Jan. 2025

It was felt during the entire game that this game was plauged by develompent crisis. If the developers had more time and not a war going on in their country, The game would have been a 8 or a 9 easy. But even then, they where still able to release a good game. Hats off. 7 out of 10. If you liked the first game (Chapter one) and is a Holmes fan, you will not be disappointed.

This was my first Sherlock game and it's a bobby dazzler. I am still trying to find a game that does justice to the Cthulhu mythos and this does a pretty good job, with a relatively slow burn up to the craziness of the ending. However, it was the detective portions that really drew me in and it's why I bought Chapter 1 immediately on completing this. The crimes are mostly all very interesting to solve, nothing too brain melting but still satisfying and logical and they weave in the Lovecraftian elements quite well as a counterpoint to Holmes' rigidly logical approach. Only downside were a couple of 'alternate dimension' levels which were truly awful but mercifully short. The one with swinging blades should be lead into a clearing and quietly shot.

Dec. 2024

Very good Sherlock Holmes/Cthulhu Mythos crossover. The main story and the side quests are all quite interesting. The puzzles and deductions arent overly hard but still give you a nice sense of accomplishment when you get them right on the first try. Graphics are OK for a double A game. The writing and voice acting are the game's strongest suit. I really enjoyed this version of Sherlock and Watson. The varied locations the story takes place in all feel atmospheric, memorable, and well-made. Overall, I really enjoyed this game. It inspired me to buy other Sherlock Holmes games by Frogwares, so it definitely gets a recommendation from me.

Dec. 2024

When the bombs started to fall on Kyiv, instead of fleeing, the developer decided to make this game, with constant power outages and the possibility of death. I find this a remarkable show of the indomitable human spirit.

I say, Watson, would you be afraid to sleep in the same home as a lunatic, a man with softening of the brain, an idiot whose mind has lost its grip? This line moves me deeply. 🎻
