   As someone who 1) has not played any prior Sherlock Holmes games, and 2) has not read any of the books (I know, I'm sorry), I *thoroughlyAs someone who 1) has not played any prior Sherlock Holmes games, and 2) has not read any of the books (I know, I'm sorry), I *thoroughly enjoyed* this game and give it a hearty recommendation!
   
   Pros:
   - Loved the characters! Holmes, Watson, and all the suspects and supporting characters do an excellent job of making the world feel alive and believable. I assume Holmes is different in the books, but since I haven't had the pleasure of reading them, I didn't mind Holmes' acting or emotions. It made him feel quite relatable. In fact, I would have found an emotionless, mechanical Sherlock Holmes rather perturbing (for example, I can't stand Benedict Cumberbatch's BBC Sherlock--but again, that's just me).
   - You really feel like a detective! The game mechanics are really good and I love that you get to observe each character and make split-second decisions/inferences about them that can either be right or wrong and that these deductions can correctly or incorrectly inform your subsequent judgements. The "Deductions Space" is also really cool. This is where your gathered mental notes can be connected to each other to form potential judgements. The different branching choices with the clue combinations is impressive.
   - You can switch between 3rd and 1st person views. This might sound minor, but is greatly appreciated when you're trying to read signs or details in a room.
   - The game can be played in bite sized chunks and the game saves after most interactions so there's little to no backtracking.
   
   Cons:
   - Mini-games offer a nice variety and break from the normal game, but do feel inconsistent in quality, especially compared to the main game. Some mini-games are delightful and others border on slightly tedious.
   - The ending is rather abrupt and doesn't tie whole game together as one might anticipate. The game seems to hint that your "Moral Decisions" for each case will have an effect on the later part of the game, but it fails to deliver in any meaningful way. I wish the cases were somehow tied together on a grander scale.
   - The game is on the shorter side, but personally I like games this length since they actually hold my attention long enough to finish them.
   - On my machine there was massive stuttering when I first load a new area. It would disappear after a few seconds. Annoying, but not a deal-breaker.
   
   All that said, I can't wait to now go play the other Sherlock games, especially Crimes & Punishments!… Expand

   This is the first Sherlock Holmes game I've played through significantly and I was happily rewarded. The game is full of some mini games someThis is the first Sherlock Holmes game I've played through significantly and I was happily rewarded. The game is full of some mini games some may not be fond of but everything is skipable (at least on normal mode). I played on normal mode as I was looking for just a relaxing game where I could just sit back and think.
   
   There are 5 chapters in the game and each their own case. You must solve some puzzles and piece together clues to make a deduction. There are two or more suspects and you must select who is at fault and their fate at the end of each case. This can be challenging and really has you have to think of all the events and make a conclusion.
   
   You can tell this game was made with care and while not a AAA title it does its best and I think the outcome is a game anyone wanting to solve mysteries and crimes would enjoy. The first case has a bit too many mini games (one that is "dog" gone ridiculous) but I suggest anyone turned off at least try the second case. My favorite by far was the last two cases.… Expand

   My first Sherlock Holmes game and even my first detective-based game. It's a good adventure crime game with involving narrative and dialogues,My first Sherlock Holmes game and even my first detective-based game. It's a good adventure crime game with involving narrative and dialogues, the deduction and evidences part are very well-programmed and there are some hard puzzles which give you the feeling of being a real detective. Graphics and Environment design are so cool. I can't say same for mechanism of the game.
   The game features five separate cases in semi-open world map. Each case has its own good plot but The Temple mission in one of cases was totally nonsense.
   And also I expected two different endings for the game but however it was so linear that it forces you to make right decisions!
   As far as I know it's only Frogwares that makes these kind of games and it's really good. However there were few problems with the game.
   But it's worth playing at least for once.… Expand
