The idea of a unique blend of word puzzles and detective investigation is an intriguing one, but that’s not what you’ll find here. Crossword City Chronicles is a no-frills port of a free-to-play, microtransaction-laden mobile game that ditched everything enjoyable about Scrabble in favour of a mind-numbing grind. The microtransactions may be gone, but the tedium remains, and without any hint of the promised “use [of]your detective skills” and the most lacklustre cases imaginable, tedium is all there is.
