DETECTIVE PIKACHU

Platform: Nintendo 3DS

- – GARETH SEILER

The Pokémon series is well known for its spinoffs – apart from the massive success of Pokémon Go there have been fighting games as well as photograph­y games.

Detective Pikachu adds another genre to the mix – the point-and-click adventure – and it’s pulled off with style.

Pikachu, who comes across as a stern, middle-aged man with his frequent catchphras­e, “A bolt of brilliance!”, makes the game shine – despite his grizzled veteran detective persona he’s funny, sassy and lovable, and the voice acting is top notch.

This offshoot is a must-have game for 3DS and holds its own against any of the main Pokémon games.
