L.A. Noire. Also, you play as a Detective in Judgment and Lost Judgment. Given that they're spinoffs of the Yakuza series, the games are more focused on combat than sleuthing, but the main narratives are pretty good and you can take on additional cases as side quests.

It kind of depends on what you consider to be "detective/mystery games". Like, what's the most important aspect of the genre for you?

Because there's stuff like the old CSI games, where you have to explore, look for clues, interview suspects and witnesses, and form connections between various pieces of evidence to build a case.

But there's also stuff like Still Life, which is a point-and-click adventure game, where you're basically experiencing a mystery story, but you're not solving the mystery as much as you're just solving puzzles that unlock the next part of the story.

And there's plenty of visual novels that have elements of a mystery story in them, where you might be able to make dialogue choices that influence the story, but which have minimal gameplay at best.

There's a fair number of fun games for all of those types of games. Plus others.
