No such thing as easy mode – Mr Jack Pocket Review

If I have one complaint, it's that the designers really need to reevaluate the levels on their AI. I'm all for a challenge but the AI on this for Easy Difficulty should really be Middle or Hard. Even on Easy Mode it makes no mistakes, it never errors in your favor. Most times it gives you no options. Hard Mode, so far, seems nearly impossible to beat. Critical tiles get cut off in round one and the AI works to make sure you can never get a clear line to them. Think you've got it, the AI will find a way to undo that before the round is over. Every time. That's fine for Hard Mode. But there's not much difference between Easy and Hard Mode and that may discourage a lot of players. It may also really frustrate a lot of people into giving up. Other than that, i really wish the game had some kind of undo feature. Whether it's accidentally swiping the wrong piece or inadvertently hitting "okay" instead of rotating a piece another quarter turn, there are a lot of easy mistakes to make that will sink your entire game. Sadly there's no way to correct any of these. There's no undo. There's no "are you sure", you're just kind of stuck. I also with pieces were titles more clearly. The game allows you to include several real life suspects, but you'll never know who they are because you can't see names and cards flash pretty quickly. Over all a decent challenging game that may drive away the easily frustrated.
