Detailed Review

Homicide Squad: New York Cases positions itself in the crowded hidden object adventure market with a police procedural theme that distinguishes it from fantasy or supernatural alternatives. Developed by G5 Entertainment, the game tasks players with solving murder cases across various New York locations, combining investigation mechanics with traditional hidden object gameplay. The app maintains a consistent visual style that effectively captures the gritty atmosphere of crime investigation while remaining accessible to casual players. The core gameplay revolves around crime scene examination, evidence collection, and suspect interrogation. Each case progresses through multiple locations where players search for hidden items, analyze clues, and piece together timelines. The investigation mechanics include fingerprint dusting, DNA analysis, and witness interviews that create a comprehensive detective experience. Unlike many mobile games in this category, the energy system allows players to earn back spent energy by completing levels, reducing the typical frustration of energy-limited gameplay that plagues similar titles. In practical use, the game provides substantial content with dozens of cases that can occupy players for weeks. The difficulty curve gradually increases as players advance, introducing more complex crime scenes and challenging hidden object scenarios. Navigation between locations feels intuitive, though some users report performance issues on older devices. The hint system proves valuable during particularly difficult searches, regenerating at a reasonable pace that prevents excessive waiting or forced purchases. User feedback reveals a divided experience regarding technical performance. Many players praise the engaging storylines and graphics, with one reviewer noting 'The story lines are exciting. The graphics are amazing.' However, multiple users report persistent freezing and loading problems, particularly after recent updates. One player detailed how 'the game freezes on startup sometime or it locks up when it does load,' despite repeated reinstallations. This technical inconsistency appears to be the primary drawback in an otherwise well-regarded experience. Overall assessment finds Homicide Squad: New York Cases delivers compelling detective gameplay with fair monetization, though potential players should be aware of reported performance issues. The engaging cases and generous energy system provide significant value for hidden object enthusiasts, while the technical problems seem to affect a subset of users rather than representing universal flaws. Regular updates from the development team suggest ongoing support, though the freezing complaints indicate room for optimization improvements.

FIXED NOW! Other games do not come close to this one. Addicted to this game. Until recently played it every day. Would give it 5 stars, but now can not play because it freezes on startup sometime or it locks up when it does load. Takes a super long time to continue after you click on a button or scroll to another spot on the screen. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled numerous times and that doesn't change anything.

This is my favorite game of the many that I play. I love the story lines they are entertaining and just fun. The graphics are amazing and the G5 support team are wonderful . I have been playing Homicide Squad for a couple of years and have never had a problem with the game...Until about 2 or 3 months ago..To tell you the truth I don't know how long it's been exactly but it's awhile. My game is constantly freezing. I have contacted Support I am going thru terrible withdrawals. Hurry and Fix It

Other find-it games have really annoying energy systems that drain fast and recharge super slow. In another game, I literally paid for 600 energy and it got spent in ONE find-it picture. In this game, you EARN energy. You spend it to play a level, but then earn it by completing a level. I've played for as long as I like and neber run low on energy. Fun, relaxing, and engaging all at the same time!
