Not the best holmes game I've played, currently at Chapter IV at the time of this review. Not as many side cases to solve as there was in the previous Holmes game, there is only a single main story case in each of the locations I've been to and then I move on to the next chapter. I'm going to give it a 2 star it could have been something amazing.
I'm not that far into this game but so far it has been alot of fun, playing as Sherloc Holmes, gathering clues and peicing together the events of a crime and then deciding who did it. However I wish more cases were like the starting case, where you could interact with the witness, suspects, discuss your findings with them.
You won't find a better game that has comedy, romance, loyalty, betrayal, deception, politics and really hot sorceresses.
I enjoyed SF3 story at the beginning but it got disappointing towards the end. I enjoyed the combat system, character customization options and many other aspects. Unfortuantly Spellforce 3 suffers, which in my opinion are major issues. Major Issue#1 - Spellforce 3 doesn't have enough side quests. The only available side quests require you to speak with your companions and that can only be achieved when you have advanced enough of the main story line. There were not enough actual side quests along side the companion quests or main quests. Major Issue#2 - Spellforce 3 didn't cover all the races like previous spellforce titles, you are limited to only 3 races which aren't already on the quest area but instead must be chosen from the campanion screen. In previous titles the player is introduced to each and all 6 races at specific mile stones in the story. The issing races are Dwarf, Night elves and Trolls. There are trolls present in the Orc race but they aren't a race on their own like in spellforce. Major Issue#3 - When you reach a certain point in the story where you think there is going to be more and that the other races haven't been introduced to the player, the story just ends. It opens up to certain aspects present in spellforce like Runestones, Portals and the Circle, but it just ends with no epic cutscene of the last battle before and during the Grey keep assault. Nothing, it just ends with a conversation between your character and another and then thats it. Game finished. Congrats and thanks a lot. Major Issue#4 The story is way to short. I admit I was on and off from playing Spellforce 3 because of having to move, but I was sorely disappointed when I finished the game knowing I hadn't gotten my moneys worth. Also. The collector's edition showed a statue of Sentenza Noria which is seriously misleading because you don't play as him for long and he doesn't join your cause. Which makes me wonder why they chose him for the statue - cough *Doug Cockle*.
