User blog:NauticalBall/Roblox Game Review: Murder Mystery 2

The second edition of my game reviews, I will be covering Murder Mystery 2: The most unnecessary sequel of all time.

Preface MM2, as it is called, is a game where players try to solve a murder "mystery" (translation: don't get stabbed, or don't be wrongly accused by the sheriff) in a multitude of maps. The game's concept is simple. There are three game modes, Classic, where spoiled brats get to blast crappy music on their radios; Hardcore: The only enjoyable gamemode (its locked in first person, no radios, pets or toys, and every player is disguised.) This should be the only game mode. Assassin: definitely not a carbon copy, code-for-code duplicate of Assassin!; which is an amazing game might I add.

Gameplay The gameplay is straightforward. You run around aimlessly, trying not to get stabbed. That's the whole game.

If you're an "Innocent", that is.

Sheriff, the role that you have the LEAST chance of becoming, has one task: kill the murderer. This, however, is EXTREMELY difficult, as most murderers resort to jumping, in an effort to not get stabbed. When the sheriff dies, the gun drops onto the map, allowing innocents to become the fourth role, which I will get to in a moment.

Murderer, which is quite entertaining, allows you to run around the map and STAB YOUR ENEMIES. You are, unfortunately, disadvantaged. For instance, murderers get perks. The default is "footsteps", which, when a round begins, is disorienting. Don't even try to get the other perks, they cost an arm and a leg. Just another portion of Nikilis's GREAT MONETIZATION SCHEME.

The Hero, albeit not an actual role, is still a function. The hero is any innocent that picks up the sheriff's gun and kills the murderer.

Other There's a lot that's good about this game, but there's WAY more that is BADBADBAD. Radios: remove them! they are nothing but a nuisance. They are distracting, annoying and don't need to exist. Simply put, remove them.

THE MONETIZATION....

Nikilis, like any other dev wants to make money. I don't blame him for that. BUT IT'S WAYY TOO MUCH!!!

"hEy kIdS!!! wAnNA bUy mY sHaDoW pAcK?? ItS only 1200 ROBUX!!! BUY ELITE! BUY RADIO! GIMME MONEY! GIMME MONEY! GIMME MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!"

The interface is nice, it isn't too horrid to look at. The in-game currency is really expensive, especially diamonds, which, LET ME REMIND YOU, H A V E T O B E B O U G H T W I T H R O B U X Also, the coins oftentimes clip through the map, and are quite distracting.

This is not a bad game in any sense of the word. There are just SO MANY FLAWS, that it's pretty ridiculous.

My PERSONAL pet peeve, is the fact that its now r15. R6 was wayyy better, and is, IMO, the best of the animations.

Conclusion

Murder Mystery 2, or, as I like to call it, "DONT GET STABBED. WASTE YOUR MONEY SIMULATOR", is a game that has a lot of potential, but lacks in some key areas.

Score Interfacing: 5/5

Gameplay: 7/10

Monetization: 1/10 (too much)

Overall Score: 4.5/10

You'll likely have more fun playing "The Normal Elevator", talk about a snoozefest.
