Okay game, has nothing to do with Holmes
This is basically yet another hodge podge of puzzles loosely connected to one of my favorite Sherlock Holmes mysteries. It uses the voice over artists from the Frogwares Sherlock Holmes series, which was a nice touch, but it introduces hidden rooms, time travel and grants Holmes supernatural abilities, making it The Hound of the Baskervilles in name only. The creators just needed a spooky mansion to place the game in, and a possibly supernatural force for you to go up against. This new version of The Hound of the Baskervilles is subpar to the original, naturally, and also subpar to almost every adaptation of it. So to enjoy it, you need to completely forget about Holmes and focus on the puzzles. Which as a whole, aren't that bad. Some are too easy while some seem to rely on trial and error, but if you get stuck there are hints, and you can always skip a puzzle. The map also tells you which rooms still have items you need to collect, or puzzles you need to solve. So it never becomes too difficult. But it never rises above being yet another puzzle collection, mainly due to its over reliance on its hidden object segments, which are there to pad the game. I would have much preferred more unique puzzles, especially since I can't stand hidden object games, which I find extremely cheap.
