I love puzzle games and this one is definitely a good game. The story was nice and the cases are awesome. I just would have liked more interactions with the dog.

A solid rework released 2 years after Crimes and Punishments from 2014. More freedom to explore as you can street roam which equals better immersion, also minigames turned into real, longer game mechanics. Lots of cool locations - Baker Street, Scotland Yard police station, poor district, roofs, villa forest, Boules club, blacksmith, hospital, archeologist house, temple, taverrn, monastery, sewers, cementery, boat. Graphics seem more realistic, but lost some of the previous game’s charm. I wasn't enjoying sneaking parts. It crashed once, which is a 10 times better compared to the last game. I still liked Crimes and Punishments more, but this was pretty decent! :)

It isn't perfect, but as someone who loves the character "Sherlock Holmes," I think it does a great job scratching the itch of detective work without being too hard to follow. Unlike other of Frogwares Sherlock games, I did not have to look up how to progress a quest in this game. Although I did need to get a little help with a puzzle here and there. (skill issue on my part.) This is a good middle ground to the two other games I have played so far, Chapter One and one of their older games. I wished more of the cases were more interwoven with each other, but I can appreciate that they were trying something different. What I have grown to appreciate about these games is that there are still the core gameplay mechanics throughout the games, yet each one has it's own unique twist. In this case, (pun intended) the game was divided into "cases". Overall, It is great if you like puzzle games that are a little open world. Even in this newer game, some of the puzzles still give the retro-detective puzzle vibe that people who play these games like. I could critique the game all day, But it is best for people to just appreciate the game for what it is and go for the story ride. :)

I could not enjoy it. It feels like an old console game, with bad clunky controls, lots of QTAs and the only parts that could be fun which would be the detective QTAs are short and dont let you really enjoy them. Other "puzzles" are basically stand in a place and push a button or stand in another place and push a button, even when you know what your character should do already. Not for me sadly. It should have been a point and click game 100%

a weak addition to the series further marred by an unnecessary attempt at a soft reboot, devil's daughter tries to follow in the footsteps of crimes & punishments with varying success. i do think it's a fine and fitting addition to the franchise, but it is really nothing special and easily forgettable. the cases are far weaker than the former game, and there are some answers and puzzles that genuinely just do not make much sense (a deadly sin for any detective game). plus, i found the updated models which age sherlock and watson back about ~10 some years to be rather ugly and unappealing. still, there are some interesting turns of events throughout, and frogwares' attempts at humanizing sherlock do not fall completely flat. i actually enjoyed the ending as well, though i will note it all felt a bit rushed. play if you're a fan of the series, but you won't lose out on much if you decide to skip it.
