Short game at around 10 hours, but it was overall enjoyable. The writing and most mysteries and puzzles are quite good. If you get it cheap enough, that's all good.
There are some instances of weird logic that don't exactly seem to make sense (at least at first), but just interact with everything and you will get all that is needed to progress.
Some of the puzzles had me completely confused because the game often does not even give you the "question", basically you just get a puzzle with random numbers/buttons/whatever and 0 hints or infos about it so you just stare at it for 10 minutes until you actually understand what the problem you have to solve even is. But once you know what you are even supposed to do to solve it, most make sense and are straightforward, if some can be tedious.
There are problems with saves and getting the game to run on modern systems. Check the pcgamingwiki and follow the instructions there, then it should run flawlessly.
Also if you care for the achievements, make sure you never skip any puzzles, you have to solve them all in one continuous playing of the game.
Also there is the "Blackmailer" achievement which requires 3 specific dialogue choices at select times in the game, again it has to be in a continuous play.
Check guides for that if you care.

the game is so good, but the controls are a bit clunky like u can't move your character for like 10 secs after pressing something and the character is still slow and heavy even while running other than this the game is amazing i enjoyed it so much the story the plot the voice acting is so good and Idc about the graphics tbh but still wasn't that bad I only have problem with lip-syncing animation but I'm not expecting that much from 2012 game 8.5/10 game

Although the puzzles can be frustrating at times, this a very unique Sherlock Holmes story. You'll have to play it to see what I mean. I was impressed to find that this is a completely original story and not based on anything, which is the case for the rest of the series as well. I guess I'm just not used to good video game writing anymore

I was able to finish the game without any crashes! maybe because I have a potato pc at the moment :D
I found the gameplay mechanics a bit rigid in my opinion for a detective game, everything is almost focused on interacting with the environment with very little thinking and deduction.
The story is interesting and coherent but you have to try to finish the game quickly otherwise you lose the course of events.
There is a lot of puzzles too much maybe.. and sometimes they are frustrating and you don't understand what to do to advance without any hints..and if you dont want to use the concentration mode you will loose a lot of time, but overall it's not a big problem.
I liked this opus but clearly it's not the best of the series. 6/10
