The Case of the Golden Idol is quite a treat for fans of puzzle/detective stories. You follow a story about a device that gives people strange powers, but as a "3rd person helicopter" observer. Being given clues about 12 different cases, you are tasked to chronologically put the story together.
The story in itself is quite interesting, and solving the cases can be quite challenging due the introduction of constant new characters and places. On the one hand, this makes the game that much more nuanced, but on the other, it also becomes quite convoluted when you approach the ending.
And that is my main gripe with this game: after a while, you are given so many clues that it becomes frustrating to keep an overview of all the clues you have collected so far. To be honest, I recommend people to keep a system (such as only collecting clues about people first, etc.) instead of collecting all the clues right away. It doesn't help that dragging and dropping clues is a bit wonky, either.
Next to the main story of The Case of the Golden Idol, I also played both DLC's and reviewed them separately. I do think the main story is much better than the DLC's. However, playing both DLC's does give a lot of context to the events of the main game, so they are defitinely worth checking out.
