    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. 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 neckI really loved the series before and I have/played all of them.

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

    i 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.

    The Game is nad. I really like tbe series in general, but this was a huge disapointment.
    The story is boring which is pretty harsh from a Sherlock Holmes game. The gameplay is linear as a tube, and it has has a lot of "mini-game" mechanics that does not help the experience, but takes out from the game, and makes you cringe. The graphics are not bad, although they could've been better. The    The Game is nad. I really like tbe series in general, but this was a huge disapointment.

The graphics are not bad, although they could've been better. The cinematography of the game is really ugly, with bad cuts, and weird camera movements.
    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

    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.

    Besides that this game is exact replica of Crimes & Punishments in graphics, mechanics and puzzles departments.

    Отсутствуют автоматические сохранения игры. Это просто пздц какой-то! За такие фокусы разрабам необходимо рубить руки.

    While the uneven Devil’s Daughter doesn’t reach the heights of previous games in the series, there is enough here to warrant a playthrough and fans can safely add this to their expanding collection of the super sleuth’s adventures.

    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]
