Why this game is still the 4 star value? The atmosphere is consistently filmreif and the authority Sherlock Holmes already established the extent that your actions always brings with it the appropriate scope:
Your word carries weight and so not only your 'razor sharp' mind is asked but also their morale as players.
Beispielsweie I have caught for hours cases to analyze and weigh up where I have already uncovered all left by the game notes. It is this decision-making power is the greatest strength of the game and even comforts me as Adventure veterans, who grew up with titles like Monkey Iceland, on the casualised gameplay time.
Why Crimes & Punishments but ultimately not as good as it could have been for me is in its missed opportunity: Consequently, the developers had the game may not develop in episode form. The agency invites just one to try out all the possibilities of the game. This functionality is also provided generous, at the end of each case, you can revise your decision, if it was wrong or not-satisfactory. While this is very pleasant (Who wants to seriously again gather all the evidence? #casual), But makes its decisions at the same time extremely irrelevant. So the end of each case is also anti-climatically, a coherent story could have prevented this, and would have given their decisions more relevant.
One should here but bear with the developers have (keyword: causality chain), but I would appreciate this feature in future games in the series very much.
Technically the game is flawless, the graphics and sound design make mood and the English voice acting is implemented perfectly.
This is not a German language edition available like some reviewers here have a shortcoming - and in fact I would see if you had just read subtitles. However, this problem is more likely at the other end of the computer.
The English voice heard in a Sherlock Holmes title simply to miserable speaker with a British accent were never particularly Stilecht!
Conclusion: Welcome to Baker Street! A strong buy recommendation for everyone, this game is not only (and especially) for adventure fans a welcome change!
