COGconnected: 29 / 100 by Lewis Rees
If you absolutely have to pick up this game, do yourself a favor and play Detective mode. You’ll get through it three times as fast and can move onto something worth your time
GameSkinny: 6 / 10 by Mark Delaney
This Is The Zodiac Speaking salvages a faulty setup by offering a secondary story mode that is much more enjoyable to play than its main draw.
Nindie Spotlight: 6.3 / 10 by Justin Nation
While I've generally found first-person exploration adventure-type games like this to be a drag in their pacing I do appreciate that in this case the game has taken on a quasi-historic element of a member of the press chasing down the Zodiac killer to add interest...
