Sherlock Holmes Chapter One Review - The Final Verdict
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 ноя 2021
- For every one thing Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One does right, it misses the mark in another department by a solid margin. Witnessing the backstory of the detective is an enchanting prospect, but it is heavily marred down by technical inefficiencies and poor pacing.
The combat is markedly better than prior entries, but it also gets stale pretty quickly. The isle of Cordona houses a ton of mysteries to crack, although you might just get bored doing the same things over and over again long before there aren't any markers to chase on the map.
I never thought I'd hear the words "Sherlock", "Combat System" and "Bandit Lair" in a review.
Why no mention that players who want to do only the detective stuff in the game have the option to turn off combat in the game's options?
That's possible? If you do turn it off, will you miss something?
Good to know, I’ll look into this more. Not sure I am interested in combat in a Holmes game.
@@Tamisday i mean sherlock is quit the combatant.
@@clownroshi3566 he is, it’s just not what I’m interested in though when it comes to games based on the property. Especially not if it’s poorly implemented.
@@Tamisday fair point. Maybe in the next sherlock game frogwares can improve combat. This is already 10x better than the sinking city's combat.
8 dollars for both this and Sinking City on Xbox sounds like a steal to me!
I just bought this bundle, 8$ seems like a fantastic deal.
These games are pretty fun. I enjoy Frogware jank.
It Will become an underrated game in the future
Or maybe not... but who knows? It's only the first chapter afterall.
All of these games in the series are. Just like every other release in the modern day….wait for a sell.
Just like every game
I was looking forward to this game
I have barely finished the game, tackled almost none of side activities, let me review It.
What an amazing game this was, I could tell the amount of time and love put into it by the devolpers and I really wish they would of made the next one open world like this one was but people complain too much and ruin everything. It took me about 4 days to beat the game and all the side quests. This game is now on my list of favorite games of all time and I will for sure play through it again.
That grey color is horrible how are you supposed to see anything
Got it for like 85% off of the PlayStation store in April. I enjoyed the game, but I wouldn’t pay $60-70 for it. Combat wasn’t horrible once I got used to it. Overall I would give it an 8.5/10
How about an actual novel adaptation? It's an open formula idly laying around right now, that no one is using.
I suppose the problem with that is that in a mystery game, if you adapt the existing novels/short stories, everyone already knows how each mystery plays out.
@@Lunettarose Two cases in Sherlock Holmes Crimes and Punishments were directly adapted from the source material, Murder of Peter Carey and The Abbey Grange Affair.
Those two cases also happen to be the most linear and unambiguous cases in the game. Even if you haven't read the original story there isn't much wiggle room for alternative explanations to really make the player struggle, as opposed to the other cases in the game.
@@weed75black35 I know, I recognised them both pretty much immediately, and found it very formulaic since I knew the answer from the get-go (hence my reply to @Kashish). I couldn't say really whether they were restrictive if you'd not read the original short stories, but I will take your word for it!!
@@Lunettarose They were, compared to the other cases. Them being direct adaptions of linear stories meant it's harder to integrate the deduction mechanic into the gameplay.
I just can't get over how 'modern' these character look for a Sherlock Holmes game. Does it take place in the 1890s or the 2020s?
Fun fact: the world wasn't lower quality in the past XD
@@NovaStrike118 😂😂
@@NovaStrike118 ikr 😂
I thought everything was in black and white 😂
Wait until you play it. They've even ruined it with our modern woke sensibilities. There's a they in it that somehow passes as a man amongst yachtsmen
I got this in the sale and am enjoying it so far. i loved the BBC drama so that's why I got it. Is the DLC Season pass worth getting? I see that it's 40% off but am not sure if it's worth buying. I love the character design and voice acting in this game, I think they did a great job. The only thing I did not like was the crappy combat system
Yes, I advise you to buy dlcs, although it would have been more affordable if you had bought the deluxe edition
Tell me about your experience with the game. Is it more hours of play compared to the sinking city?
@@jamesmccaffrey6596 I ended up buying just the game on sale, but didn't get the DLCs. I finished it and also got the platinum trophy, I really enjoyed it. My total hours doing all cases and getting the plat was 25 hours, more volume than C&P and devils daughter. I definately want to get the awakened remake game. Also no annoying QTE's like the previous games which was great. I highly recommend it. I have not played sinking city, but compared to the other two PS4 games it is much better. The only thing I hated was the battle system, other than that very fun game with improved gameplay to predecessors for sure
@Lava Yuki Thank you, I will buy the deluxe edition on sale which contains all the dlcs.
I gotta be honest, and I say this as someone who LOVES The Sinking City... The reviews have disappointed me for this. It looks like a miss step and I don't know how they did it when it looked so promising. I hope I'm wrong, when I cop it in a sale
76 on metacrtic not bad. It’s not a mid 50s game
Reviews on Steam are "very positive" and I personally loved it, along with most people who played it. You should try it for yourself and not listen to some negative ones - every game has those.
I'll cop it on a sale
Wait it already released!?
I want an 1) open world 2) non-linear 3) detective game with 4) No combat or action. (Well maybe some stealth I guess would be fine.) Can anyone help me?
Make it.
You can turn off combat in this game
You tried la noire
Disco elysium
Who is the publisher of this title I wonder 🤔 I remember they had issues with their previous Sherlock games
Frogwares
It's 8 bucks on PlayStation right now. That's why I'm here.
I played the other one and bounced off and ... sharing this is making me sleepy
Is this fun? Is it like L.A Noire?
No and no
Nah neither one. It's still a mess a year later as far as bugs. It's also a chore to play
This game snuck up on me!
i woul rather replay crkime and punishement
Sherlock games should be made by people who made LA Noire.
Bondi team GONE 😔🥺
Ask "lovely" people from Rockstar where are they now?!?
Wasted $20 on this lazy garbage. Ever since Crimes and Punishment these games have been awful
he looks like an emo kid
He's hot 🔥
Is this set in the 1960’s.. 😂 Think I’ll go back and play crimes and punishments.. Sorry this kind of looks awful.. don’t fuck with the formula..
Exactly, they could have put the development resources into perfecting the formula of the previous entries, sometimes more linear games are better because they drive the narrative better but every game wants to be GTA5 with their own spin now and the devs here have missed the mark, it never needed combat although I know it can be turned off, they could have made a real detective game but it just doesn't click, for me anyway, previous entries were better imo.
Why you guys put full minute of gameplay before anyone talk .. it's so annoying ... Im here to listen to the review not the playthrough.. please stop that you're better .. thank you
Bro it ok 😂
