An absolute jank of a game, it still exhibits a charm that is difficult to find in other games, especially in current gaming climate. It does have far too many puzzles that seem as random as the ones in Professor Layton (but much, much more difficult), but the actual detective and adventure parts are great, if sometimes inconsistent in its mechanics. It can be a little too dated in many ways, but it is still barely modern enough to be enjoyed with a bit of patience.

While I'm not too experienced with the famed detective, this is also one of my favourite versions of Sherlock Holmes as well, showing his ruthless side that is supported by the excellent voice acting done by Kerry Shale. Dr. Watson, on the other hand, is almost comically stupid, which balances the much darker rendition of Sherlock in a bizarre way.
