The Testament of Sherlock Holmes

Outstanding game

This game series from Frogwares has been close to the heart from the beginning and I must say that this one stands tallest so far. Review: This game is all about you being Sherlock Holmes, while occasionally playing as Watson too. It doesn't hold a single tale like the other games have so far as it makes you play multiple cases which are not connected to each other. These cases will make you feel like you're playing the Sherlock from the TV series as it is very episodic. All your judgements and choices will influence how the ending of each case goes, right or wrong. And that is the beauty of this game, it doesn't hold your hand as you are able to free roam the large areas and come to your own conclusions as well as moral choices. Pros: - freedom (all tho' there is always a right ending to each case you are able to come to your own conclusions and see how it changes the endings) - story (if you can call it that as there is really no main objective to the game other than being Holmes. But all the cases are well constructed story-wise and keep you hooked) - voice acting (IMO very good and stays true to the series) - Immersive puzzles (challenges are not made impossible and there is also an option to skip them) - not repetitive (game is divided to cases/episodes. Each "chapter" is different and holds a new fresh mystery) - graphics (very appealing to the eye) - runs well (might be demanding for lower end PCs, played on: gtx 780 3gb, intel i5 4690k 3.9ghz) Cons: - <minor issue> Controls/mouse movement (even when you turn off vsync the feeling of floating or smoothed mouse stays, not unbearable as I can already tell that some may not notice it at all) - <depends> Length (this game for me was a long one as I wanted to fine every clue, but if you are a pro problem solver there might not be enough content for you) Final verdict aka TL;DR: Play it, it's good and entertaning
