    Even better than Frogwares’ previous attempts at creating an accurate representation of the character and sleuthing of Sherlock Holmes, therefore elevating it to being the best videogame adaptation of the character and story thus far.

    The investigations themselves are great examples of story-telling.

    The best game of the series of Sherlock Holmes with unexpected twists and an exciting plot. The game defines perfectly the personality of Holmes. An adventure full of exploration, puzzles and some touches of action.

    All the same, the fact remains that sleuthing about Victorian London has never been as entertaining as this.

    The episodic concept worked well already in Crimes & Punishments and serves its purpose here as well. Even with the low difficulty level spending the time with the sleuth was worthwhile.

    Sherlock Holmes-The Devil’s Daughter is born from below, affected by a quite limited financial investment, which can be seen through its weak technical part. Yet, it has tried to remedy to this lack by offering an excellent gaming variety, with a less linear and more compelling progress. It is a small but necessary step forward for this franchise.

    The Devil's Daughter is one of the best adventures of Sherlock so far. It's very well design, fun and enjoyable, and one of the most diverse in the series.

    Sherlock Holmes: The Devil’s Daughter is a great graphic adventure that features some mystery elements. This combination achieves its purpose and gives us an amazing game.

    The Devil’s Daughter pushes deeper the boundaries of crime investigations, however it’s not supported by an appropriate main narrative context. The low quality of action sequences also creates some problems like poor interactions and overblown loading times.

While yes, it's pretty much more of the same and does very little to innovate the series (the game basically plays exactly the same as Crimes and Punishments) but if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The cases are thrilling with twists and that fit perfectly with previous Holmes stories. The overarching story is an intriguing mystery with a painfully obvious twist (anyone even vaguely familiar with Doyle's stories or the various adaptations will see it coming from miles away) but it's well written enough to be engaging and at times, emotional and touching. This is Frogwares best version of Holmes yet with the player being able to define his personality (making Holmes either incapable of empathy or someone who has sympathy for those who turn to crime) and of course the moral choices at the end of each case (who is the culprit? And do you absolve them or condemn them?). Several gripes come from an overuse of puzzles (especially in an Mayan temple segment) and an almost criminal under use of Holmes' faithful ally Dr Watson who doesn't get very much to do here. Despite this, the game is pretty fun, challenging and a must play for many Holmes fanatics.… Full Review »

Not the best, but unlike Crimes and Punishments every case was original! I loved it and I really liked that they tried to put some action scenes in it! I've played every SH game from Forgwares and this is surely one of the best (vs Arsene Lupin and the silver earring are my top.)… Full Review »
