Not Terribly Good

I'm surprised by the positive comments on this game. I beat it and did pretty well, I don't think I "failed" any cases, but it's really not that fun. The only thing that kept me engaged is the Sherlock namesake. This game also gives us some quality of life improvements compared to games like LA Noire, but make no mistake -- LA Noire is a MUCH better game in terms of interest.

best one yet

Frogwares has outdone itself. Actual detective work requires the player to reach their own conclusions and deduce the final answer.
