An enjoyable sherlock holmes game

An enjoyable game with some intriguing mysteries and puzzles, however, at times it can be predictable.

Great Game So Far.

In honesty I have only completed one chapter so far, but I have played for about an hour and some change. But I can say captivating story and has a lot of twists and turns to lead you in a different direction completely up to you on how you solve and the conclusion. I can't wait to complete another Sherlock Holmes title, defintlely has its hooks in me.

The format is wonderful

I'm currently playing through all the games created by Frogwares, and this one is my favorite. The chapter format allows for a richer story and a more immersive experience. Unlike their earlier titles, which were long games with no sense of progress or incentive to keep going, this one is fantastic. All six cases are brilliant, offering numerous deduction options, clues, and ways to solve each one. A GREAT GAME!

Very enjoyable, but awful WASD-control

I enjoyed this game very much but in the beginning I nearly returned it because the WASD control system is simply awful. I don't know why this system is so popular, it makes moving character tedious and slows everything down. It was as if the developer saw they made a really great game and then wanted to find a way to make it less enjoyable. I heaved a tortured sigh every time I had to move Holmes (or someone else) around. However, in spite of absolutely hating the controls throughout the whole game, most of the rest was great. The artwork is absolutely marvellous! Beautiful scenes with amazing details. It was a pleasure just watching them and I took my time doing that. Gorgeous, just gorgeous. Character movements were a bit clunky that was the only thing that took away from the great artwork a bit, but it's an old game so that of course plays a role. Unfortunately this detail made loading times atrociously long. Voice acting was just as wonderful. Truly enjoyable, great feeling for the different pronunciations of the social classes, local dialects, moods, everything. Top notch. The cases: usually really good stories, I enjoyed them. I also liked the fact that there were several shorter cases. There were two I found tedious, one case is solved by running around an underground temple with a labyrinth and it's just incredibly tedious. The last case was also a bit too focused on "go there, get that, put that there, go here" instead of deductions and finding clues so I actually didn't finish that one. As for deductions - there is a deduction system where you have to combine clues. In the beginning it took some getting used to but once I got the hang of it (mostly) it was fun and a great way to move the story forward. There are many other ways to find things out - such as a character analysis and research. Great variations and usually fun to do. Another minus: no manual save system. In general: enjoyable, interesting cases and solving methods.
