    A very strange reimagening that takes away the charm of Doyle's original characters while failing to add any reason to like these new generic hero versions of the iconic cast. If you create a Sherlock Holmes game you can probably expect to mostly generate interest people from who are previous fans of the Sherlock holmes. It makes little sence to move so completely away from the feel of theA very strange reimagening that takes away the charm of Doyle's original characters while failing to add any reason to like these new generic hero versions of the iconic cast. If you create a Sherlock Holmes game you can probably expect to mostly generate interest people from who are previous fans of the Sherlock holmes. It makes little sence to move so completely away from the feel of the original protagonists. You can reimagine the setting (as in House, MD or Cumberbatch's modern day Sherlock) or stay true (like the Jeremy Bratt stories) bur if you lose the essence of Holmes and Watson you are also likely to lose the appeal. It certainly holds none to me.… Expand

    There are no mysteries in this game. You take wild stabs at what you think the ending might be and maybe you'll randomly get the one "right" answer (even though you were given no narrative hints).

    If you have anxiety about getting things wrong in games like this, be prepared to use a walkthrough -- unlike LA Noire and a million other games that capture whodunnit gameplay correctly, this one is complete trash.

    I didn't get this title to play low-rent versions of ten other games (looking at you, horrible Uncharted-ripoff "temple" sequence.) I wanted to be the world's greatest detective.

    Based on this piece of trash I won't play another Holmes game from this developer. Between the horrible gameplay decisions and the bugs it's a complete dishonor to a prestige franchise.    … Expand

    I have been playing the Sherlock Holmes games since the Jack the Ripper game and this game has ruined the franchise for me. I hate what they have done to the look of the character and the changes that make this game an Assassin's Creed rip off. They had a really nice thing going that fans enjoyed and they just had to get greedy and try to make something that would appeal to everybody andI have been playing the Sherlock Holmes games since the Jack the Ripper game and this game has ruined the franchise for me. I hate what they have done to the look of the character and the changes that make this game an Assassin's Creed rip off. They had a really nice thing going that fans enjoyed and they just had to get greedy and try to make something that would appeal to everybody and that is NEVER a good idea. You have lost the games fans and I doubt you have gained any new players. Hate this game and do not recommend it to anyone. On top of these complaints the load times were atrocious! Goodbye Sherlock, this will be out last meeting.… Expand

    Jeu d'aventure assez joli qui prouve que l'Unreal 3 peut encore faire des trucs pas mal en dépit de temps de chargement (entre d'assez petites zones pourtant) horripilants : pas loin d'une minute chrono et au mieux dans les 45 secondes ! Les animations sont un peu raides, cependant mais la VF est de qualité pour sa part, c'est toujours ça de pris.

    Mais le problème rédhibitoire de cette    Jeu d'aventure assez joli qui prouve que l'Unreal 3 peut encore faire des trucs pas mal en dépit de temps de chargement (entre d'assez petites zones pourtant) horripilants : pas loin d'une minute chrono et au mieux dans les 45 secondes ! Les animations sont un peu raides, cependant mais la VF est de qualité pour sa part, c'est toujours ça de pris.

    Mais le problème rédhibitoire de cette enquête est soit un bug, soit un machin, un indice que je n'ai pas validé, ou bien cet empaffé de jeu de merde n'a absolument aucune logique... Or, la logique veut qu'on aille au pub et lorsqu'on y va, cet abruti répète qu'il n'a pas soif. Déjà pour un Anglais, ça n'a pas de sens mais surtout, c'est totalement aberrant de refuser de suivre le cours de l'enquête.

    Quelle connerie de merde de jeu à la con programmé par des zouaves ! faut faire quoi pour avancer ? chanter la traviata dans les rues pouilleuses de ce Londres dégueulasse ? si je me retape encore un aller-retour de 2 minutes pour rien, je vous désinstalle, Môssieur le détective en carton ! Ah bah c'est déjà fait. En fait. Et ne reviens pas, couillon !    … Expand

    EN:
    Bad. Not worth buying. Strange characters, bad story and lots of bugs.

    SRP:
    Loše. Nije vredno kupovine. Čudni karakteri, loša priča i mnogo bagova.

    The Devil's Daughter feels like it never misses an opportunity to take you out of the game. Maybe if it weren't supposed to be a Sherlock Holmes game that wouldn't be as much of an issue, but if you're going to borrow from such an iconic character, it would make sense to at least try to get more of that character's essence right.

    The story here is enjoyable and the ending has some legitimately tense moments, but almost everything about it feels like it could have, and should have, been better.

    The abrupt endings, forced action sequences, and extensive load times mar an otherwise fun adventure game. The topnotch writing, and fascinating hook of Holmes struggling with a real issue are buried beneath these problems.
