    Detective work works, but needless action elements make this worst Sherlock so far. [Aug 2016]

    Definitely not a bad game. It’s just that it takes a potentially dangerous route, far away from the franchise’s roots, trying to appeal to a wider audience. Inevitably it’s flirting with the more mainstream category, which may lead it to be lost in the pile of that overloaded market and at the same time disappoint the loyal fans of Sherlock Holmes games.

    Sherlock Holmes: The Devil’s Daughter is another solid entry into this long-running franchise.

    Full of intrigue, action and excitement, The Devil's Daughter is an immensely fun game. But, this isn’t really a puzzle game, even if you're playing as the most famous detective in the world. There might not be huge challenges to overcome, but it's still a very satisfying journey for every Sherlock Holmes fan.

    Shelock Holmes : The Devil's Daughter is a nice step to evolve the IP into something more substantial. Conservative enough to satisfy the fans, and new enough to draw in young players.

    I really loved the series before and I have/played all of them. My main problem is that Devil's Daughter is not an adventure game any more,I really loved the series before and I have/played all of them. My main problem is that Devil's Daughter is not an adventure game any more, but a QTE abusing, console sh*t. And of the said genre there are a myriad out there that are a lot better... Frogware was making Sherlock adventure games before and built up a solid fan base in like a decade. Now they have new money men on their neck who want profit and for that you have to make simple (stupid) games, a five year old can enjoy. There you have it. No thinking involved here, just button smashing. Instead of quick money they should have stayed on their paved way, because this way they loose the old fans and won't get any new ones. This is a sad end for a great series.
    BTW the game wasn't released steam yet, still it had already 10+ positive votes and 1 "review" of a user with 1 review in all and copy paste text. Makes you think about the new Frogware style of game marketing.    … Full Review »

    i just hope that denuvo cost them more money than they will profit from pc version, because this game is garbage, thanks Gaben for steami just hope that denuvo cost them more money than they will profit from pc version, because this game is garbage, thanks Gaben for steam refund system. This is not adventure game, at least not good one. It is worse than its predecessor with more QTE. I hate two things in games - "cinematic experience" and QTE, this game delivers both.… Full Review »
