This game was a delight to play. Intriguing Mysteries to solve, Good enough visuals, Decent Music to fit the environments, Great voice acting for the most part, and a very unique gameplay feel.
This is the definitive Sherlock experience in my eyes, with just enough freedom to shape the story yourself in both gameplay and story.

I have my complaints like the puzzles being a bit simpler, the sort of casual hand holding the game does, and the absolute annoying minigames that randomly pop up however I think the puzzles and hand holding works in its favour in this case.
The simplicity of it offers a new audience of people who are afraid to explore the genre of puzzle games a great starting point and hopefully lead to them trying more complex games in the future. It also allows fans of Sherlock Homes the ability to experience the IP a lot easier.
I did notice that when playing on PlayStation 5 some shadows tended to freak out a lot, when switching to my PS4 the shadows did not have that issue
