Frustrating, but not without its charms
[2.5/5] Although it's more refined than The Awakened (2008), I found this adventure harder to enjoy. It uses the exact same engine and art assets as that game and feels very similar to it, but the story here goes in quite a different direction. Setting the entire game in London is quite fun as well as the recreations of the famous buildings. But this game is just incredibly hard. Having now played three of these games, I'm starting to see patterns in what makes them this way. I have to assume these games have been translated into English and important details are getting lost in the process. Throughout the game I was met with puzzles and clues that didn't make sense or didn't have proper context. Holmes will mention something that I haven't discovered, or will say too little as if I should know what comes next. After spending time trying to work out what was required, I would eventually check a hint and discover answers that were nothing like what I had expected. It always felt as if the game expected me to know more than I did. It's all very convoluted (inventory puzzles are especially awkward, as you rarely know when you're supposed to use items to move things along) and by the end I just wasn't having that much fun. But there are things I appreciated here. Once again, Holmes and Watson are enjoyable to spend time with and this game in particular did a good job in including some real humour that made me laugh.
