Are there any games that represents real detective work?

I'm currently playing L.A. Noire and I read that's the closest it gets. Is there any other realistic one? Maybe set in modern times?

that is the closest you'll get, the rest are horror based  adventure like Alan Wake's and  maybe the evil within

Unless we played very different versions, Alan Wake is nothing even remotely like a detective game? 

He's looking for his missing wife essentially, but there's zero detective work involved from a gameplay standpoint.

Disco Elysium is a detective CRPG, though it's fairly short.

This, although it's less focused around detective work and more an 8 hour technicolour introspection of someone suffering a psychotic break.

The old(90's) Sierra Police Quest series.  Old as hell, but fun police work.

 

Blues and Bullets is kind of detective'y

 

Beat Cop is interestingly fun.

 

 

But... too bad there wasn't another LA Noire.  You make a good point - we need a good detective series.

Thanks for every suggestion. I hope someone will make other games like that, since I haven't found anything that Rockstar would consider making another one.

Good thought.  Depends on the game I suppose.  Tales from the Borderlands is way different then The Wolf Among Us and such.  The Wolf was a bit detective'y

There's always Dick Tracy on NES if you like a bit of "healthy" challenge to go with the detective work. :yee:
