I find it extremely disappointing that LA Noire sets itself up as an open-ended detective work game, only for it to be incredibly linear

Just a brief rant post. Always heard this game is an overlooked gem in the Rockstar catalogue, but im a few hours into it and I don’t know if I can agree. The game is incredible with its presentation and setup, but the delivery is shaky. After the first few cases I thought for sure that the game would allow you to sink or swim on your own, lending itself for more subjectivity within the parameters of the investigations and suspect interrogations, but… not really. It’s an extremely linear game
