User Reviews for Homicide Squad: Hidden Objects

They have changed since it was S.E.D.

I played this game when it was called S.E.D. (Special Enquiry Detective). I had leveled up in the game and had quite a few flashlights and other boosts. Then one day the game just wouldn't open. I enjoyed playing it but noticed the name changed to Homicide Detective. So silly me, I download the Homicide Detective thinking it will "update" my app and will sync my progress. Nope! It is a whole "new app" with the same characters and same stories, and my progress and power ups lost! I am forced to start over! Grrrrr! It has changed in its format somewhat. It now integrates the collections as you work the scene. Before those were basically left unfounded unless you wanted to play endlessly on a solved case and level up your "rank" in order to find the collection items, which I never did. Another change is they have "dumbed it down a bit" by keeping the hidden items in the same place, so it's easier to find them. Before, it was more of a challenge because they moved them around each time you played the scene. So here I am starting over from case 1 and without all my power ups, that I had accrued. The graphics and storyline still seem the same which were good, but the stories take forever to progress, which may make or break me. We will see if I stay interested. And if they try to force purchases in order to progress well then this game will be deleted.

UPDATE IS TERRIBLE!!!

Now that the game is updated, it now takes WAY too much energy to play each level. Before, the forensic level only used 17 energy, and now, it takes a 76 energy to complete the level. That is an incredibly INSANE jump. It takes forever for energy to refill, and even if it’s completely full, I can only play six or seven levels before I have to wait HOURS in order to even play ONE level. Additionally, they make it incredibly difficult to assemble a collection since they rarely give more than one token or item needed to assemble it. I used to love this game, but I’m thinking about deleting it. One time I didn’t play for an entire day, and I still didn’t have full energy. There is no reason that my energy doesn’t fully fill up in 24 hours. It seems like with every update, all they do is try and make the game more difficult to play without spending money. I really liked the game at first, but it’s getting ridiculous. I shouldn’t have to use so much energy to complete even basic levels.

Waste of time

I started playing this time when I was unemployed. I spent money when I shouldn’t have and looking back, it was a waste. Now that I have a clear mind, I can see what’s happening. I’m stuck on level 25 with nowhere to go unless I spend money to crystals to move the story along. I don’t have money in the back to unlock a scene, so I have to do other things like unlock collections but I can’t do that because I don’t have the items to do that. I have to go win games but they’ve become so frustratingly hard at this point that it’s near impossible not to buy crystals to get more moves in order to win the game. I refuse to spend more money and I have gone nowhere for days. That wasn’t the case when I spent money. Being in a stressful situation gave me something to do but this game added to that and now that the situation has changed, I don’t need this game anymore and I can see that my money was not well spent.

Homicide Squad

I like the seek and find rooms but have some complaints. Some of the items are hidden to the point you really, really, REALLY can’t find them. That is the most frustrating part of it all. I know you want people to buy you items and believe me I have but I am tired of wasting my inventory of objects I would never ever be able to find in the first place. I am very close to quitting the game altogether because of that.Also, on the Match 3 games, sometimes you have too many blocks to eliminate and only a very small amount of turns to do that in. Again, I know the point is for us to use our inventory and them buy more but it has me to the point of quitting.And what in the world is the money for? You can’t buy anything in the store with in. It’s kinda useless the way it accumulates but no real ways to use it.A help center would be nice.I think G5 should not try to make people buy, buy, buy all the time. It’s just too over the top.

I’m addicted...BUT

I have 2 player names. Why is it that when you go to purchase the single flashlight, user #1 buys them 10 for 7 diamonds and my new user account it cost 21 diamonds for 10. That’s FREAKING crazy! I would have given it 5 stars but there are a few things that happen. How can I be completely be out of cases or additional scenes when I’m showing tons of unopened crates in my collections. Bring them back. I spend quite a bit of money on this game and these scenes should be available. My game crashes every 5-6 scenes played (I’m up to date on my iOS for my iPad), the higher rank, the more energy it takes; so you’re not making any progress. I’m at 600 energy level and it takes a full day to restore my energy and the scenes take so much I only get 6-7 scenes to play and winning the scene only gets you 7-8 energy back. If they could fix that, I’d give it 5 stars. Otherwise I love this game and play it all the time.

Update made it frustratingly difficult

I've been really enjoying the game (with a few minor complaints, such as the incessant pushing of in-app purchases common to games like this that I didn't pay to get), but the latest update (version 1.9.8) has made the game much less fun. Before this update, some scenes were challenging, and some were easier, but overall it was a good mix of a decent enough challenge without being impossible. But, the latest update has added so many objects in a scene that it's overwhelming and no longer fun (additionally, some items have changed names and changed appearance). In one scene that I was reliably winning 4/5 attempts, I've now won 1 time in 10 attempts and it's getting frustrating. Additionally, they've changed the "add 45 seconds" boost if you fail a scene so that it not only uses up a boost in your inventory but says you may lose some other items from your inventory if you do use it. Umm ... no, thanks. Either make that an unlimited boost (that makes you lose something out of your inventory) or a boost limited to how many you have in your inventory.I suppose people weren't using enough hints (and buying more), and I get they need to make money. But if the game isn't fun, I just won't play at all. If I remain frustrated much longer, I'll probably just find another game to play, which is too bad, because I've been really enjoying this one.

Almost perfect game, but there’s no need for Match-3

Hidden object type games are my favorite games to play. I play another G5 game Crime Mysteries. Both that one and this one have phenomenal graphics especially the overhead shot of the cityscape. The scenes are perfect. It’s different almost every time you play with the same object looking different and in a different location in the scene. Objects can be under other objects. In other games I’ve played after a while the scene just comes down to memorizing where objects are and not much of a challenge except trying to get better scores. The only reason I didn’t give this game 5 stars is because there is a Match-3 aspect in the game play. G5 has enough Match-3 type games in their catalog that they didn’t need to put it in this game. Normally that would have knocked the rating down to 3 stars but in the time I’ve played this game I haven't had my game play interrupted by an ad for a G5 game. I probably jinxed myself for putting that in this review.One other thing that is annoying is the mini-game for gems is the same water slide where you avoid a spider first then the sludge and a shark. That mini game is also in Crime Mysteries. Would be nice if we got to try and escape a room that I’ve seen in ads for this very game.

Great idea, but too many problems

While this is a great hidden object detective game, there are several issues with the app, the most frustrating of which right now is that I cannot find the superstar sunglasses. I'm halfway through Sargent (on the yacht) and I haven't once found the item I need to continue, and I have the items and places nearly memorized, I've done it so many times. Super frustrating. But more relative to the general user, the biggest problem seems to be the night vision mode. It limits the screen space and makes everything a fuzzy green-black. I play this on my phone and have to zoom a lot, and items are still tiny, so having a further limited screen and no color cues makes it too difficult a challenge. Having a black object hidden behind a black screen is impossible to see in this mode, so you have to use the hint tools, which cost a ridiculous amount of crystals.

Not a Fan

I downloaded this game yesterday and deleted it today. First of all the dialogue goes on FORVER! It took me over three hours to solve ONE case! First you’re at the Crime Scene, then The Pub, then an apartment- back and forth, back and forth, all the while the endless monologue. And the Hidden Objects- You finally figure them out and begin to recognize them, then they are moved, change color, or placed behind something that you just can’t make out. Whilst it could have been a “fun” game, it was NOTHING like is shown in the Ads that are paraded through every other game. Finally- once you solve the first puzzle, you move on “somewhat” to the second which is worse. You’re in an apartment, then back to the pub, then in a mansion, then on a boat, then to the lab, then back to the apartment, then off to the pub. All the while the “ dead man’s” apartment keeps changing (which is a neat trick for a dead man), and the endless chatter of the Detectives goes on forever. Games shouldn’t be this cluttered with worthless nonsense. People want to have fun and enjoy themselves whilst in this quarantine. This is a game, not a “made for TV Movie!

Best Hidden Object Game!

It's more than just a simple search game, it has an awesome story line where you're a detective solving homicide cases. Each step you take requires you to complete a hidden object room/level. There are several different rooms starting out (and more added each new case) with a different version of each room every time you enter that room. There is one room that is a match three or more style game, similar to Candy Crush®️ that earns valuable items to solve the case. There are boosters or special items you can buy to assist you in progressing to the next step of the case. You can buy these boosters either by spending your earned credits/cash or diamonds from completed cases, or buy them in the games online store. I've completed all cases and waiting on a new one to be added but still have endless hidden object rooms to solve. This game has something for everyone. I highly recommend it.
