![]() The puzzles in the last part were a mixed bag as well some of them required mathematical knowledge (which I do not possess), others wanted you to know things I believe you had no way of knowing beforehand or were mentioned way back - such as the symbol of the Old Ones -, and the Scotland map puzzle was absolutely ridiculous the map was immense and you had to ciick on a VERY specific point in it in order to continue. Midway through the game, the actions and the puzzles became mostly sorely unintuitive in order to interact and/or pick up some objects, you had to perform a specific series of actions, even if you already knew what to do it was very frustrating. However, I found it not to be as good as its sucessor, 'Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper'. A good adventure game and a very interesting take on a Sherlock Holmes' type of case the mix with the Cthulhu mythos worked amazingly. … ExpandĪ good adventure game and a very interesting take on a Sherlock Holmes' type of case the mix with the Cthulhu mythos worked amazingly. Anyway, it seems to me a more than worthy game to be played and that without a doubt, it has a special place among the famous British detective's deliveries. For me, its only weakness lies in the decline of the plot, especially after the asylum in Switzerland, as the trip to Louisiana feels a bit forced and disjointed with the rest of the events. The controls were smooth and agile, and with the remastered edition, in addition to a considerable improvement in the animations, the possibility of marking objects of interest, for me, has been a real luxury, since the countless hours trying to find the pixel that contains the x object of interest are over. Speaking of previous episodes, I was a bit sad that the references were so scarce, as in the case of one of the paintings in Baker Street, or news in the newspapers, a real shame. In any case, I found them all satisfactory, unlike the first episode of the saga, the mystery of the mummy, where most of the puzzles involved completing images by moving squares. As far as the puzzles are concerned, I have mixed feelings, and I found some of them very elementary, while others, on the other hand, hid a logic on the verge of absurdity, as is the case of the numbering of the coordinates. The story is told in a very visual way, and unlike the predecessor games, there is no final moment of "revelation", which although it usually works very well in cinema, in video games I think it is a disservice, as it generates in the player, the feeling of disconnection from the character, as this is able to draw conclusions without you remotely dazzle them, something that in this game is handled very well, being logical but not absurdly elementary. The game starts off perfectly, calmly, and without unnecessary fuss, with class and elegance, but it quickly turns dark, and it is precisely in this balance between fantasy and reality that it gives my 20-year-old self and my 10-year-old self the chills. … Expandįirst of all, I'm probably not the best person to judge this episode of the Sherlock Holmes games, because for me, this game involves a very First of all, I'm probably not the best person to judge this episode of the Sherlock Holmes games, because for me, this game involves a very high level of nostalgia. The adventure begins in London, in the renowned Baker Street, taking us then to investigate a disturbing psychiatric hospital near Bale, Switzerland, then on to Louisiana and finally to Scotland. Sherlock Holmes, assisted by the loyal Doctor Watson, investigates strange disappearances which seem related to the activity of a secret sect. The game plunges the player into the heart of a terrifying investigation. The game has traditional Point & Click game play, in a real time 3D environment, while offering numerous enigmas and varied puzzles including some that use physics and light for the first time. The game rises to the challenge of being entirely in 3D while the creators have kept classic game mechanics, the game benefits from the freedom and the immersion brought by a superb animated and detailed real time 3D environment. ![]() The game rises to the challenge of being entirely in 3D while the creators have kept classic game mechanics, the game benefits from the freedom and the immersion A veritable adventure game licence, Sherlock Holmes returns in a superb third episode that gives a whole new angle to the series.
