    Played the original years ago and it was a great game. This remake is ruined by a terrible off-centered camera and a bad Holmes design.

    Avoid it, play the original.

    Very good. 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.

    Frogwares brings back a Sherlock game with many enhancements and plot tweaks that despite its Lovecraftian style, is just not able to reach the standards set by Chapter One.

    Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened is much more than a simple remake, it’s a new take on the original. It dives further into the psyche of Sherlock and lets you get to know Watson better. The sights and sounds have been reworked and it was an enjoyable experience even when frustrated with my skills in problem solving. It’s definitely a case worth investigating.

    Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened targets a very specific group of gamers and delivers for them. It's definitely not for everybody, and if you are mainstream gamer with no interest in detective and puzzle oriented games, you can probably skip this one.
