Amazing and respectful Holmes adventure
Solid 8/10 for me. Characters are for the most part well modeled and voiced. Sherlock Holmes' & Dr. John Watson's personalities are held very close to the original material by Sir Doyle. Ripperologists will find in delight, that the locations and murder cases contain a very high amount of detail - some of the locations were recreated exactly as they were. The Whitechapel area was a bit consolidated to be a bit more compact for gaming purposes as no one would enjoy backtracking through a third of London. I personally also like the fact that the victims' cases were treated with respect. Regarding gameplay, this is essentially a point and click adventure but it may come as a surprise that it can be entirely enjoyed in first person perspective as well. More often than not, the player will be tasked with some "fetch quests" before being able to proceed with the story. Many puzzles have to be solved, and fortunately, none were repeated within this game. But be warned that some puzzles may be entirely void of logic and require trial and error (or a look in a walkthrough) to be solved. Due to this, I deduct one point out of ten. From the technical point of view, the game will run out of the box, but the graphic settings might not. I had to install an older version of the d3d9.dll that can be found on the Nexus (google "d3d9 fix for Fallout"). Also, saving the game did not work in three out of four cases - I set the compatibility mode for this game's exe file to "win xp". In addition, I had to install a patch that made this game's exe large address aware (google "techpowerup large address aware" for an easy to use executable). Unfortunately, this doesn't solve the slight but noticable performance problems. I deduct one point out of ten due to the technical issues.
