Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter

Nicht zu leicht, nicht zu schwer.
Ein paar Szenen hätten sie rauslassen können oder anders gestalten aber das ist ja auch immer Geschmackssache.
Auf jeden Fall sein Geld wert. Macht Spass und man kann sich mal wie ein Schnüffler fühlen.

Awesome Game been a long time searching for a gem like this. Great story great missions what can i say except Shiver Me Timbers !!!

I did not expect a Sherlock Holmes game to remind me so strongly of Mafia II, of all games. And yet this feels very much like a combination of Mafia II and L.A. Noire.

Like Mafia II, the environments are large and there is a facade of an open world, but everything is just an inch deep. While there is a lot of Victorian London to look at, there is not a great deal to do there.

The actual investigation portions are a lot like L.A. Noire in that you are talking with suspects/witnesses, looking for clues in a crime scene, and putting together the facts and deducing the truth. While there is only one "correct" answer to each case in terms of the guilty party, I did appreciate the unexpected flexibility that the game extends in allowing Sherlock to get it wrong. I nearly charged the wrong person with murder a couple of times, which would have presumably ended the case before I had seen entire other environments.

This was my first Sherlock Holmes game, so I cannot compare this to the other games in the series as other people can. As a standalone experience, I found it to have some pretty high highs and some pretty low lows.

The writing is quite good, and I very much enjoyed the structure of the game; you are living life as Sherlock Holmes, solving case after case, all while a larger, overarching story is taking place around the investigations. I'm a big fan of detective fiction, and they do a nice job at delivering their own spin on the legendary sleuth.

On the downside, there are set pieces in this game that come close to ruining the experience for me. They offer the option to flat out skip each of these action sequences. I only took them up on the offer once, but the fact that they even give you the option to flat out skip these sequences tells me that even the developers know that these are the weak part of the game. It shows a lack of courage and confidence in the game that they made and, unfortunately, it is with good reason. Some of these sequences feel extremely ham-fisted and completely removed from the rest of the game.

Another source of frustration comes from some of the deduction/profiling sequences. You often have two choices of a conclusion to pull from presented evidence. For example, if someone is carrying a tiny mirror, you can choose to deduce if the person uses it as an actor, or if they are just self-affected. Objectively, the character is both an actor and self-affected, but the game will only consider one of these the "correct" answer. It also does not tell you which aspects of a character's profile that you got wrong, which led me to several frustrating restarts.

Still, for all of its faults, I would still recommend this to fans of detective fiction, or even if you are just interested in life in Victorian England, because it does do a good job at those things. I had a good time for most of my playthrough, though I ended up using a guide for the final two cases because I was just getting a bit exhausted with it.

It was ab bit slow at first and a bit confusing especially the control and how everything works. but after a while, you got the hang of it. good yet a bit slow story line,

on another note, this is a good game for those who loves detective like puzzles, adrenaline rush in between solving mystery is a YES. well, it's Sherlock Holmes we're talking about, of course there would be some dramas and actions involved.

Good Game. :)

Eu nunca havia jogado um jogo do Sherlock, peguei na promoção e me surpreendi. O jogo é linear e cheio de puzzles educativos e intuitivos, incentivando o player a explorar as possibilidades com base no contexto e em sua ética e moral. Recomendo, pois além de aprender mais sobre a história local e costumes da época, a história trabalha uma crítica social englobando costumes e crenças antigas. o/ Vale o XP!

The controls are honestly bad. I bought this thinking it would be like some similar sherlock games I've played in the past but this one is just frustrating with how laggy and bad the controls are. Pass.

Love the stories, though the motive is not always clear for culprits.

this game is very good in the story and gameplay i hope i can play this game again

7/10

The Devil’s Daughter is what happens when Sherlock Holmes trades in cold logic for action set pieces, parkour chases, and dramatic brooding worthy of a CW drama—and honestly, it’s kind of great in its own unhinged, Victorian way.

You play as Sherlock, but not the pipe-smoking, emotionally distant intellectual of classic literature. No, this is hot dad Sherlock—younger, sassier, and somehow managing to balance solving murders with raising a mysterious adoptive daughter and occasionally wrestling with existential dread in his waistcoat.

The game is a hybrid of detective work, exploration, and the occasional awkward mini-game that may or may not involve breaking into a crypt, disguising yourself as a drunk sailor, or chasing someone across rooftops like an untrained Assassin’s Creed intern. One minute you’re piecing together evidence and deducing motives like a genius, and the next you’re doing QTEs in a burning building while screaming “what is happening” internally.

What keeps it all together is the atmosphere. Victorian London feels dense, dirty, and alive. And the cast of characters, while sometimes leaning into melodrama, are engaging enough to make each case feel like a proper BBC mystery with a dash of "uh-oh, the occult might be real."

Each case has multiple outcomes based on your deductions, and the game doesn’t always tell you if you got it “right.” Which is perfect, because what’s a Sherlock Holmes game without the crushing weight of uncertainty and self-doubt?

It’s clunkier than its predecessor, Crimes & Punishments, and leans a little too hard into the action sometimes, but there’s still a strong core of clever puzzle-solving and story-driven investigation buried under the dramatic flair.

7.5/10 questionable disguises. Would accuse the wrong person with full confidence again

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.

Highly recommend playing this game in Master Sleuth mode with difficulty level set to hard.

Liked:
-Each case in this game has a unique storyline, and are not adapted from the original stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (except for the Mary Sutherland case). Making the game more story rich.
-Gameplay: A good balance between examining clues, talking to characters, making deductions, and performing action sequences.

Disliked:
- Experienced technical issues with graphics, and controls (specially using 'SPACE BAR' and 'SHIFT' to hide or run).

Recommendations:
- Puzzles: There should be more puzzles pertaining to solving the case. A good example of this is the mini game in the Mary Sutherland case. Two letters were examined to see if the same typewriter was used. This just makes the game more immersive.

Hikâye ve Atmosfer

Oyun, Holmes’un sıradan bir cinayet vakasından başlayarak, daha kişisel ve karanlık bir hikâyeye doğru sürüklendiği beş ana vakadan oluşuyor. Ancak en ilginç nokta, Sherlock'un evlatlık kızı Katelyn ile olan ilişkisi. Katelyn’in geçmişi ve kimliği, Holmes'un çözdüğü vakalardan bile daha karmaşık bir gizemi barındırıyor.

Londra sokakları, Viktorya dönemi havası başarıyla aktarılmış. Çamurlu caddeler, sisli sokaklar ve kasvetli mekanlar, tam bir klasik dedektif atmosferi yaratıyor.

Oynanış

Önceki oyunlara kıyasla, The Devil's Daughter daha fazla aksiyon ve hızlı bölümler içeriyor. Takip sahneleri, kovalamacalar ve mini bulmacalar oyuna dinamizm katıyor. Ancak özünde yine klasik Sherlock Holmes: ipucu toplama, insanları sorgulama ve akıl yürütmeyle çözülen vakalar ana unsurlar.

Dedektiflik mekanikleri oldukça başarılı: delilleri birleştirip kendi çıkarımlarını yapabiliyorsun. İlginç bir detay olarak, bazı vakalarda tamamen yanlış bir sonuca da ulaşabiliyorsun; çünkü oyun sana doğruyu doğrudan vermiyor, ipuçlarından kendi sonuca ulaşmanı bekliyor.

Grafik ve Sesler

Grafikler dönemine göre etkileyici, özellikle karakter modellemeleri ve Londra'nın detaylı tasarımı dikkat çekici. Ancak bazı ara sahnelerde animasyonlar biraz "sert" kalabiliyor.

Seslendirme konusunda ise özellikle Sherlock'un sesi oldukça karizmatik. Müzikler genellikle geri planda ve atmosferi güçlendirme görevinde, aşırı öne çıkmıyorlar ama doğru anlarda doğru hisleri veriyorlar.

Artılar

Güçlü atmosfer ve dönem hissi

Başarılı dedektiflik mekanikleri

İlgi çekici, kişisel bir hikâye

Farklı sonlar ve seçimlerin etkisi


Eksiler

Yer yer dengesiz tempolu bölümler (özellikle aksiyon sekansları)

Bazı teknik hatalar ve küçük optimizasyon problemleri

Animasyonlarda ufak tefek yapaylıklar


Sonuç

Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter, saf bir dedektiflik deneyimi isteyenler için küçük sürprizler barındırıyor. Daha aksiyon odaklı yaklaşımı serinin eski hayranlarını biraz şaşırtabilir ama yeni oyuncular için tempolu ve keyifli bir giriş kapısı sunuyor. Gizemli atmosferi, ilginç karakterleri ve seni gerçekten düşündüren bulmacaları var. Bana Crimes and Punishments kadar iyi gelmedi oynamaya, denemeye değer.

Puanım: 8/10

I've enjoyed playing this game. You need to solve 5 detective's cases, all of them were interesting. The only issue for me were definitely controls which weren't responsive... eg. wanted to move and couldn't for no apparent reason. The rest was fine.

After seeing the title and the trailer, I expected something like "Jack the Ripper meets The Awakened", but was utterly disappointed.

This game is really just a sequence of self-contained cases, akin to Crime and Punishment, with a half-hearted attempt to put an overarching narrative on top. Attempt, that fails miserably, because the supposedly main titular plot is sidelined most of the time and concludes with over the top ridiculousness that doesn't suit a Sherlock Holmes story at all.

Although, if you just pretend that the ending didn't happen, the game is great - gameplay of Crime and Punishment is expanded and improved, cases are interesting, make you think and most importantly - make sense.

[Finished the game in about 9 hours, then just let it run to collect the trading cards, lol]

good game!

Personally, this was my favorite sherlock holmes game. It had everything that I wanted and the cases were really interesting to solve, the story was also pretty good 9/10

Awesome storytelling and immersion, cool gameplay mechanics and controlls, and the minigames were fun and you didn't want to skip them, even if it was a function in the game. Would absolutely recommend!

a weak addition to the series further marred by an unnecessary attempt at a soft reboot, devil's daughter tries to follow in the footsteps of crimes & punishments with varying success. i do think it's a fine and fitting addition to the franchise, but it is really nothing special and easily forgettable.

the cases are far weaker than the former game, and there are some answers and puzzles that genuinely just do not make much sense (a deadly sin for any detective game). plus, i found the updated models which age sherlock and watson back about ~10 some years to be rather ugly and unappealing.

still, there are some interesting turns of events throughout, and frogwares' attempts at humanizing sherlock do not fall completely flat. i actually enjoyed the ending as well, though i will note it all felt a bit rushed.

play if you're a fan of the series, but you won't lose out on much if you decide to skip it.

I could not enjoy it. It feels like an old console game, with bad clunky controls, lots of QTAs and the only parts that could be fun which would be the detective QTAs are short and dont let you really enjoy them. Other "puzzles" are basically stand in a place and push a button or stand in another place and push a button, even when you know what your character should do already.
Not for me sadly.
It should have been a point and click game 100%

It isn't perfect, but as someone who loves the character "Sherlock Holmes," I think it does a great job scratching the itch of detective work without being too hard to follow. Unlike other of Frogwares Sherlock games, I did not have to look up how to progress a quest in this game. Although I did need to get a little help with a puzzle here and there. (skill issue on my part.) This is a good middle ground to the two other games I have played so far, Chapter One and one of their older games. I wished more of the cases were more interwoven with each other, but I can appreciate that they were trying something different. What I have grown to appreciate about these games is that there are still the core gameplay mechanics throughout the games, yet each one has it's own unique twist. In this case, (pun intended) the game was divided into "cases".

Overall, It is great if you like puzzle games that are a little open world. Even in this newer game, some of the puzzles still give the retro-detective puzzle vibe that people who play these games like. I could critique the game all day, But it is best for people to just appreciate the game for what it is and go for the story ride. :)

A solid rework released 2 years after Crimes and Punishments from 2014.
More freedom to explore as you can street roam which equals better immersion, also minigames turned into real, longer game mechanics.
Lots of cool locations - Baker Street, Scotland Yard police station, poor district, roofs, villa forest, Boules club, blacksmith, hospital, archeologist house, temple, taverrn, monastery, sewers, cementery, boat.

Graphics seem more realistic, but lost some of the previous game’s charm.
I wasn't enjoying sneaking parts.
It crashed once, which is a 10 times better compared to the last game.

I still liked Crimes and Punishments more, but this was pretty decent! :)

good game

Great game! I wish there were more campaigns, because its addicting!

story rich, excellent voice-over, and cinematic.

Great game that works great on Steam Deck.

Great game

Daughter. 7.5/10

Similar to other games in the franchise. Too many QTE for my taste but if you don't mind those it is pretty good. Would recommend buying on sale as the game is pretty short.

Very rough around the edges, but still enjoyable. From my memory, I liked Crimes and Punishments more, this felt more rushed, I guess. Particularly mini games in ep 1 and 2 feel like they should have been like, twice shorter at least, and the QTE at the bar felt a bit weird with controls and what games wants you to do. But still this is a curious case of modernizing the old school adventure genre, and we don't get many of those anymore.

Teka-tekinya mantap

жинке понравилось. однозначно лайк.

This game differs from Crime and Punishments (C&P), it has more challenging moment in it and cases are more complex even on the "easy mode". Graphic is not as pleasing in my opinion and i missed old version of Watson. Also this game was darker atmosphere wise.
I liked that apart from cases it has an overall story revolving his daughter. I love the fact that it is not hard to get all achievements on the first playthrough.
In conclusion, I liked this game, but C&P i liked more. :)

Sherlock Holmes

and the Case of How This Game Has a Lot of Good Elements But is Very Mid

The first case started strong, but as the game went on it felt slightly tedious, so much of the game is spent on not deducing, but puzzle mini-games. I think the developers knew that the puzzle mini-games might be annoying to some, so they made them skip-able, but I feel like if every one of them was skipped, the game would be cut short by at least a third. Another frustrating part was that puzzles and deduction information seemed very arbitrary. For example a mechanism where you had to deduce the sequence of things that happened, but some of the events could have arguably happened simultaneously and there isn't a mechanism that lets Sherlock point you to the right direction, so you just have to manually reset all 13 items again. Some of the solves also seem arbitrary, there's not a lot of solid evidence in this game towards the end, I think red herrings in detective fiction should send them on a wild goose case, leading to a somewhat dead end, the game doesn't really do that, towards the end often it ends up being a "most probable" leap of faith, but I feel like that doesn't stick to the original's phrase "When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." There's nothing to rule out the others except vibes.

And the ENDING OMG (I don't really spoil the plot, just spoiling the plot device).
The ending being in a dream sequence that just literally ends the game as a dream sequence made me so frustrated. You built up so much of this story line then decide to have it play out in a dream sequence? Just to end it there? It was so weird having the character of Sherlock suddenly suspend disbelief when crazy stuff happened, but also having a game with a plot device that has moral decisions. There wasn't even a post-dream-sequence where that dream sequence informed your real life choice.

My main issue with this game is sometimes feels so guided, which is fine, a way to make players feel like Sherlock Holmes is to give them Sherlock's super-powers, but then there are puzzles suddenly you had thousands of possibilities with almost no guidance and IMO arbitrary answers.

I find the game to be too linear. Could be wrong expectations since this was my first Sherlock Holmes game.

لعبة جميلة و ممتعة

Not Worth It. The Prequel had great optimization but this one was having a lot of frame drops and stutters so it ruined my experience.

Game has great graphics but the optimisation is not that great.
Most of the puzzles are genuinely fun while some are just too long - killing the flow of the game.
The story/the cases is what stuck me through to finish the game and it was definitely worth it.
If You're anything into the Sherlock Holmes universe this is a no brainer.
Otherwise pretty good adventure/detective game so I recommend to pick up on sale.
If I had to give this game a rating it would be a solid 7/10.

The old creepy Sherlock was ditched in favor of a young Jon Hamm lookalike, but other than that, this is probably the best game in the series (out of the ones I've played at least). It has the best of both of the previous games: separate cases as well as an overarching story. I could've done without the stealth segments though

This game to me strikes quite near "the middle".... that intangible, grey hard-to-describe layer in the middle.....
Is it a terrible game? no.... it's well enough made, did not encounter any big issues and the elements are there.....
It is just that it doesn't click.... in any way really..... If we take it as a fully journey.... it most definitely doesn't add up, no progression, barely any growth to see, no anything...... If we take it as individual cases..... things are just all over the place, a pseudo explorable mini individual universe that just feels barren and void.
Some of the puzzles (honestly very very few of those, i have finished the game and can only think of two....) can be more on the entertaining side, actual thought process and interpreting your surroundings...... but most of the game is a lot of random guessing without any solid element to back it up...... just made up of some trial & error.... and repeating until getting "the right way"...... same with cases definition & portraits.... with very few exceptions, there's a lot of unjustified guessing and simply getting the "right conclusion" or not based on that composition

I was encouraged to play this and even got some recommendations comparing this to the wolf among us.... well, it ain't nothing like it. No build-up.... no tension..... no investment.... nothing

Didn't enjoy this one much

I wanted to play a detective game not an action game. The last mission felt very weird in a "real life" setting

if you like games like the walking dead or the wolf among us then this is a yes

This has to be one of my absolute favourites out of the series.

I love how they expanded on crimes and punishments, adding new mechanics, a semi explorable world, and just a lot more to do! Again these games do get quite tedious but that adds to the life of sherlock holmes.

I really love the underlying story throughout this one, it's spooky in the best way!! Definitely give this one a try, it had me laughing a lottt and had me so excited to get through each case. Definitely a must if you love investigative games!

Another great Sherlock Holmes game!

Sherlock Holmes: Devils Daughter is a good adventure game, but not in my favorite detective games.

Devil's daughter is a continuation of the Frogwares Sherlock Holmes series. It fits comfortably in the mixed category of detective games, containing both detective themes, and detecting mechanics. You play as Holmes and some associates, solving 6 varied crimes around London.

This formula worked well for me in the previous game, Crimes and Punishments. Here however, something didn't click for me. I found the action sequences, especially the Indiana Jones section to significantly outstay their welcome. I also found many of the deductions to make much less sense than in previous games, requiring a lot more just guessing.

It's still a solid game, but between this installment and Crimes and Punishments, I prefer the latter's focus more on the detecting, and not on stealth sections or tomb raiding.

If you want a more adventure heavy games with some detecting in the mix, this should be a great game for you!
