Sherlock Holmes and The Hound of The Baskervilles

Nice brain candy for a few hours

It's a hidden object game with some (mostly rather easy) puzzles, loosely based on the novel by the same name. And for that, it's good. It's not a high quality, tripple A, live changing gaming expirience, obviously not. But I got it for 90 cents in a sale and had a good time for a bit more than 2 hours. Totaly worth it. The voice acting is a bit stiff for some lines, and the animations aren't the best (the lip animation in the intro gave me such a laugh flash that's it already worth the money xD) and the graphics are what you would expect from a early 2010s game. But I had no problems getting along, no bugs, no moon logic, the next step was always good to figure out. As other reviews already pointed out, there is no tedious backtracking, the map shows you where you need to finish something, you even get to choose if you want to jump directly to a puzzle if you just found the last piece for it. Story wise it's inspired by the novel, not an adaptation. And honestly, I have seen worse verisons that clamed to be adaptations of the book, and for the the beginning of the intro it feels like someone from the dev team has at least skimmed the first chapter of the novel and someone on the team has at least some understanding of the characters as they appeared in the original stores.
