As Sherlock, your legacy is written by the decisions you make in this open world detective adventure. Deception, violence, and deduction are just a few resources in your arsenal—your mysterious companion and sounding board, Jon, is another.
Whether you choose brute force to solve problems or stay one step ahead of your enemies by using your wits to spot vulnerabilities, you decide what each situation demands as you hone your investigative skills. It’s time to confront your past so you can become the legend you’re destined to be.
KEY PILLARS
The Man Before: As a cavalier young Sherlock on the precipice of adulthood, you’ll earn your reputation in a way no game or story has explored before. We’ve never seen the youthful arrogance and naiveté of the man before the legend—now you’re living it.
Global Investigation: You never know where your next clue will come from. Explore and exploit the entire city in your pursuit of truth, using clues, rumors, disguises, tags, and pinned evidence to build a solid case within your mind palace.
And Stay Down: Weapons might help you in a pinch, but there’s something to be said for style—and you have it in spades. Spot enemy vulnerabilities with your brilliant observation skills, or exploit the environment to take someone down while keeping your own hands clean.
A Different Jon: Before John Watson, there was a different Jon - your best and only friend. But who is he, really?
A Darkening Tide: Set in the 19th century, the vibrant island in the Mediterranean promises anything but paradise. Political corruption and crime run rampant while the islanders cling to tradition and eschew outsiders, making your job even more difficult.
Truth and Lies: There are two sides to every story, and the proud islanders have their own ideas about truth and justice. It’s up to you to decide whether uncovering the truth will do more harm than good—and how that will shape the man you’ll become.
I did enjoy this game. The running around part could be glitchy and it was difficult to get used to the requirements to have a specific clue pinned before you could advance or even interact with anything.
When the first DLC came out, I was disappointed to see the publisher prostrated themselves to the lunatics of the world and added a disclaimer stating that people throughout the entire history of the world were all wrong and evil and current "wokeism" is the only acceptable thought.
The best of the series.
Interesting cases and characters within a beautiful open world to explore.
I loved the feelings that were invoked by playing on a beautiful med Island at the end of the 18th century.
Some things can be improved on. I would have liked to have had a "correct" ending to the elephant case and the combat was a bit silly.
Combat got easier after some practice though and didn't take away from the game.
I hope they make a chapter 2 soon.
Unfortunately could not go through "The police training part" as I was playing on my PC and it is very difficult to use the PC keys for arresting and fight
Speaking German as a mother-tongue myself, I was shocked to learn that people from Germany actually rate this game 1-star because it's missing German speech. "How narrow-minded of you", Verner Vogel would say.
I still remember times when games were only available in English, there were only few German ones. Kids these days must be super spoiled with games in their native tongue, no matter what the language. Lean English and appreciate how the dialogs were meant from the writers! So many masterpieces are actually worse with the wrong translations, when it will lose it's meaning. Also, was there a German Sherlock Holmes? I don't think so. So much gets lost in translation, which doesn't stop with videogames but also is true for movies.
For all the German people giving this and other games a 1 star rating because it's only in english: start learning English! Come on man, it's the year 2021. English is an universal language. I'm not complaining because this game it isn't in dutch. Live with it!
