I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: LA Noire is the best game ever made. Perfectly blending everyday detective work with a rousing narrative and authentic 1940s setting, I’ve written a dissertation on it, recommended it to friends in 2024, and quoted Rusty far too many times. So, imagine my face when I saw Sleight of Hand, a stealth game from the creators of Hideo Kojima’s puzzler, Framed. My two favorite genres colliding in a stylish, magical noir world: for this writer, it’s an instant wishlist.
