Great use rich story

1. Story
The story is really great, captivating from beginning to end. Great staging of scenes and cutscenes. It will be exciting to actually short-circuit the unpredictable and therefore all the time.
Furthermore, the adventure with many surprising twists waits and remains credible.
There are also many allusions to re older SH-parts that will please connoisseurs series.

The FSK16-classification is justified, you get horribly disfigured corpses to face and overall the theme but very mature and serious.

5/5

2. Puzzles
The deduction is again tricky, as it did with previous parts, but is facilitated by convenience functions.
This set back the most extensive and the most difficult puzzle.
Here there are some small logic gaps, where some connections simply can guess (or me has become the underlying logic closed?).
For me, the criminal connections were in some places at least not obvious.
By some counseling and comfort function but could be anything but solved in a reasonable time.

There are also a variety of more or less difficult mini-games if you want to crack a combination lock for example.
There is also the possibility as a stopgap Räsel to skip, if you should not get stuck.

Overall, there are many of these mini-puzzles, which I would classify all but only easy-moderate in severity. But in the present part of it goes eh more about the great story that you would probably only interrupted by long puzzle chains.
Nevertheless, worth mentioning because I think pure Räselfetischisten were a bit disappointed here.
Therefore, from me it here a star deduction.

4/5

3. Gameplay
There are many convenience features that you miss at other representatives of the adventure genre.
- 3 selectable controls (first-person perspective and Followers with WASD control, top view point and cklick control..)
the only downside is that the camera is not pivot freely, so sometimes you have to switch between perspectives as an otherwise miss important information.
- Deduction has been simplified, you have right solution pairs found, they are marked as correct
- Display of interaction (limited but normally on the nearby environment, a bit of searching you have so still)
- Free Save

4. Graphics
Very chic graphics, detailed character models where you can even see the facial expressions.
The only drawback, in my opinion, something very high hardware requirements. But I will not be conclusively assessed, since you some graphic effects like particles or their hardware tessellation hunger not necessarily look.
The level of detail of the textures and character models is at SH any case very well, but I found the performance on my system for the poor distance vision (most just a room, now and then a street) a little bit.
With a current middle-class computer (Radeon 6000 series from Nvidia or from 200 series), the game should be playing at high to very high details.
With my already aged computer (NVIDIA GTX275) is sufficient for max. Details, even if it is even now and then a break below 30fps.
5/5

5. Sound
There are very good voice actor at work, the background music captures the mood of the scenes a class.
5/5

6. Copy
Because again some rant against this, a short statement about this:
Yes, there is a copy protection that requires a one-time registration via Internet.
While playing no permanent internet connection is required.
The game can be 5 times regis animals, ie max. Installing 5 computers simultaneously. Where you can have seconds and codes when you can, for example, to prove that you several times the computer had to re-set up. Also it will probably automatic every 90 days. a new activation in addition.
An overall very moderate copy protection that allows a resale. Compared to the competition (Steam, Origin) a very good way, because you have to understand also the manufacturer who wishes to protect his Game somehow against piracy.

Conclusion:
A really strong part series with really only very small weaknesses, but also do not interfere.
I wish I would have given 4.5 stars.
Since it is not, there is the full 5!
