Sherlock Holmes Chapter One

I’ve never played or interacted with any Sherlock Holmes media before, so take this review with a grain of salt and from the perspective of someone completely new to the franchise. Overall, I enjoyed my time with the game, but it’s definitely not perfect. There are things it does well and things that, in my opinion, hold it back. The main story is fine. It isn’t bad, but I found the side cases far more interesting than the whole “What happened to Mother?” plotline. The game offers a good variety of side cases, and some are surprisingly lengthy, which I appreciated. However, I have a major issue with the fact that this is a detective game, yet the progression feels extremely linear. The game often guides you step-by-step through a case, and only three cases actually let you solve a crime and identify the culprit yourself. Everything else leads to the same conclusion no matter what you do. I’m not sure if this is normal for the series since I haven’t played the older games, but I expected a modern Sherlock Holmes game to offer more freedom and deduction complexity, especially since this one has an open world. Speaking of the open world, I did enjoy exploring it at first. It’s beautiful, atmospheric, and fun to run around in. But by the time I hit the 30-hour mark, it started feeling repetitive. There isn’t much to do in the world besides traveling from point A to B, and it could have used more activities or incentives to explore beyond the missions. The combat, unfortunately, is awkward and clunky. There’s no real rhythm or sense of flow. It honestly feels like it was added at the last minute, and after two or three encounters, it becomes a slog. Where the game truly shines is in the variety of stories it tells. Even if the cases themselves are linear, uncovering each mystery is satisfying and fun in its own way. I also genuinely enjoyed the game’s slower pace. If you don’t like slow-burn experiences, though, I wouldn’t recommend this. Focusing only on the main objective will likely leave you disappointed, since the main storyline is both short and underwhelming compared to the side content. It's a 7/10 kind of game.

原创故事写得可以，算是加分。 但是，作为一个侦探游戏，要我去猜凶手，是很不合格的。 证据不足就继续去找啊，猜凶手是几个意思，大记忆恢复术是吧。证据链完整性还不如沉没之城，至少沉没之城里的案子都能找到明确的主犯。这下退步到罪与罚都不如的水平了。虽然罪与罚里也有猜凶手环节。 还有，别做你那破开放世界了，真的，不好玩，把主线案子写明白点吧。

I hate this game, more than the testimant of Sherlock Holmes. I can't figure out where to go without a guide. You are supposed to figure it out with a big map and no clues whatsoever. There doesn't seem to be any testing whatsoever. Even if I knew where i'm supposed to go after looking at a guide, I still can't figure out the connection. Not fun at all. Interesting ending, but not worth the payoff. I like 2 of the games in the series, but this was my least favorite one. It was a painful experience in the worst way possible

After 10 minutes I am done. Sherlock dresses and sound like a failed boyband member. John is pure cringe with his mentally painful mumbling and the game looks like a knock-off mafia game with the not needed open world

I sincerely found it fun. I've been playing through all of the Sherlock Holmes games, and I like the spin and vibe changes between them. I wanted a chill detective game and I got it. I thoroughly enjoyed the dive into a younger Sherlock who hasn't quite established himself, but is still rather brilliant. I thought the story between Sherlock, Jon and the island of Cordona was engaging. I understand some of the criticisms that others have shared if you are expecting a very specific "Sherlock-y" vibe, but I feel this "chapter" (pun intended), does end with Sherlock's resolve and confidence. It sets up this universe to build upon Sherlock's past. It's pretty well known in the lore of Sherlock that he has a complicated past and childhood that influences his sense of justice, his worries about his own mind, and his relationship with Mycroft and others, and the game goes into that a lot. I will say I just could not be bothered with either the combat or the treasure hunt. It just drove me crazy and I wasn't getting that good of a pay off from it anyways. But overall, i enjoyed both the main quest, the side quests, and the small tidbits about Sherlock's past.
