Review of The Testament of Sherlock Holmes by Devilfish

Fans of the series will definitely like this one. Beautiful and very interesting locations (including one fans have visited before). Three choices of perspective is a great addition to the series, but did lead to some pixel-hunting in my case. I preferred to play in first person POV but had to switch to third person on several occasions to find clues. Sherlock’s “sixth sense” is a good idea in theory but didn’t work in practice.

Clever framing device for the story, and a decent mystery, although not as deep or involved as the other games in the series. The ending seems to come out of nowhere, but I found it satisfying. Definitely recommend it, especially if you enjoyed the previous games.
