Our Verdict
Good
A solid adventure that is generally enjoyable, though it lacks enough polish or ambition to recommend without caution.
An enjoyable story-driven adventure steeped in the lore of Sherlock Holmes. It sacrifices too much gameplay for narrative at times, and its missed opportunities keep it from greatness, but it’s reasonably fun while it lasts.
