Conclusion

To conclude this test, we will share with you a negative point that we have observed: during his game, the player may encounter bugs. This is seen in particular in 2014, when he has to remotely guide a car, using the directional keys on the keyboard. The car gets stuck when it has to climb on a small obstacle and suddenly refuses to obey the commands.

However, for all fans of Les Débrouillards comics, this game will allow your children to develop various skills, in a fun way, in addition to offering them a quality moment, in your company.
