Starts off with lots of momentum that unfortunately dwindles during the half way mark since the cases just don't hold up. The puzzles are not overly complex and some are fun and there is a good variety so it keeps it interesting. Overall its a fun experience if you like the Sherlock universe but its hard to recommend if your not already a fan.

First and foremost, it's important to note that, while skipping mini-games or OTEs is available in this game, doing so will result in missing their associated achievements. So, if you're aiming for 100% completion, don’t skip them and remember that those tasks need to be completed manually; otherwise, you’ll end up wasting a massive amount of time replaying them later on (trust me, I learned this the hard way T^T). This is one of the easiest games in the Sherlock Holmes series. It's great for beginners or anyone not used to this type of game, since it offers a lot of help, such as skip options, very obvious object highlighting, and clear instructions on what to do and how to progress (or even hold your hand and walk with you). Also, unlike the others in the same series, the puzzles here don’t test your skills or brainpower at all. You just need to collect all the clues and use a bit of logic to put everything together at the end. If you’ve played older Sherlock Holmes games or even 'Chapter One', you’ll find this one much more beginner-friendly and guided.

Devil's Daughter is another worthy addition to the Sherlock Holmes series. It consists of 5 major cases, plus the unfolding of the story of Kate's daughter (who was introduced in Testament). It uses the newer 'mind palace' interface and the graphics and audio are on par with the later titles. For those who have played other Sherlock Holmes games, It is an enjoyable interlude in a familiar place. The apartment at 221 Baker and Scotland Yard remain unchanged and, of course, Toby (the dog) is always present. There are some very complex puzzles in diverse environments that I found challenging and fun. Lots of evidence to uncover and multiple suspects in each case. Achievement hunters should be able to get 100% if nothing is skipped and you are able to win a lawn bowling tournament (which was simpler than I expected). Unlike some of the other games, there is no achievement for identifying the 'correct' suspect or making specific moral choices. This gives the player more freedom in linking evidence and coming to their own conclusions. I played the game on the easier level, as I was looking for relaxation rather than stress. Even on easy, you can still die but the penalty is marginal (restart at the same place). There were a couple of balancing ('walk-the-plank') and eavesdropping exercises that I could not do with my keyboard and mouse. A controller was more intuitive for me to manage two-handed coordination. The game auto-saves at regular intervals during each case. Thus, if you want to return to a prior checkpoint in the current case, you can do so. Once a case is completed, you are warned that moving ahead will delete all saves and begin again with the new case. Until this point, you can circle back and revise your conclusion and choices without penalty. A warning... if the Holmes story grabs you, it is possible to binge for weeks by playing one game after another. I am not sure why it took me so long to jump into this world but it has been fun and I still have more titles to play. I highly recommend this to those who enjoy a good story and love solving mysteries.
