Its platforming and combat mechanics too often drove me up the wall – or, rather, slipping down it – but the saving grace among these frustrations was always how nice this world feels. There's even a bit of survival horror in there too, whereby examining key items up close, and discovering hidden compartments or decipherable codes, becomes a vital part of your process.Īll of this, of course, is wrapped up in The Last Case of Benedict Fox's gorgeously vibrant and cartoonish art style.

With just a handful of enemy types – namely land and air-based demons stalking the shadows of Limbo – fights tend to see you hammering baddies with your blade in order to charge your flare gun, and then blasting whatever's left standing before you. Combat in The Last Case of Benedict Fox is a mixed bag.
