I played these games as they came out, and really enjoyed them. I still have to finish the last season, but if I never played these games before, this would be an excellent purchase. If you like story driven, point and click style adventure games, this is highly recommended.
As of October, 2019, this is best Sherlock Holmes game ever to be released. The combination of atmosphere, gameplay mechanics, and story is unmatched. After playing this game, you'll be miffed that they didn't offer DLC for it. Highly recommended!
For those out there who like to occasionally play fantasy adventure games, you'll really like this game. For basement nerds who obsess over little things the general population finds laughable and meaningless, you probably won't like this game.
Seems like there are two different types of gamers out there - Those who are rightly hard to impress because they expect every box to be checked, and there's the hardcore adventure gamers who can give 16 bit games 5 stars because not every technical box needs to be checked. For the adventure gamers out there hardcore or otherwise, who just want to experience a cool atmospheric adventure game in a cool futuristic setting, this game is great. I would recommend playing at least Dreamfall first before playing this game since this is a direct sequel. As an occasional adventure gamer, I think the game is fun.
