pros ✅ The intermixing of Cthulhu and Sherlock Holmes is quite inventive and innovative ✅ Lovecraftian/Holmesian hybrid plot—a dark, unpredictable tale of an arcane sect responsible for kidnappings, bloody murders, and dismemberments. You investigate a series of strange disappearances related to the Cthulhu Mythos as Sherlock and Watson in this supernatural mystery PCN, a remake of the 2006 classic ✅ There are plenty of atmospheric and different places, such as London, Switzerland, New Orleans, and Scotland ✅ you can freely move the game's 3D environments ✅ well-made cinematic cutscenes ✅ The game features well-designed, realistic, and detailed characters, along with good-looking, polished 3D graphics ✅ two playable characters (Holmes and Watson) ✅ creepy settings and atmosphere ✅ hard to solve but wide variety of puzzles ✅ there is a map for fast travel. ✅ lenghty adventure ✅ decent voice acting ✅ there are steam achievements and cards ✅ there is auto save cons ❌ The frustrating and annoying QTE sequences, especially the final sections at the top of the lighthouse, nearly caused me to rage quit and leave the game unfinished ❌ The gameplay and investigation mechanics are confusing and complicated, making them difficult to get used to ❌ It wasn't the best-optimized game, and even on a high-powered computer, it still lags and causes FPS drops in some scenes ❌ The narrative is somewhat convoluted and contrived, featuring disjointed storytelling. Many questions remain unanswered, and the fates of some NPCs are unclear. Additionally, the subplots within the overarching story lack resolution ❌ some unintuitive puzzles with obscure solutions ❌ The ending feels flat and incomplete Overall, this is an enjoyable addition to the long-running Sherlock Holmes adventure series, featuring engaging side quests, a Lovecraftian and Holmesian hybrid dark story, well-designed and varied investigative and adventure-style puzzles, and atmospheric, meticulously crafted environments.
Now this is, unlike Sinking City, some fine-ass lovecraftian horror. No hordes of monsters, no soloing eldritch abominations. Just you and your fleeting sanity. The game takes Chapter One and turns it into a linear concentrated adventure and I absolutely love it. The atmosphere, direction, and sound design are very good, but the gameplay lacks variety compared to other, older titles, and might feel stale in the midgame and on. Not the best Frogwares title, but certainly worthy of a thumbs up.
Amazing game, if you enjoy lovecraftian horror and detective games, this is the game for you. They managed to capture the lovecraftian and sherlock themes in a way that really draws you in and stays reasonably true to the original works. A big part of the game is figuring things out on your own, with minimal help. There is a heavy focus on Sherlocks mindpalace and deciding on a character portrait, very engaging and fun. Sometimes you get to play as Watson.
This is a 2023 remake of the 2008 game "Sherlock Holmes The Awakened" by the same developer. The player will recognize the most memorable levels and moments from the original game. The remake offers a more focused narrative by largely eliminating the numerology and cryptology cyphers heavily featured in the first version, replacing these brainteasers with QTEs and environmental puzzles. The new version of Awakened is best described as a console adventure. The remake changes the year the story occurs, reframing it as a sequel adventure to Frogware's franchise reboot, "Sherlock Holmes Chapter One." The original Awakened was set in 1894. The remake adjusts this to 1882, with Holmes seemingly in his late 20s and recently paired with Dr. Watson, who is reintegrating into civilian life in London after serving in Afghanistan. Both men are resolving personal challenges. Some levels in this remake were redesigned for contemporary tastes: at times expanded to offer an open world to explore; at others condensed to force linear game progression. Holmes is drawn into supernatural pocket worlds with Twilight Zone doors, willfully defying the rules of the natural world to navigate his way back to reality. The levels are visually beautiful, and plausibly authentic for the period represented. There are some amusing modernisms: an example is the bartender at the London docks, who is now a woman wearing a 1970s pantsuit and a Church Lady haircut. (Returning players will be disappointed to learn that the hook-handed drunk from the original is no longer a denizen of the pub.) The main story is more concise than in the 2008 version, making it easier to understand how the locations tie together. Awakened is an entertaining adventure with compelling characters, although it is somewhat derailed at times by the manifestations of Holmes' internal mental struggles.
