this game is fun play wise for me, but ive been noting some subtle racism in the dialogue. particularly in the second story. the game itself is linear and pretty easy to walk through. but i cannot recommend based on weird problematic dialogue choices
Very fun if you enjoy deductive, thought provoking, and problem solving games. Some issues related to thinking about how 1-2 of the cases should have played out, but it's fine. 8.5/10 would recommend.
Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments is the first Sherlock game I played and is part of the reason I’ve become a Sherlock fan, to now I’m even reading the books.
As I understand, this game was the first in the series that moved more towards the player making connections and deductions to solve the cases. There are still some puzzle like the older games, but that’s not necessarily the main gameplay. You play through 6 independent cases as Sherlock Holmes and get to experience his methods (like his impressive knowledge of tobaccos) and drama, plus some goofiness from seeing his disguise table. Each case can take around 2 hours to explore and solve.
There are 25 achievements, which are relatively straightforward and were fun to get. A few of them are missable but it’s not bad.
YOU GET TO PLAY AS TOBY. Really good game, I would and have recommended it before.
Product refunded because of constant crashing at beginning of game. I wish I was able to play it (sigh)
A-mazing
Finally got yo grips with how it works but frankly the mini games are tedious and not interesting enough to be worthwhile. There are various parts where you must question people but if you miss out what seems an an unrelated question, you miss a clue. I can't be bothered to play it any more.

I hate and love it when Dr. Watson always blocking my way
Watson :)
Is a good game, but a play once game.
Be sure to not look for any hints online. Otherwise it will be short.
Frogwares always builds Sherlock's criminal cases very smoothly and this game is no exception. I enjoyed solving every case.
Good game, but crashes in during deduction happen all the time and that is annoying and reason, why it is "No" for recommendation
I have loved every single Sherlock Holmes game, right back to the first one. Obviously the graphics improve as each one is brought out, but the mixture of characters, plots, and puzzles is spot on. If you don't want to just run around killing stuff, this is the one for you.
A lot of fun!
I like that whilst there is only really one 'correct' answer for each case, you get to choose whatever conclusion you think is the answer. Similarly, I like that you get to choose the outcome of each case too (condemn or absolve). There are numerous different routes you can follow on each case that could lead you to different conclusions.
It made me appreciate The Great Mouse Detective more :^)
I enjoyed playing each case. I only disliked the frequency of certain minigames, but they can be skipped. Overall 8/10
An adequate game, there are a lot of loading screens, as you change location often, which is a bit annoying. The cases haven't gripped me, maybe i'll come back to it, but i'd rather play a good game than an average one
To be honest, I went in blind. I had no prior experience with games from this company, but I must say; this one is pretty fire.
Things that I see as positive:
- very pretty graphics
- interesting cases
- the snippets of Sherlock's personal life in between cases
- The way the dialogs are written, it just does something for me
- Minigames
- I think the length of the game is satisfactory, just enough to make a good gameplay and leave you with that curiosity for more
As for things that kind of irritated me:
- It is true that a lot of things are handed over to the player on a silver plate. What's worse, it's usually things that are kind of intuitive, that you could get satisfaction from completing on your own.
- On the contrary, when You don't get hints for something, it's mostly for things that, yeah, are pretty non-intuitive.
All in all, it's definitely a game I'd recommend for future players. It's got the drama and the mystery, and it can make you reflect on your own morality. I'll absolutely try out another one of the Frogwares games on Sherlock, so far, they haven't disappointed.
good game.
Worthy of a purchase when on sale. A series of short mysteries that you need to solve, very digestible and can each one can be done comfortably in around 2 hours. Don't worry though, there is more than enough mystery to go around. I really enjoy it.
Not without its problems however, game crashed on me multiple times. Not sure what the cause is but i had to add a new variable in my hardware to fix it.
I was given the Sherlock Holmes experience.
Finally! A game where I can play as Butterscotch Crumblebottom
Sherlock Jones
Captivating! I could hardly put down my Steam Deck.
One of the best detective game I have played.
The game really shows its age and the fact that it was developed for consoles. So it should be much, much cheaper.
There is really not much gameplay in this game; It's all just running around the map several times until you've finally found every clue, for which you sometimes have to go into a completely superfluous special mode. You'll have times where you just run around again and again until you find just the right pixel to look at. Even worse, you'll check different locations separated by loading screens. If you're not pixel hunting, you're just told exactly what to do. It's just not fun.
The graphics really hold up, the voice acting is distractingly stale and doesn't allow you to get immersed at all. If it wasn't 10 years old, I'd think it was AI voice acted.
For better detective games, check out the Golden Idol, Return of the Obra Dinn, Chants of Senaar, The Operator, , Between Horizons, maybe Duck Detective. Also check out Firewatch and Inscryption, which are not classical detective games, but defiinitely scratched that itch for me.
Rather enjoyed the game, gabbed it during a sale and have sunk 7h into it and have thoroughly enjoyed it although my own stupidity has gotten in the way a couple times
Really enjoyed this, have nothing bad to say about it
Sherlock my a_s_s
Despite being a 10 year old game, this has held up pretty well. The story and cases are pretty solid; there's only one case that felt a bit lacklustre (5). The minigames can be slightly tedious at times, but they're all skippable. It is definitely replayable as well.
There are a few cons, one being that the puzzles are a little too easy to figure out, but I can understand why that is.
The other is the constant fast-travelling. The game isn't open-world, so you have to constantly fast travel to places, which can be annoying. As an example, in case 6, you get the objective to visit a pawnshop. You go there, examine a few things, then you're told to visit the crime scene again. 2 minutes later, you're told to go back to the pawnshop to get the items you examined.
The Sherlock series in general is super underrated, but this is a great game that I really enjoyed. I recommend this not only to Sherlock fans but also to anyone interested in a fun detective game :)
They could have done so much to make this game click, but, unfortunatelly, it is released unfinished, simplified, illogical. Rather a torture than fun. From the famous character only the name is left.
I loved this game
The deductions, using clues, and different moral endings are fun!
Very nice if you enjoy a good atmosphere and the small details.
Probably not for people who want quick action. Id say its a nice and slow game but that might also just be because I enjoy and check out every detail and take my time.
I'm not too familiar with the lore of Sherlock Holmes from the world of literature, but he is certainly an interesting, and a well written character in this game. The different cases are very exciting, and the game plays like an anthology, where each individual case paints a bigger picture of the story. I think the game could have been a little bit more challenging, but overall it's a very solid detective / investigation game!

First review ever placed, also the first Sherlock Holmes game ever played. Had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The way the game challenges you to come to your own conclusions. It rewards a detailled playstyle perfectly and the puzzles add a nice variety. Aside from the Kew Gardens Drama, the cases and outcomes where diverse and fulfilling.
The aesthete superfreaks will love this game. Gorgeous scenery with plenty of nice little well-researched details. Refined, witty dialogue too. But the music isn't FANTASTIC. Most of the soundtrack is just this one murder-y theme that makes you go, "Hmm. There's been a murder here...."
Some of the minigames are super asinine though? And it's not like RETURN OF THE OBRA DINN where you have to figure out everything yourself. Rather, collect enough clues, and oftentimes a binary choice will appear: "is (A) SCENERIO GOING ON? OR IS IT (B)?"
6 standalone chapters--6 little focused stories. No long Act 2 slog. I would expect this to take 10-18 hours to see the end. 10 hours if you are a boor and don't appreciate the finer things in life. 15+ hours if you are a true gentleman and stop to take screenshots, and read the little elegant text blurbs and go, "Ah yes, yes! Indeed."
-Would heartily recommend with reservations: (+) you like pretty things and enjoy walking around pretty things; (+) you like short stories, and not long complicated character arcs and "character growth" and all of that blah blah Act 2 nonsense; (+) you don't mind slightly goofy scenarios, and actually kinda like goofy things.
(-) DON'T get it if you require grimdark puzzles to stimulate your 10,000 IQ galaxy brain.
This game is very good. The story, the flow, the controls, everything just falls together very nicely. Every case you have to solve is fun in its own and doesn't dissapoint. If you like puzzle games, detective games or stories, or if you are just a fan of sherlock holmes, this is the game for you! Definetly reccommend this, worth the money and time.
GOOD
This game is the perfect inbetween game for being too old and too new from Frogwares.
8/10
The devs have written a love letter to the Sherlock Holmes franchise. And it's well worth it. Decently made, and replayable after a while. Genuinely enjoyed the puzzles, it has a similar feel to old games, yet looks like something made in the past decade. Great job Frogware Inc!
Brave Toby! The best nose in the British Empire!
Interesting and surprising, alot of fun.
GOTY material
A perfect Sherlock Holmes game. Everything that are good in past games, are all improved in this one. The case by case format also works really well with Sherlock storytelling. The added moral option is a welcoming mechanic which make you shape Sherlock in your own way but still true to his character whichever choice you made since Sherlock is a brilliant man who has a really deep personality. This game makes you actively being Sherlock (character reading, deduction, research and dialogue) and test your detective skill as it should.
Classic Sherlock Holmes narrative detective puzzle game.
Six cases, each with multiple puzzles, a interesting twists, and various possible conclusions. There were a couple of cases I recognised from actual Sherlock Holmes stories which closely matched what I remember of the originals.
This is exactly what you would want and expect from a great Sherlock Holmes adaptation into a game. Puzzles, picking up objects to find hidden openings, observing characters, interrogating suspects, imagining sequences of events.
When it comes to visuals, sound, VO etc this is all up there with other small studios doing their best with limited resources. It doesn't look AAA but it all works. And it is superior to AAA in that there is very little excess fat. It is all trim and focused.
If you want a good detective game in a realistic traditional style, this is a great one to go for.
Sherlock. 8/10
In this game you will need to solve 6 cases. There isn't much action, it's mostly exploration, solving puzzles and picking the right combinations for the evidence you have found. Graphics and stories are quite nice (despite this being an old game) but the game gets a bit repetitive and not all the cases have the same difficulty nor the same length.
This said, if you love the character, I'm sure you will appreciate this. I bought the game during a quite high discount, so I don't mind this not being "great". My final advice is to get it if you find it discounted, but don't buy at full price.
