Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis - Remastered

Contrived and awkward

Off the back of playing Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened - Remastered, I expected this to be a similarly enjoyable, if janky, mystery adventure. Sadly, it falls short in almost every way. The plot and the vast majority of the puzzles feel awkward and out of place, as if they were inserted as nothing more than staples to hold the paper-thin plot together. And they aren't even good puzzles! Most of them are either jigsaws or awfully contrived maths problems (solving equations in roman numerals, figuring out ratios of ingredients in a recipe, etc.) It's also frustratingly linear, stopping you from properly inspecting things or picking items up until you've done some other (entirely unrelated) action elsewhere. If you enjoy abstract puzzles then you might find some entertainment here, but if you're looking for a real mystery to be solved you're better off looking elsewhere.
