative payoff contained within its shadowy depths.
