Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments (XONE) (Video Game)

Customer Review

Free detective game are unfortunately very scarce on consoles! I was and am a big fan of LA Noire. But this game is already a few years old. Looking for another investigator game I became aware for the Xbox One at Amazon on Sherlock Holmes. And I must say that game is really great !! First, the graphics and the detail is to be emphasized! It is designed very visually appealing. One feels immediately empathised in the world of Sherlock Holmes! There are a total of 6 cases that need to be solved. There are for each case always a "right" solution, on the one but not necessarily come. We find many references (this depends of course on how carefully you look!) And these notes, which are presented as the synapses of Sherlock Holmes, one must then independently interpret and put together. There are always several ways of case / murder may have expired. Then one can choose a variant, you have to live with it! ;-) At the end of If you can decide if you want to know what has been the right decision. But you do not look for commands. You can simply play the event again and choose another option. This really is very well done in the game, because you nothing executes stupid but thinking thinks and intense !! One wants to come to the correct conclusion. There are also many mini puzzles that are not easy (!), And Quick Time Events where you survive a fistfight or must shoot.
Sherlock Holmes has found in his office several ways during the cases. He is assisted by a newspaper archives, books and an experimental table. Everything finds its use! In addition, you can move and diverse fudge his character. Letters can also get Holmes, this adapt then, for what result it was decided in individual cases.
Holmes is a notebook available by all is important listed as current mission objectives, a map, people encountered, evidence, log of all conversations and so on.
In any questioning of persons, the person Holmes analyze, for example. whether she is young or wearing expensive things, is married or what peeping out from her bag etc. This knowledge can then be used in the survey against the person. However, the surveys are generally quite simple, LA Noire is there much more difficult. One criticism is that the facial expressions in this game is much worse than in LA Noire. The people, including Holmes, actually look the same. A major change can not be seen.
In addition, Holmes has the ability to perceive things at crime scenes, the other remains hidden. This requires that you press RB, it is always displayed when in the vicinity which can be found special. With LB can adjust (rare) events mentally.
The gameplay is sometimes awkward, but simple. From time to time Holmes moved namely a bit awkward and liked to remain times hanging on furniture or edges, because he can not jump or climb. So you have to always properly use the stairs and go to the predetermined path. Dramatically it is not.
The criticism that the game contains only German subtitles, but English language, I can not understand. It's so much more charming !! And in LA Noire, GTA5, Read Dead Redemption, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil and so this is just! The games work much better but with original sound. And the language here is really a simple English.
Overall, the cases of the Games are truly makes for an exciting, no one is boring !! The game is very well done. For fans of LA Noire or for fans of Sherlock Holmes or general mystery games I would recommend this game highly !!
