Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments

I want to recommend this. I really do. At best, it's /fine/, but more realistically it's /ok at best/. So you want a detective adventure game. You're not caring about actual character development, or likeable characters, or anything: then sure, you are going to get none of that with this. It's not something you'd expect, and you're not going to find yourself crying at the end (see: The Blackwell Quintet). So you want the ability to need to think about your deductions: this seems to hit that point! each of the 6 (4 decently fleshed out + 2 really quick) cases has multiple conclusions which you reach by deciding certain points do or do not hold. This is pretty great - the deduction and mystery in this sort of game quickly fall down when a game is so linear it tells you that your suspicion of some character is clearly unfounded not through analysis, but simply by the game deciding that character is not investigable...but then it falls down: okay, I can suspect this character, but how does anything else I deduced make sense? There is a "correct" option for each case, but at every single one of them I either a) had a rock solid case that someone else could've done it (and I can accuse them, and get an "incorrect" result) or b) it's vague /at best/. Perhaps I only had a single piece of evidence this other person was /even involved/ with the case. Perhaps I had 5 pieces pointing to another character. I sometimes could accuse this other character, but I would be technically wrong. If you've finished the game - the train case, the kew gardens case, even the lord case. God I want a decent detective adventure game, and this is firmly OK at best...it feels like it avoids the linear, singular solution with one singular solution (something e.g. LA Noire, despite all its faults, did manage)...until you finish the case with the "correct" option and then the game goes "wahoo you guessed correct despite every other option being equally likely and there being no explanations of every other thread in the case". That's a hard barrier to cross, and most of the other games solve it by making the characters likeable or the puzzles fun (I rtealise I've not spoken of the puzzles -- they are not at all fun. At best they are okay, at worst tedious to rage inducing).

为什么望远镜里面有个波刚

Sherlock Holmes'ün dizi/film ve kitaplarından aşina olduğumuz o çatlak dahi dedektif karakteri, oyunda oldukça iyi yansıtılmış; bunu oyuna girer girmez de fark ediyorsunuz. Yeri geliyor bir kimyagerin titizliğiyle deneyler yapıyoruz, yeri geliyor bir çilingir, bir cambaz, hatta adli tıp uzmanı gibi her işe koşturuyoruz; elimizden her iş geliyor :D Genel kültürümüzü ve zekamızı konuşturup olayları çözüme kavuştururken, bulmacaların çeşitliliği sayesinde oyun bir an bile tempoyu düşürmüyor. Zaman zaman diğer karakterlerin yerine geçebilmek de atmosfere ayrı bir renk katmış; özellikle polisin yerine geçip Sherlock’la saklambaç oynadığımız o komik sahnede oyunun ciddiyetinin bir anda dağılması beni bayağı güldürdü. Dava çözmek için kılık değiştirip şüphelileri sorgulamak, kanıt toplamak için rol yapmak falan derken dedektifliğin hakkını sonuna kadar veriyoruz. Kısacası Sherlock ruhunu iliklerine kadar hissetmek isteyen birinin kesinlikle şans vermesi gereken bir oyun olmuş.

Can't progress in the game as it keeps crashing huhu.

If you're a bit of Holmes fan like myself, you'll love this gem! If, on the other hand, you're new to all things Sherlock Holmes, then I can say that it is worth the price. Just make sure, and this includes all you Holmes fans, that your PC/laptop specs meet the minimum at least. If it meets the max, though, then huzzah! From graphics to the ability to OBSERVE the way Holmes observes, I can't help but be without words! It's what every Holmes fan has dreamed of. Oh, and you have extensive use of dear ol' Toby! The one thing I don't like about this game, though, is the lack of cases. And I am talking about canonical cases! Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a total of 60 stories! That'd be 4 novels and 56 short stories. I'd rate this game 8.7/10!

这游戏看实况就好了，打九折可以买。达成成就有点要求，看了攻略又回来重新打一遍案件，很多情节根本不知道要干什么，任务指引指向性很弱，特别是火车案件和浴场案件，这点比较恼人。

原创的案件写得还不错，人物特征速写也很有原著的味道，但是问题太多。建模落后这个姑且不说，其他的问题也很难忍。 1、极其容易卡死，重灾区是空格键查看结论和结案切换下一案的时候，第五个案件里已经到了切换地点都可能严重卡死只能重启的程度了 2、会修改电脑的分辨率 3、引导很差，很多小游戏不知道怎么玩全靠摸索 4、交互也差，有时候明明已经看到线索但就是触发不了，需要反复走来走去才能碰到那个触发点，比如第二案里的车辙 5、人物经常走着走着就不动了，甚至也没有卡到什么死角，我刚进入游戏的时候用了将近十分钟才让福尔摩斯走起来。 6、其他小游戏都能跳过情况下，第四案的双人协作不能跳过，不知道是否致敬古墓丽影，但我确实在这里卡了很久。如果不给跳关非要玩家自己通关，那能不能给个俯视图辅助？帮人帮到底懂？ 7、有一个明显具有中国背景的人物在带英搞鸦片和毒品试验，属实是加害人倒打一耙 总之体验很糟心，纯粹是因为不能退钱又想通关而且是原著粉才玩下去的，如果有人对里面剧情感兴趣云一下就行了，完全没必要浪费这个钱
