Some of the puzzles are good, but some of them are illogical and require hints. The entire library area I found difficult since it was elongated and unfun. If you are ok with using hints, then this won't trouble you. Worth a try for a sherlock fan, you will get something out of it.
I bought this game as part of the Sherlock Holmes Collection sale, but at the time of writing, by itself it would cost 89 pence. For that very low price, and given this game brought me ~15 hours of entertainment, I'd say it's worth picking this one up on sale - perhaps not full price though. Yes, some of the puzzles were at times obtuse, and yes, it certainly has its issues - but the game has a thorough hint system should you need it. If you do decide to give it a try, I would strongly recommend playing the game in first person rather than third person.
