An Immersive Detective Story | L.A. Noire Retrospective

Today, we're going to look at an immersive detective story with Rockstar and Team Bondi's 2011 modern classic L.A. Noire. In the wake of games like Grand Theft Auto and Saint's Row, L.A. Noire stood out from other action-adventure sandbox games by putting you on the side of the law rather than as a criminal. You can examine crime scenes, find evidence, and interrogate witnesses to solve the case — all told through the lens of 1940's Los Angeles. It's a wonderfully realized setting and a perfect backdrop for the noir-style narrative, but how well does L.A. Noire hold up today? That's what we're gonna find out. #LANoire #ColePhelps #Rockstar
