Beautifully remade with modern mechanics and gameplay
Great voice acting and music that sets the atmosphere
Additional side cases and some alterations to the original story
Very interesting story, everything is better with a bit of Cthulhu!
If you bump up the difficulty then you really have to think about what clues relate to each Mind Palace query

The game isn't as cryptic or gruesome as the 2007 original (in places)
There's no first-person mode
Some people may prefer the old puzzle-focused style over the more modernised 'deduction' mechanics
A lot of the 'silly' comments and dialouge were omitted from the game

Gameplay utilizes the best mechanics from the recent mystery adventure entries
The story, while heading in the original?s direction, is significantly different and engaging
Mini-games and puzzles provide a pleasing diversion from the core deduction process
Lots of customization for Holmes and Watson

Interesting mix of Cthulhu and Sherlock Holmes. Varied locations with plenty to explore. Combining clues to form deductions are as fun as ever.
Combing for clues in linear environments quickly becomes mundane. Lacks puzzles and challenge. Watson fails to freshen up the gameplay. Plenty of graphical quirks.
