My god this game hit me in the heart so many times. Sherlock is his usual quippy little self but I loved watching him banter with Jon and watch Jon pick up Sherlock when he would show any signs of depression or instability. The side quests all add to the lore of Cordona in one way or another and even those had me tearing up or raging for what some of the victims, and Sherlock, went through. I took about a half hour to decide how I wanted to conclude the main story and eventually I went the Sherlock accidentally responsible route and it was the most heartbreaking ending ever. Spoilers about Jon: I assumed there would be some connection between Jon and John Watson considering their names, but seeing Jon say goodbye to Sherry when he plead with him to not walk into the garden just before Sherry remembers everything, cut to Sherlock meeting John for the first time and even crying a little because of the likeness after everything Sherlock went through after remembering, it BROKE me. Truly well done.

i am going to recommend this game for the story itself over anything else. story to me was a 10/10 but the gameplay seemed very janky and travel was pretty annoying. combat was probably the worst, being very arcade like and lacking any thrill. overall if you like a good story its the game for you but the play itself leaves something to be desired

I don‘t really get the negative comments about this game. To me this game is the best one I‘ve ever played. I get bored easily but this game got me hooked. I love how we can conclude different outcomes, I love being able to go wherever I want. Honestly having to pin clues in order to ask people about it, makes so much sense to me. I love the story too, the first time I had finished the game I was so shocked but it just made me want to replay it again.

This is, in my opinion, an over-ambitious jank-fest, riddled with performance issues and a good amount of tedium. But after THAT ENDING, how can I not recommend this game?

Quite frankly, when I bought this videogame I thought it would be average: its graphics from benchmarks and gameplays didn't seem that good-looking, its first case looked quite small, but hell... I WAS WRONG!!!! I can tell you for a matter of fact that its optimization is as good, if not even better, than "Sherlock Holmes the Awakened", its FSR implementation is sublime, its graphics at maximum settings at 5k resolution were breath-taking, and consider that I'm playing with an 8GB GPU like that with no problem! All of its DLCs were sincerely really good, its cases and its main story, even though they are very long, are never boring, and its achievements are pretty well-done. Furthermore, in my opinion, considering everything I wrote earlier, for its price it's a bargain. Especially the Premium Edition. So, ladies and gents, this videogame quite honestly amazes me, and if you're a detective-games fan, or simply a gamer in search of a new videogame to play, this is the best one!
