I seriously can not see why this had so many positive reviews. I bought it as a bundle so at least I didn't lose a lot of money but sanity is another thing. This game dragged on, and on, and on and on..... with boring dialogue and poor game play. If I wasn't such a stubborn old cow I'd have bailed after the first session but meh I hate to be beat lol.
The game is nauseating to play in 1st POV which is why I spent as much time on it (I had to keep pausing), I finally gave up and changed camera. This didn't really help.
Controls were sad click to move and completely hopeless for finding most items as they wouldn't show up unless you were standing on top of them. Watson has my eternal contempt as he was a PITA for getting in the way when you had both characters together.
Puzzles, while simple, were ambiguous at best when trying to work out what you were aiming to achieve. There were no real guidelines to puzzles, you just swam or sank, explanations that were there were sketchy at best.
Really disappointed and can only hope the rest in the set I've bought shape up a little bit better, at least they can't get worse.
*Bet I've shot myself in the foot for saying that!
6/10
Damn, that Jack sure did rip.
9.5/10 Great puzzles, engaging story, very expertly walks the line between imagination and narrative realism. There were a few small bugs a quick google search and steam guides resolved- would've been much less frustrating having known I'd need to look something up eventually- but that didn't detract from the game overall. Without spoiling anything, the game takes pains to remind you that this was based on real murders and isn't just a fun story while still maintaining your engagement in the tale. I can't understate how effective, chilling, and thoughtful this game was. Wish it was nicer to Watson, but that's my molehill to die on.
This is my first of frogware's sherlock holmes games but I instantly a fan! It can be abit too hard times but that's what sherlock known for, And the horror atmosphere and accuracies of horrible and terrible living state of victorian england with the poor and desperate having to somehow live in the horrible enviorments even the children just a errie feel. Espically with the main villain being history most notorious serial killer
I liked it and thoroughly enjoyed the investigation, red herrings and logic puzzles. Didnt have trouble with any of them, I was only sad that the game was over.
I'm still not quite sure how I feel about this being based on real crimes, they were mostly respectful to the victims by not showing anything overly gorey though. I liked the alternative frogware favored for the last victim. Yeah that was a logic pull on photographic memory, but I appreciate using fantasy and suspension of disbelief for not teethering too close into uncharted territory.
Among all five classic Sherlock Holmes games, this one is by far the best so if you are looking to play the classic adventure, play this. Frogwares took all the good things from previous installments and made it even better. The best thing is the introduction of deduction board. It invites you to think along with Sherlock and sometimes like in the book, you are riddled with his thought as you see from Watson's perspective which is a really interesting dynamic. Also, once again, they played with the fact why there is no SH versus JTR irl :)
I have no idea how the reviews for this game are so high, it's the worst one of the franchise I have played so far. The puzzles don't have instructions, most of the game is pointless fetch quests, items are too hard to find, and the ending is disappointing and lackluster. Shouldn't have to look up a walk through to understand the puzzles.
This game is an absolute gem. It still looks good and the game mechanics work well. It does an excellent job at building the world and you get invested in it from the very start. London looks grime but that is exactly how it was meant to be.
While this game introduces some interesting and somewhat fun mechanics (I say mostly because in later parts of this series they’re present but much more polished) it doesn’t help the game because it fails to execute them well. So yeah, kinda dropped the ball there game.
The story is also much less interesting than the previous 2 games. Jack the Ripper is interesting when going against anything that isn’t a detective (at least that’s how I feel). The characters are fine, I liked the side characters much more in Nemesis. Also, I thought it was going to change somewhat but Holmes is just a cunt towards Watson. Not in a funny or interesting or whatever way, he’s just awful to him (especially in this game).
So, why is my game time so low? Well, there’s a puzzle I couldn’t solve. So, I looked (after a while) on the internet and a guide said to do the things I was doing. So, I watched a video. And what do you know when they press the button on the thing something happens, while with my game fuck all happens. So yeah, sorry but not finishing the game.
Also, I hate it when you have items in your inventory and you need to talk to people about it but the game won’t give you the option to talk about them when they’re in your inventory. No, you HAVE to equip the item and THEN talk to them. Rubbish, just rubbish!
good
