Ok, not as good as Crimes & Punishments
Frogwares tried something different, but in putting all the effort into an open world it meant the core gameplay suffered. The core missions are reasonable, with similar gameplay to Crimes&Punishments. Some of the plotlines are quite good. I found the observation deductions were a bit tricky because some of the relevant info you need to make a deduction isn't revealed until later in the conversation. Likewise in several of the cases the evidence is 50/50 and could go both ways, so it comes down to luck rather than good deduction. (You can tell if you got it right by the amount of money you earn from cases - the game won't tell you). The game does give you icons next to each bit of evidence to indicate next steps. I think it would be unplayable without these. There are several new mechanics that were not so good. The 'eavesdropping' ended up almost always as guessing and brute-forcing the solution. Questioning the public was ok (use Concentration to check how they will react to you) but didn't really add anything - you just walk around until you find a friendly person. The addition of combat was not required. In the game you have the option to skip it, which is good. The sidekick 'Jon' was mostly annoying. The game has 'Jon's diary' but I never saw the point in this as it mostly fills up with repeated reactions to whether Sherlock gets the right answer first time in the archives or when questioning people. There are a lot of side quests, but they don't engage all the mechanics, ad some are pretty lame. I would have liked less open world and more fully developed cases with all the mechanics (eg mind palace) rather than a 'case' just being walking through an area with a lot of clicking. I liked the addition of maths puzzles (the chemical analysis sections) but even when on hard mode they were still really easy. I also found the ending a bit lame, especially compared to Crimes and Punishments.
