Rule #917 of Gallo, "Don't load the game under a different profile and presume your save was erased." I made this mistake, and thought all my progress was lost!
Point-and-click adventure Detective Gallo has made the leap from PC to PS4. Is it worth a playthrough? We explore in our Detective Gallo PS4 review.
Let the investigations of the most feathered detective begin in Detective Gallo, a point & click comic-noir adventure that is entirely hand-illustrated and hand-animated.
So, it's a good-looking game with a beautiful visual style; the story and the characters are well-crafted; and the dialogue is pretty witty. It's not too hard a case to crack either, and it's nice to play an adventure that can be enjoyed by both young and old alike. The herbicidal story is a welcome break from the heavier games of today, and while it's not a genre classic there's a fun point and click adventure to play through here.
I began Detective Gallo feeling quite peckish for some good point-and-click action. Unfortunately, though, the game has me migrating elsewhere, as Detective Gallo’s cockiness as a character was very grating, and I found myself beginning to moult as a result. The visual artists for the game are absolutely no yolk and deserve high praise. Therefore, I will egg on the developers at Footprints Games, as there is some potential hidden within Detective Gallo that gives me hope for them to create an excellent game that will ruffle everyone’s feathers.
