The complete edition includes all the previous DLCs, focusing on more complex cases with dark storytelling elements. It is an interactive game, requiring the player to make significant decisions affecting the story's outcome while challenging deductive reasoning and detective work with strategic features. The high-quality graphics and more sophisticated facial expressions bring depth to every character's personality, extending the authentic noir style of the early 1950s. The open-world format is designed in dark and moody scenes, reflecting the specific genre's essence. The game players will frequently face the need to make moral decisions and endure emotional conflicts that distract the detective's life. Furthermore, modern technical features, such as variable frame rates and custom FOV, facilitate access and enhance the overall performance in the updated system.

The L.A. Noire: VR Case Files takes you back to 1940s Los Angeles through simulation of unrivaled virtual reality. Seven cases from the original game are revived to provide players with an opportunity to fully experience being a detective in VR. It can be noted that VR provides a unique opportunity to interact with clues and the environment like no other V.R. games. Additionally, two exclusive events - Boxing Event and Racing Event - ensures every player enjoys the case files. Although the cases may connect was a bit blurry, it was a novel concept for integrating detective work with virtual reality. This scenario is an excellent way for a player who is always a fan and a new participant to play detective.

Finally, the L.A. Noire: Case Files include a series of cases intricately connected to the base game, such as cases Reefer Madness and The Naked City Cases. The added series of cases merges well with the primary plot, pushing the players to test their detective skills further on other themes. For instance, cases A Slip of the Tongue and Nicholson Electroplating provide puzzles and more moral dilemmas around drug abuse and industrial espionage. The Case Files is an excellent add-on for anyone willing to learn more about the L.A. Noire universe and is hungry for new detective cases.
