    It's good for what it is . Quests are a lot of fun. Though technical issues and some gameplay mechanics are outdated or plain ineffective.

    Honestly with the latest entry in the Sherlock Holmes series, Frogwares have attempted to create a new take on the character, one that isn’t as lacking as the original that was shown in the games prior, yet one who seems like he’s already mastered all what is needed, still with the games new fresh approach in variety and options, and it’s expansion to existing gameplay mechanics andHonestly with the latest entry in the Sherlock Holmes series, Frogwares have attempted to create a new take on the character, one that isn’t as lacking as the original that was shown in the games prior, yet one who seems like he’s already mastered all what is needed, still with the games new fresh approach in variety and options, and it’s expansion to existing gameplay mechanics and features, the game is able to succeed on becoming the best Sherlock Holmes game that Frogwares has come to made yet, and hopefully if the title preforms well, we’ll be able to receive another entry similar to the current title.… Expand

    Great game! Чудова гра, стала набагато насиченіша порівняно з «Донькою диявола» та «Злочин і покарання».
    Don’t regret to buy! Price is awesome for that kind of games!

    This is the best one game about Sherlock Holmes yet, it contains all the best parts from previous Frogwares games and tells a story about psychically unstable young man

    A great game and surprise of the year. What comes to revitalize the character and remind us why he is so emblematic.

    It’s a solid detective story, but gameplay-wise, Frogwares made a mistake by using its previous game, The Sinking City, as a basis for Sherlock Holmes.

    If you are a fan of mystery, intrigue and adventure, you are going to have one hell of a time playing Sherlock Holmes Chapter One. With a beautiful setting, amazing character interactions and great puzzles, this is one of the best ‘’detective simulations’’ out there.

    While Chapter One can be a little too cumbersome and lacking in logic at times, young Sherlock’s investigation into the many mysteries on Cordona Island provides more than ample breadth and depth for any armchair detective.
