Crimes & Punishments lets you become the greatest detective of all time, Sherlock Holmes! Solve six high-profile, gripping and varied cases: murders, disappearances, spectacular thefts and sensational cases will sometimes take you to the realms of the fantastic in this stunning game of investigation in the fine tradition of the Conan Doyle novels. Crimes & Punishments offers you a large degree of freedom to make moral choices that go beyond merely seeing that justice is done: your decisions have a real influence on the game both in terms of your character’s reputation and the consequences that arise in a realistic and sometimes unexpected way. Will you listen to your moral sense, or will you impartially enforce justice?

The best Sherlock Holmes game out there. The story is fantastic. The gameplay is polished except a few bugs. I think it's very underrated.
Redefiniu as mecânicas de jogos de detetive atuais e, sinceramente, pena que a história é brocha e não pega o que foi deixado pra trás pelo antecessor.
I actually like this new mechanics.
Hell of a moral quandary that no one thought was a quandary and didn't even really need moralizing, but damn if it didn't just get solved.
Forgot I played this game a long while ago. I got all the achievements too! Not sure why really, but it's a solid mystery/detective game. There's no combat or real action in this game, and is mainly just Sherlock going around and putting evidence together to solve a given case. You can then put together your solution of the case in Sherlock's head. The game doesn't actually tell you if your solution is right or not despite getting an ending finale cutscene for each case once you enter your solution. But you can reveal what the true answer is after watching said cutscene. May take a few playthroughs if you''re achievement hunting since some of them are missable (if you're not spoiling yourself in advance of the correct outcomes).
It was obvious this game was made on a budget as you play it, but they still worked with what they had to make a solid Sherlock Holmes game. If you need to scratch your detective/mystery itch, it might be worth a pickup for cheap.
Score: 81

Sherlock Holmes games don't have a big audience but I am all here for them after this one. It's fun to play.
