    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think it's not an adventure game, but an mind one, you gotta have good deduction skills, such as Sherlock.
    The best part of the game: The human hunt.
    The worst: The stealth part in Infamy (Really hate this part)
    The game doesn't follow the original story series, but it makes it to have a world for itself, with charismatic characters and involving narrative and dialogues, the deduction and evidences part are very well-programmed.
    Just didn't like that when you finish you don't have anything else to do.    … Expand

    Kind of a mixed bag because main story is very good but other investigations are kind of average, overly long, too much puzzles (thankfully all of them can be skipped just in case something annoys you too much), not as interesting as Crimes and Punishments.

Graphically there is no upgrade from previous,maybe even a downgrade, performance is also unstable at times. But there are some interesting changes in mechanics, more action, some dialogues where you need to reply fast or actions where you need to react quickly, it wasn't really there in previous parts. New look for Holmes and Watson is okay too, I was very skeptical about it but they made it very well. Overall I had a good time but game is quite average at the beginning and gets better with time, certainly not the best way to develop a game, bad start can easily to discourage from playing. I would give it an 8 but it takes too much time for the game to enter the proper level, almost the entire fist half of the game is kind of lackluster. Also giving it an 8 would put it on the same level as The Testament and Crimes and Punishments and I enjoyed them more. Impressive ending parts are not enough to make up the score for entire game.… Expand

    Un'occasione davvero sprecata.
    Il gioco è piacevole, ma sbaglia enormemente nel voler imitare alcune meccaniche dei giochi AAA senza avere il comparto tecnico necessario.
    Comunque ora cercherò di analizzare e votare separatamente ogni aspetto del gioco.

    Dal punto di vista audio e grafico il gioco a prima vista sembra molto interessante. Ottimi modelli 3D, ottime luci e riflessi, buona colonna sonora e rumore ambientale. Il problema più grande in questa categoria riguarda le animazioni, imprecise, legnose e lente (a volte si nota anche il punto in cui l'animazione ricomincia). Inoltre quando il lavoro di animazione sarebbe troppo complicato hanno preferito rimuovere completamente l'animazione, facendo muovere gli oggetti per aria o adottando altre soluzioni (di cui parlerò più avanti).
    Capisco i limiti di budget e i limiti tecnici, ma allora si cerca di rimanere all'interno dei limiti di quello che si può fare bene.
    Interessante invece il fatto che Sherlock Holmes possa cambiare vestito, acconciatura e accessori a piacimento per no farsi riconoscere o essere adatto a determinate situazioni.

    Per quanto riguarda la storia invece va detto che il gioco risulta diviso in capitoli, ognuno con un caso da risolvere, a cui si aggiungono alcune storie trasversali e più lunghe. Il fatto che gli episodi siano separati (ognuno dura circa 5 ore) permette di completare il titolo con i tempi che si desiderano, senza l'ansia di lisciarlo a metà e non saperlo più continuare dopo un po' di tempo (salvo le storie trasversali che però si possono "ripassare" leggendo le note accumulate nel tempo).
    In ogni caso le storie sono davvero belle, originali e profonde.

    Infine voglio trattare del gameplay, l'aspetto che più mi confonde di questo titolo e che mi fa dispiacere per l'occasione persa.
    Il gioco vuole copiare molte meccaniche da Assassin's Creed (soprattutto Unity e Syndicate, dove sono presenti missioni simili ai casi di questo gioco). Sono infatti presenti missioni di pedinamento con anche alcune parti sui tetti, è presente una copia dell'Occhio dell'Aquila e molti altri piccoli elementi fanno pensare al titolo di casa Ubisoft.
    Il problema però sta nel fatto che copiare un gioco come Assassin's Creed senza avere un comparto tecnico adeguato è una follia.

    Nel gioco sono presenti numerosi e bruttissimi mini giochi di poca utilità e molto bambineschi, realizzati inoltre in maniera imbarazzante. Questi sono uno stratagemma per evitare di realizzare complicate animazioni per il protagonista (spesso questi giochi sono in prima persona o la visuale risulta ferma). Non mi era mai capitato di notare una cosa del genere in un gioco.

    Il gameplay però possiede anche numerosi aspetti interessanti, ed è questo che mi fa dispiacere per questo gioco.
    I dialoghi sono fatti molto bene e a volte si può interagire ribattendo in base agli indizi che sono stati scoperti in precedenza.
    Carina ma non eccezionale la possibilità di analizzare i personaggi prima di parlargli.
    Una cosa che ho trovato invece davvero bella è la creazione delle ipotesi. È presente una schermata, accessibile anche durante i caricamenti mentre si è in carrozza, in cui ci sono tutti gli indizi raccolti. Questi si possono unire a coppie per generare considerazioni e a volte si possono fare anche ipotesi differenti che poi unite ad altre informazioni generano accuse differenti. Un metodo davvero carino e azzeccato.

    È un gioco con molte meccaniche e molti elementi quindi non ho analizzato proprio tutto, però spero che questo basti.

    P.S.: Dopo aver giocato a questo titolo ho provato il gioco precedente (crimes and punishment) e l'ho trovato esattamente uguale, solo con un motore grafico precedente. La cosa mi ha deluso parecchio perchè si sono limitati solo a potenziare l'aspetto grafico e ad ampliare i livelli di gioco (anche i menù sono praticamente invariati), il che mi porta ad abbassare da 3.5 a 3 stelle il voto per questo gioco.

    It is very good. Not the miracle, but I like the idea of deducing work in the end of each case. Guys really put a lot to make you feel a real detective.

    Complete downgrade of a storytelling comparing to the previous game. Some fantasy and steampunk trash was added making the story nothing but a buffoonery.
    Graphics are much better but what's the price? Even a "top-mid" GPU such as RX850 can't handle it.
    Some riddles better suit some Tomb Raider than a detective game

    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.

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.    … Expand

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.

    The game is interesting, the part '' research '' is good, the story can involve you, and it's good for fans of Sherlock legend, but has well exceeded charts despite an interesting setting, the game's minigames are horrible, boring and strangers, a game that you do not need to play, but you can if you want.

    But the main problem is, that it's not a Sherlock Holmes game. It's a game about a cool action hero who also happens to be a detective in 19th century London. The character in the books or the great movies is a lot different than the protagonist of this game.    … Expand

    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 *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

    Absolute rubbish if I may say so. Holmes and Watson look like hipsters. They talk like fa*s and their **** all reta**ed. What an abomination. The queen herself should banish this game for mocking Sir A. Conan Doyle's memory and legacy.

Sherlock doesn't always ask all the questions that should logically be asked when interrogating suspects. Some clues are way too "in your face" especially letters that should feel naturally written by characters in the game world, but instead obviously look like text left there by the developers for the sole purpose of pointing out a fact.

    The character portrayals are kinda bad, the voice acting is very wooden and the characters themselves are bland and uninteresting. Also the whole daughter plot feels completely unnecessary. I found myself not caring at all about it and annoyed when I found out it's actually the main plot overarching through all cases and even more when it lead into a witch hunting "dramatic" hollywood ending, which felt very unsherlocky.

    Technically the optimization isn't bad, but the draw distance is terrible. Textures popping-up everywhere you turn.

    It's more like a collection of Sherlock-themed mini-games with a AAA-range price tag, rather than a seamless experience.

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