Overall, The Big Hollow 1982 is a well-crafted detective game that won't be everyone's cup of tea. However, if you enjoy following clues and connecting the dots, it's sure to keep you captivated for several hours.

The Big Hollow: 1982 is a good detective game that gets just a little too repetitive and fails to innovate in any important way.
