Sherlock Holmes The Awakened Remake
About the Game
The Sherlock Holmes series returns with this updated version of The Awakened, which brings a whole new dimension to the original title developed by Frogwares. Keeping with the traditional gameplay style of the original adventure games, The Awakened has been totally rethought, offering players a new third-person view while keeping the original first-person view available also.The game puts the player into an investigation of the myth of Cthulhu - as imagined by author H.P. Lovecraft. Sherlock Holmes, assisted by the loyal Doctor Watson, investigates strange disappearances which seem related to the activity of a secret sect. The adventure begins in London, in the renowned Baker Street, taking us to investigate a disturbing psychiatric hospital near Bale, Switzerland, on to Louisiana and finally to Scotland.

Good plot, good voice acting, some visual design problems making it difficult to tell which doors can be interacted with, but the game also has graphical glitches with some decoration objects turning invisible when viewed from certain angles and a few puzzles are terrible, like the sea chart having an extremely small click target and no zoom. Ontop of that, there are CRITICAL performance problems (fix described further down).
I do like this game but problems like those above and the clunkiest chase scene imaginable makes it tough to recommend.
Unlike the Mystery of the Mummy and The Case of the Silver Earring, which came before it, this game works pretty well after applying the following fix:
solution: go to Appdata/roaming/games/yoursherlockholmesgame
- find setup.ini
- open it with Notepad or another text editor
- find v-sync and change "default" to "four"
- find windowed mode and change "no" with "yes"
Optional: * execute the game as administrator

The original still fun. Some of the puzzles are quite challenging and hard to figure for a non-native.
I had hoped this was going to be better than the last but alas, this one too sucked and blew.
Crashed out at Warehouse 12 for me and I was not wasting any more time of restarting the game to see if it fixed it on a new play through.
So far this has been a dead loss for me, the 2 of the Sherlock games I've played are dismal in controls, without any real guidance what's so ever (NO not hand holding but at least an idea from your previous task completed where you need to head next.).
I have 5 more from the bundle I bought to try but I am not holding out hope for any improvement. As an after thought, Watson still gets in your way and is a PITA!
Game breaking bug central. A number of people, including myself have completed all tasks in order in the Arneson House only to have the game not allow you to proceed back to the Docks area after using the lemon to get by the mosquitoes/see the blood/rope on the dock. When using the map or trying to leave the area Sherlock will say you still need to do something.
I've followed every walkthrough to a T during this section, and the game should have progressed but is bug central. It's the worst Sherlock game I've played thus far. Every game after this one has been great.
Much better than the previous installments of the series. In fact, I would suggest starting with this one.
+/- Controls are MUCH better than previous games but still clunky and obtuse.
+/- Music is still very repetitive, but some new tracks for the darker parts of the game add some needed spice.
+ Sherlock is still a little annoying, but he no longer tries his best to be hated by the player.
+ The nature of this mystery really feels like a match for Holmes and Watson: an intelligent duo encountering the unknown and still coming out the victors.
Better than the first one! Old, but still worth a play! Would have loved more detective works as early stage of the game... but like the horror aspects.
Original awakened. Play this first and then the other one
it's an interesting game for me to play. And most of the time, i enjoy it so much. However, i don't recommend this game to friends or people.
Why? Frankly speaking, there are some bugs and crashes that can really make you mad or cry during the gameplay. For me, after going to the Switzerland, i failed a mission during that time (discovered by those doctors), then, i realised that i didnt save. So what, i still enjoy the game, so i played the whole game one more time, and got back to that "hospital". It's understandable for a old game doesnt have a auto save. (at least for me XD) After that, i also fell into the void while catching the thief. And now, the game crashes in the garden chapter and the save is also crashed.( It actually costs me a huge time.)
Nevertheless, i still like this game and i will try to play it again safer after that. (until i reach to the ending >:(((((( ).
If youre doubted for buying this game or not, i would suggest you watch the full game walkthrough on youtube. It would be much better if you dont want to risk money or time on playing nothing but bugs.
A great Sherlock Holmes story with twist and turns. The addition of first person also improved the investigation part since you can have more detailed view but sometimes you will miss something when not in third person which will see you go back and forth. The lack of tutorial also will become apparent when you are halfway in the game (the help screen isn't a tutorial, it is more like a holding hand).
Confusing mess.
A very nice palette cleanser after the previous Frogwares Sherlock games. The controls are much easier to handle, the inclusion of a first-person perspective really helps. The game also had (this is quite subjective but I’d still like to mention it) a much more interesting story with fun characters compared to the previous instalments. The puzzles were nice and I really like the inclusion of a sort of fast travel mechanic and a strategy guide to help you out. Massive improvement and (in my opinion) the first real game of this series.
