This game deserves more publicity.... Much more...
Inside Gaming have been publicising the shit out of it!
It's on PSN+ for March, it's sorta why I came to look for a review.
It's that good
First review I have seen of your (first video of yours in fact). And I must say that you lay it out very well and support each conclusion in a very effective and cognitive way. I will be subscribing
Thanks a lot! I hope you have been enjoying the rest of the content form the channel since you joined us :D
been thinking about playing this game, just wasn't sue how it would feel. your review has laid many of those to rest. having "video game ADD" as my friends put it, it is difficult to find and stick with a single game sometimes....so we'll see
Hello all, I wrote this review and would like to thank you for the comments so far. Please keep doing so as I will check back to resolve any confusion or discuss the game more if interested :D
Hello, no, you didn't.
@@juancho5864 I'm afraid I did, sorry!
@@PiratPeter oh. How you could!? 😮
@@juancho5864 that's a question for the Great Detective to deduce! :D
@@PiratPeter 🤣🤣🤣👍
I've been playing it, I've had quite a jolly bit of fun with it, and as a fan of the original work of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, this game does a good job putting you into the world of Sherlock Holmes. It's such a shame that Devil's Daughter seems to have strayed back away from what made this game great :( This game is the standard which the developers should base future games off of.
a 6/8? kind of a weird rating system.
+CriticalHardware Might as well, its like using a 4 star rating system that uses half star increments.
+CriticalHardware more like 5/7 amirite
Yea but i would probably rate this a potato/4$
Still an odd rating system.
Got it with Games with Gold and I completed it. This game is SO GOOD.
Wow, one of the best reviews i have seen in a while!! Keep up the good work. :)
Not at all sure if i liked this better than the last one. The puzzles were way more challenging there compared to C&P, tho I did like opening locks in this one :) I liked the variety of characters n specially stories + numerous different endings. The testament was differend but in a good way. I liked how they used sherlock's potential on a sorta villainish kinda way, what with the very cold,manipulative and narsistic style not so far from his character features in the books, even tho in the end it was about a bigger picture,which was this one big story building the whole game up. I was left with one question tho with C&P..what was up with our former female wrestler looking at our window from start till end?? At first i thought it'd be related to one of the cases but only got that short amusing moment in the end? :P
Im glad sherlock made the jump to nextgen
Its funny reading this a full 5 years later just after Unreal 5 release
Surely the most famous interrogations are from Phoenix Wright, not LA Noire.
Games with gold brought me here. I'll definitely check it for free.
Same
Same
same
+sinatre34 its good it feels like la noire with new longer cases with much better mechanics
+sinatre34 Same here haha
They should put more notorious villains in these games
Well Jack The Ripper's pretty damn notorious
Who else is here because it just was release for free on ps plus 👌?
but ps asia don't give free for this game :'(
***** and then you realize that it is only for the ps3 hahaha bummer !
Its DaKingJr wow when was it on PS+ for free? I just bought it on steam but it was a flash sale for 9.99 so I'm not mad, the game is amazing
A year later for Xbox
+SquirtleTime yes but we will get the Xbox one version the ps + members only got it on the PS3
Very detailed review!thank you!.
i dont know much about sherlock holmes but i am intrested in a good detective game since i played la noir.
so my question is good even for guys like me that dont know anything about sherlock holmes?
Actually I would think so! They really livened up the character from the slightly less exciting and more reserved Holmes in previous games. The mysteries are easy to follow if you know where to look for clues and how to navigate your case files, which I am sure would be the case even if the game didn't feature Sherlock Holmes!
Feel like this is the game LA Noire should have been
Broken Sword, whoop! I'm buying it for that reference alone.
Loving your game reviews guys, keep it up :) I've heard good things and bad things about this one. RPS said it was rubbish :x
Man i enjoy this game so much!! Anytime I wanna test my critical thinking and puzzle solving skills, I know I can always count on a Sherlock Holmes game to make it work.
Just subbed, great review of a game I didn't know existed, I wanna play this now!
Who is here in 2020....to see is this is worth trying or who is planing to Buy The New Sherlock Holmes Chapter one Game, which is coming on 2021.
I just started to play it and I love it!
You'll love this
This seems like a well-thought out and informative review, but perhaps too informative. I think part of a good review is minimizing the amount of new content being shown, i.e. spoiled, that can support the voiceover. It's kind of an art form, the same goes with movie trailers, it's counterproductive to give away or show too much of the movie before seeing, especially if the review is good and you're likely to see it. I was forced to skip 90% of this review because part of the fun of the game is in the content being fresh. For example, it's fine to show Holmes walking down a generic foggy street as much as you want, but don't giveaway the introduction to the interior of the Baker St. apartment, it's rich, unique content specifically to be enjoyed by Holmes fans during a playthrough.
***** Fair enough I understand, but it also goes towards my point when even the game studio's judgment is to perhaps include too much, e.g. Baker St. apartment interior - it's a popular criticism of all trailers.
That's why I skip all the way to the end and just see the verdict. Nowadays movie and game trailers give away too much so I actively avoid them
Your scale only goes up to eight?
leave him, he is a hipster
I didn't like it as much as The Testament of Sherlock Holmes, it lacks the immersiveness of a complete story, it's just disparate cases involving a bit of logic, but none of the background stories manage to stand out as particularly interesting.
Came here because this is Games for Gold in March. Looks good and the price will be right!!!
Just downloaded this free on Ps+
Hope it's great
It is
Just found this on my download list, so I thought I'd see some reviews whilst its downloading. Hopefully I'll enjoy it!
did you?
@@someone-wo5nu can't you read? Come on you br@t!
I'm so getting this game.
Hey guys.. Don't check out Sherlocks' telescope.. Just sayin' lolol I just made that mistake!
I've done it twice
Is this game anything like L.A. Noire? Loved that game really interested in this one
My top 5 game of all time, L.A. Noire was amazing.
I love investigation games like la noire. So i just wondering, is this game any good? Please reply ASAP. Thank you
Game is great better than LA Noire a detective game that is more pure.
good review i am a fan of the Sherlock games. i was not gonna get this one ,but after seeing the review i might halft to rethink and go buy it on steam
halft?.. really?..
and your problem is?
no problem, just pointing out your problem of not understand whats a word and whats not. makes you look very intelligent.
i am dyslexic so i spell words wrong you should get i life instead off trolling people that have posted up somtehing 2 years ago it just makes you look like an ass
its in a public forum and i just saw it so its new to me.. also, dyslexia does not cause you to spell every word right except 1. its not as if you just spelled it wrong, you took "have" and "to" and put them together but you spelled it like "half". you think when people say "i have to go to the store" you think they're saying "i halft to go to the store".. thats just simply retarded.. if you really are dyslexic, then im teaching you not to be. you're welcome ya tard..
Good review, right up until you totally spoiled the outcome of the first case. =(
Ack! Sorry about giving something away- I didn't mention any suspects or the clues that led me to a 'better' conclusion, so there's still the important stuff to discover by actually playing. And if you do push on beyond the first apparent conclusion, you still have to discover and choose between the other options. No video shown i the review goes beyond 50% of the first 50% of cases intentionally to not show anything that would spoil the game :)
he didn't spoil it, he just said that at the beginning of the case u will find a suspect who appears to be the culprit and u get the choice to accuse him but u can continue to get more evidence......... he didn't say who that suspect was and he didn't say whether at the end that suspect would still be accused or not
Hey guys, about to buy this game but I have just 1 question. Does the game involves solving many cases or just ONE case?
If I can remember rightly it follows the same format as the other Holmes games and gives you about 6 cases to solve.
only six cases ?..
free on PS+
75% sale on Steam. Time to buy it.
Mohammad Abu Ata Should i get it ?
You really should, I mean it's 9.99$ for a limited time. Then it's back to 39.99$ I say that's a huge investment.
Mohammad Abu Ata Salam. Will do.
Mohammad Abu Ata yup I got it, was on my wishlist as soon as i saw 9.99 i bought it, no regrets. game is super fun
OneButton Dash Same, I've been hearing great things about this game, but 40 bucks it's not worth it. And along came the Steam Daily Deals.
should I get this
It's free with gold now so I am definitely going to get it!
hmm... was debating whether or not to download this... have many other games being played, just started Black Flag. it is free and i did like LA Noire, i suppose i will at least DL it but probably wait til i finish AC4 to try it
sherlock holmes game is free on ps plus, not black flag... my wording may have been unclear.
on psplus it was. i tried it, decided it wasn't worth my time, pretty sure i deleted it.
i would have recommended not buying it at all, better games out there your money could go towards
+wzx33 same thing i thought, gives that Noire feel to it. and that game was a breath of fresh air when it came out. i don't think it will top it of course, but i do enjoy the game's style. plus its under 20 bucks now...definitely worth the shot.
At 3:58 sherlock becomes poirot !!! Lol! Shercule poiromes!!!
Great review!
games for gold?
Good review. Will check the game out.
I was a bit disappointed when I saw the box art and discovered that it was nothing like the game at all. And that goddamned 3rd case made zero sense.
how about crimes and punishments cod?
6/8 wtf?
Thank you so much for a good review, i saw another one that i could not bare to watch more then half, cracking "jokes" all the fucking time, speaking like a coke addicted. You are great tho!
Just downloaded it but I'm finding it really frustrating.. It seems like it requires a lot of patience.. Honestly, I'd rather play The Wolf Among Us..
Is this any better than LA Noire?
nope.
Good review, keep it up
Great game, played it out last week. I"m now downloading Magrunner, another game of Frogwares.
Game looks great but idk if I want to spend $60. Maybe I'll stop by GameStop or something.
2 weeks later and it's free for ps plus lol
ChattyGamer I know downloading now, can't wait 2 play Playstation plus is so worth the subscription 😁
is this a open world game?
***** Who gives a shit? It's an adventure game.
TheDominitri why are you so angry to someone asking/answering a simple question.
***** You answered his question and then went out of your way to shit on the game.
TheDominitri How is informing someone that there are alot of invisible walls be shitting on the game..
TheDominitri Guy asks if it's open world, Whats the opposite of open world? Invisible walls everywhere. Why are you so mad and aggressive douche.
why is this game only £7.99P
Norway!! 5:02 :D
Looks like a pretty old map, you were probably a Swedish colony back then. :D
Anonymous Anon yeah, but look at Sweden now, we are richer then them, we have more power then them, and we could shred their army to pieces if we wanted too
This will be fun I'm tired of destiny farming
Why do you keep describing things as "easy"? Is that something you look for in a game?
I am actually an enthusiast fan of Holmes and I'm really excited for this game, but you make it seem as if there isn't really any real decision-making, but just a linear following of the game story-line.
I am confused
Excellent review!
But I'm concerned that they may have made the game too easy.
As you say, the game often holds your hand, and that's not really what
I like.
I'd like a hardcore Holmes game that you wouldn't be able to finish, unless you were brilliantly smart.
In other words, a game that allowed you to work a case from start to finish, WITHOUT any help whatsoever.
I'll still get this one, though.
is it free roam?
Afraid not. You get the freedom to explore the whole crimes scenes at your leisure and you can jump between locations at will, but no free roam. The rate at which they improve this series, maybe next time?
Im so jelous that american ps plus has a free sherlock holmes game. y u dis ASIA !
Anyone here cos it's free on PS+?
i'm 4 months late but yes i am
+Shah Bhuiyan lol
***** check the date i posted this comment, Jesus Christ
edwin32086 the games rotates after every month, but if you added the games to your library in that timeframe you can play the games whenever you want as long as you have a active ps+ subscription going.
never used it, but yeah its a nice deal. us pc gamers pay full price..but if you are smart you wait until a sale and get it for like 80 percent off lol
6 out of 8? You mean 7 out of 10
sounds like hand holding and a game designed to help you feel smart when you actually aren't.
Too easy! Got everything perfect...
Great game!!
Out of 8? you monster!
How came here because games for gold
Not trying to be rude to English people or anyone but of course a English person would get this game
snooze*
reminds me of l.a noir
***** never played it, just seen walkthroughs but buy the look of us this yes l.a noir is better
***** i wish i played it back then
Lol wtf? L.a Noir better...lmfao
Darkythefox 100 the detective feel to it.
Ssj .Blurr That's what this game dose better.
So they basically made the game easier for generation ADHD?
o hi
Needs a lot of fixing. Watson keeps getting in the way, the puzzles are not connected to the story or case at all, every time you click on something Sherlock points out the obvious and most of the time doesn't connect with anything. Plus it's very annoying to have to look for everything you apparently "missed" so you look for it for an hour and it ends out to be an object that has nothing to do with the case. I'd give this game a 6/10. I understand what they tried to do. They could have made better improvements. the overall structure of the game has potential. But seriously, the game annoyed me more than I actually enjoyed solving cases.
Watson blocked me in a place once. I had to restart
Fucking hell! Spoiler alert!!
reminds me of la noire. It looks boring.
What a shame, this isn't a game for me :/ If it didn't hold your hand 90% of the way thru I would pick it up but a game that tells you what you need to do isn't a challenge and isn't as rewarding enough for me.
6/8 best of its genre?:S wtf?
Yeah, odd conclusion, isn't it? I was being very specific about the genre > Crime games (with more of a focus on clues and dialogue than action). Also the out of 8 score is in perspective of videogames in general. Crime games with a focus on thinking really aren't everyone's cup of tea.
Free on PS+ right now.
Downloading. Looking forward to it
