Sept. 2025

Just as good as the previous installment of the series, The Awakened (2008). It makes for a nice follow-up to that game, though you could play this one first with no problem. +/- Controls are MUCH better than previous games but still a little clunky and obtuse. +/- Music is not nearly as repetitive in this one. Not a great set of music, but it at least doesn't drive you mad, as in previous installments. + Sherlock actually is, dare I say, likable in this game! Funny enough, I found myself liking Sherlock more than Watson this time around. + Yet again, a true match for Sherlock. This time, not through some unknown force but an equally powerful mind. You may even find yourself liking the nemesis by the end.

Sept. 2025

Yes, this is the first Frogwares Sherlock Holmes game that I can confidently recommend as GOOD! Nemesis plays very similarly as The Awakened Remastered, but has better polish and smoother design. The case is much more straightforward, making it easier to follow and enjoy. The excellent stepwise hint system returns and I recommend using it. There's no reason to get stuck in an old game like this. Next up: Sherlock Holmes versus Jack the Ripper. This actually released before Nemesis Remastered, so I'm not sure it will be as polished. I'm hoping for the best.

Nice piece of Sherlock Holmes adventures, can recommend if you like the series, otherwise pretty old game :)

Feb. 2025

If you've played any of the older Frogwares SH games, this is one of the best in the series (behind maybe only Jack the Ripper). Some great puzzles and playful narrative moments. Plus +10 if you're British, as you'll be travelling to several London landmarks. I think when playing these older games, you have to expect some of the pacing issues; The ending seemed to wrap up really quickly and wasn't quite as satisfying as it could've been. Biggest gripe: There's one really big area that makes it hard to find all the clues. You'll need to spam spacebar constantly and likely use the hint guide. Favourite scene: Lupin surfing on the Rosetta Stone.
