Ok, first things first. If you're looking for a classic Sherlock Holmes related game then Crimes and Punishment is the one to go for. It's authentic, voice acting top notch and it's what you will be expecting. The Jack The Ripper game is also very good. After this Frogware just seems to degrade into insanity. Along comes Chapter One. This game is literally unplayable for me despite me having the Lambourgini of laptops, a 14" Razer Blade Laptop consisting of: The latest AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS processor NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GPU with 8GB GDDR6 VRAM 16 GB on-board RAM Direct X 12 This laptop breezes through with games like The Witcher 3, Dishonoured 2 and the like. Sherlock Holmes Chapter One ran and then after 30mins or so crashed out and repeated attempts to play resulted in more crashes. Something is clearly wrong with the game imho. Searching the net suggested I pull the high screen resolution down a few notches. I was running at 2560 x 1600 as per my high spec Lambo machine. I dropped it down a few notches in the games own options menus and the game then stuttered, took ages to get through the opening menus and couldn't be played. Went to my desktop to restore the screen resolution only to find that option was now greyed out !! What the heck! So by altering the screen resoltuion in this game's options menu I can no longer change the screen res of my laptop in the native Windows controls. Unbelievable! I've had to do a system restore to the point before I installed the game to get things back to normal. What I did get to play of the game was just awful. It's a real mess. The character is nothing like Sherlock Holmes, his clothing is just farcical and Watson is a complete mess constantly referring to Holmes as Sherry. There's nothing of the Conan Doyle books here imho. It's a travesty. Greatly disappointed as I was loving the Crime and Punishments game and really just wanted more of that. This one is to be avoided imo.
