    The Ukrainian studio Frogwares has opted for a remake of one of their games released in 2006 as a result of the conflict ravaging its country. Rather than being satisfied with a slight remake, the game has been completely reworked from A to Z: that’s what we’re talking about! The story is slightly modified compared to the original, and the graphics are very pleasant, as is the soundtrack. We really get into the game when searching for clues and reconstructing sequences of events. The only small drawbacks come from the characters’ stiffness and the fact that the game only has English subtitles. What a lovely time spent with Holmes and Watson.

The story was engaging and the environments were very rich and interesting. Thoroughly enjoyed. I feel like it was a bit short for the price. The DLC did add a couple of hours but not still not sure it was worth the extra cost. Frogwares have clearly put time and effort into improving the mechanics from Chapter One and have obviously listened to player feedback which is refreshing.… Full Review »
