Mata Hari
A 2009 spy thriller where you play both sides of warring factions, though the execution struggles to match the premise.
GamerScout Verdict
For patient point-and-click fans who can forgive sluggish pacing in exchange for spy-fi atmosphere.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Mata Hari
I went into Mata Hari expecting a slick espionage romp, but what I found was a point-and-click adventure that bites off more ambition than it can chew. The core hook is solid: you're a double agent manipulating factions against each other across increasingly tense missions. Problem is, the dialogue-heavy story unfolds at a crawl, and the adventure mechanics feel dated even by 2009 standards. Puzzle logic can be obtuse, and pacing grinds to a halt between plot beats. It's not broken, just uninspired. Metacritic sits at 63, and that feels about right for a game with decent spy-fi bones but flabby execution. If you're desperate for early-2000s point-and-click espionage fiction and patient enough to push through clunky interfaces, you might squeeze something out of it. Otherwise, better options exist.
