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.
Mr Hoooooooooooolmes..
I kinda felt stupid in some of the time that im finding the clues but it was worth it. I love sherlock since the beginning and always.
aku adalah detektif, detektif adalah aku
I really liked all the minigames and figuring out what the solution was.
It is indeed a truly remarkable experience Watson

9/10. This is my first game into the series and it has met all my expectations as a detective investigation game. Every case is well made and each of them contains really in-depth story that require you to think twice before concluding on the choice you've made. In my playthrough i was only able to correctly guess 3 out of 6 cases because i hadn't fully understood the situations by revisiting the important dialogues and evidences (except for Blood Bath which i still think that it has contradictory conclusions since two of the options are logically sound but it was still my most favourite case). The graphics are dated but it was from a decade ago so i wouldn't complain about it and the game runs pretty smoothly with dx9 (dx11 had graphical issues) but with some few occasional crashes which is fine due to the game engine (specifically dx9) showing its age with modern hardware.
Casual game. Not very challenging but enjoyable, puzzles are simple but varied.. I recommend for people who like polars.
Most of the gameplay ressembles a non frustating point and click, for you are very guided.
You still need to deduce the story from clues you gather and you can get it wrong. Again not very challenging, but requires to pay some attention.
Even though I prefer Chapter one, it's a good start to get into the series.
Pretty good game. Wish it was longer though. Only real downsides is that some of the cases were somewhat boring, and I barely knew what I was doing in the beginning. Felt weird with how selecting something is by clicking it and not hitting 'E'. The only thing I would change about it is Watson's character. To be fair, I never read the novels but Watson seemed like an idiot most of the time.
It's really enjoyable, i love replaying it solving the puzzles again, seeing all the characters and just enjoy testing my brain. If you want a fun game that features one of the greatest detectives in literature, then Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments is for you! Great game. Very much like the character of Sherlock and Watson that are loved from the books and movies. I like the mysteries and how to solve them.
I really enjoyed solving these crimes.
