What about Murdered: Soul Suspect? Gameplay is unique crime-solving mechanics, but not really as complex as L.A. Noire. There's more emphasis on collecting (or it makes up a greater percentage of the gameplay). I found it very enjoyable, though.

That's what I came up with initially, and I was like "is there anything else besides this?" - but very good that you mentioned it! Thanks.

I've preordered Murdered: Soul Suspect back in time because i expected something similar to L.A. Noire. It's not great, but it's the only game on my memory which is close to L.A.Noire. Also i've heard that Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments is even closer to L.A. Noire, but never played it myself.

+1 it's not the same, I'd say that LA is definitely better

Well, the only game that came to my mind is Murdered: Soul Suspect. Not exactly the same kind of game but... seems to me that you may like it.
Comment has been collapsed.
People seem to praise story and complain about bad port, but it looks nice. Since I own it already, I might want to give it a try, thanks!
Comment has been collapsed.
It's the worst port I've ever seen, iirc the guy who did the dsfix for dark souls (1) did a dpfix for that game, but it doesn't matter is still totally broken. anyway the game is great
Comment has been collapsed.
You'll need dpfix and that doesn't gives you any proof it will work well. Expect random crashes and crazy menu buttons. The game is more similar to twin peaks than la noire!

It's a complete disaster if you are not logged in as an administrator on your pc. No idea why. With admin rights it works fine for me.

I hope you like food (not foot, food) fetish and storytelling where the plot makes zero sense.
On the other hand, if you like this game, try D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die. Also a detective game, even more food fetish, and even less sense.

At first Enforcer: Police Crime Action sounded a bit like that. You rise through the ranks as a cop and from what they mentioned some required some investigating, but going by reviews it didn't turn out good. I got it in a bundle but never got around to trying it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Since I own it already I might as well give it a try, although I feel this will be a bad one... :3. Thanks!

Obvious answer: Any Sherlock Holmes game + Agatha Christie game. :P

I thought about ABC Murders, although it seems more like adventure rather than detective. It has good reviews though, so I might give it a try. Thanks!
Comment has been collapsed.
It's agood game. Easy and short, but fun. The parts when you gather clues and then you make your speech are fun :P
Comment has been collapsed.
I found ABC murders repetitive and a bit boring. It could have similarities with LA Noire, but I wouldn't say they are "similar games". They use different mechanics. As you said, ABC is point and click. LA Noire gives you much more freedom.
Comment has been collapsed.
ABC Murders is extremely casual, but overall enjoyable. Don't waste your time on other Agatha Christie games, they are boring to say the least.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep, especially The Case of the Rose Tattoo. And then there were Laura Bow games, of course. I miss those chandeliers falling on your head every wrong step :) But seriously, well-written detectives are so rare nowadays.
Comment has been collapsed.
What you're asking almost doesn't exist. Even LA Noire has too many boring gun fights.
There are some detective-esque games here and there, but none in 3D or with the complexity of LA Noire. Arguably A Wolf Among Us is about a detective, but it's quite standart. Amazing story though, my fav game of 2015. There's also This is the Police and Virginia, which are a bit experimental (can't comment much because I haven't tried them).
I can absolutely recommend is the whole Ace Attorney saga. 50% of the game is investigation and it's one of the best adventure games ever created (though it's more like a VN). Maybe the latter ones (Miles Edgeworth Investigations) are more akin classic adventure games.
I heard that the "detective" sidequests of The Witcher 3 are really amazing.
If you want more traditional, go Gemini Rue, Kathy Rain, The Detail, etc. Old sherlock games are great, and ABC murders is really good too.
Comment has been collapsed.
I played This is the Police and despite of not-really-fitting-that-much into what I'm searching this time, the game was truly great and I could recommend it especially for people not much into puzzle-solving but actual gameplay with a very decent narrative story. Thanks for suggestions!

The Sherlock Holmes games could scratch that itch? They're not open world, though.

Fahrenheit on Steam, though old, it's good.
Heavy Rain on PS3 (barely started it) similar to Fahrenheit. And that's pretty much it.
Murdered: Soul Suspect it's not that good, expected something better when I watched the trailer for the first time.
Comment has been collapsed.
Fahrenheit was my first idea, but it's only the 30% of the game, specially the beginning... Then it becomes... well.
Murdeder: Soul Suspect... Hmmm... For me it's an adventure, you walk a lot but it's the typical adventure "go to A, find B, go to C, watch the video about your clues". Nevertheless, it's fun, the puzzles are easy and you don't need to gather all items and 100% to enjoy it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, the thing is that there aren't games like LA Noire, so if you accept anything to ease the hunger, you play the recommendations on the thread.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh yeah! In fact, the "bad part" of fahrenheit is not because isn't similar enough to LA noire, it's because... Well, because fhanreinheit itself. If you have played, you'll know it ._.
Comment has been collapsed.
I've finished it but it was almost 10 years ago, and remember some stuff but not that much. I do remember that middle part that you speak of (when it turns to Beyond: Two Souls). Have to play it again.
Comment has been collapsed.
check the steam version. It's exactly the same game with a couple of improvements (resolutions and a minimap in two parts you, actually, need something to see).
Comment has been collapsed.
Have it, currently on backlog. Haven't had time to play, or to be more accurate, the mood. I'm getting old.
Comment has been collapsed.
I was thinking Sleeping Doges but seems that you already played it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, besides - it's more like GTA clone than detective. Game was really great, but definitely not what I'm looking for this time. Thanks for suggestion though!

Forgot to add single-player as a requirement, thanks for suggestion though!

Maybe if Team Bondi were still making games they would've created something like that but for now I can't think of a similar game.
Murdered: Soul Suspect is extremely repetitive and it does not require that much of an effort to solve crimes.
The closest games that comes into my mind are Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy & Face Noire though they are incomparable with L.A Noire
Comment has been collapsed.
Only what's still missing:
Arkham series (you've probably already played it)
Heavy Rain (PS3)
Comment has been collapsed.
I would second the Arkham games even though they're not exactly on point. They have some really good detective moments though. I thought the Telltale Batman game was great in that respect too. Though to be fair I haven't actually played LA Nior so I could be off-kilter.
Heavy Rain was amazing
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, only few quests include the crime scene investigation, but it's something. Plus good story and open-world. Haven't played the Telltale one yet.
Comment has been collapsed.
Murdered: Soul Suspect is probably the closest you will get to L.A. Noire. Deadly Premonition has both open world and a detective but is such a different game and also a bad port. A Wolf Among Us and Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remastered are also both adventures were you play a detective.
Another game that was not mentioned yet is the remake for Gabriel Knight:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/262000/
The Detail is also a solid detective game with choices:

And another one is Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller:

I was going to recommend Murdered:Soul suspect as well.. so i'm leeching the comment with a +1.
Also.. bump.

played only original long time ago, thought they fixed mostly only graphics, will make me think about replaying
Comment has been collapsed.
Didn't the original use WASD controlls that are responsive to the way the character is facing like Monkey Island 4 ?
Comment has been collapsed.
I never knew that concept of fixed cameras and controlling your character context sensitive to the way it is facing has a name.
Guess you never stop learning.
My point was the controlls are far from ideal for a P&C game.
Edit: Guess I should rather say for an Adventure game since my whole point is that is was not Point & Click.
Comment has been collapsed.
It is called like that because you can rotate your character in one place to turn instead of moving wherever the pointer shows or relative to the player; even the over-the-shoulder third-person shooter Resident Evil 4 has the same tank controls, just a different camera. You are right that the entire fixed camera + tank control scheme has no actual name, although it is sometimes referred to as old Resident Evil or survival horror type (despite being used in some adventure games as well).

Actually I wasn't trying to make a point but while I was familiar with the concept I didn't know the name. I've never had a Playstation before the PS4 so I'm not very familiar with the Resident Evil games.
So if fixed cameras are not a mandatory part of Tank controlls what would be an example of a game with Tank controlls but without fixed cameras ?
Comment has been collapsed.
Resident Evil 4, the classic control scheme of RE5, Heavy Rain, Silent Hill 1-4, all Tomb Raiders before 2003-ish.
Comment has been collapsed.
You managed to name a list of games I haven't played a single one first hand :D (beside Tomb Raiders which you added later ^^)
I had a hard time wrapping my head around it and was wondering if Tank controlls are only a thing in 3rd person games until I found an article that confirms that almost all First Person Shooters indeed use Tank controlls. Somehow I never perceived those 2 as the same thing since the main problem of Tank controlls only arises when you have camera angles that are not identical with the way the character faces which is not the case in FPS and the classical over the shoulder TPS.
Edit: Funny thing is I also just found out that Tim Schafer has been defending the controlls in Grim Fandango (which are identical to Monkey Island 4) for 15 years so I'll just leave it at that :D

It can be disorienting, if you are not good in placing three-dimensional objects on a 2D plane and thinking in relative directions. Certain people types can have issues with that, usually those who may have problems navigating with a map and like to rely on landmarks instead.
Comment has been collapsed.
I would say any of the Tex Murphey games and Gabriel Knight games... they are older though.
Kathy Rain maybe? Although I havent played it, it looks similiar.
Adam Wolfe is a HOG but very unique and different-- you don't search for unrelated things and the puzzles are seamlessly part of the actual storyline.
Comment has been collapsed.
Tesla Effect is pretty new and doesn't require knowledge of older titles, and GK 1 has recently got a remake (I'm not a big fan, but maybe I'm just rigid), so why not? After all, writing of such quality is pretty rare.

Siema, sprawdź te tytuły, chyba że już któreś znasz: Still Life, Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Broken Sword, Gray Matter, The Samaritan Paradox.

Crusader Kings 2!
At least you won't find any game with more murder and plots. ;)
Can't really give similar recommendations. I played both Murdered: Soul Suspect and Deadly Premonition and both are more about supernatural powers than being a detective. By no means bad games, but just not "the same".

There is a game very similar to L.A noire actually, it's called The Gensokyo Bus Station
Comment has been collapsed.
the new sherlock holmes games look really enjoyable. crimes and punishments and the devils daughter.
Comment has been collapsed.
+1
Devil's Daughter has all kinds of different gameplay bits (puzzles, stealth/a chase/being chased, some QTEs, probably more stuff) and lots of choices that shape the story, at least within the cases. I haven't played that far yet, but there's a story in between the cases as well.

This sounds really applying to me, I might want to keep an eye on it, wishlist for now, thanks nelly!

Basically together with my friend we're looking for games similar to L.A. Noire. If you played that title, then you know what exactly we're looking for.
Thanks!
