Title: Sherlock Holmes Chapter One
Post by: Data on July 13, 2021, 10:42:31 AM
Looking forward to this one, played all the Sherlock Holmes games up to now, a true mystery game to get the grey cells working.

Should be available sometime this year.

Chapter One concentrates on Sherlocks early spoofing carrier, how he became a detective and the mistakes he made on the way.

Built using the Unreal Engine 5.

I was looking at these too recently, I follow Frogwares on Facebook, they are in Ukraine, but are keeping positive and still working on their games at least.

That's all good then, we can help support Ukraine with gaming.

Havent played it as much as I would have liked, mostly because I haven't had much time to spend on it but I'm finding it harder than I was expecting, at times I've had to use google because I get stuck. That takes the shine off a tad.

Honestly I'm not gelling with it, it could be me though.

Okay, thanks; I still have to finish the Cthulhu game. I want to get another detective-type game. I was looking at the Devil's Daughter too.

Nevermind, I found they were one of those grey area sellers and are very often dodgy.

The Devil's Daughter is a good game, enjoyed it when I played it but yeah try to get it from a more reliable source.

Found it for auction on eBay, ends tomorrow, so I put £12.00 on it.  :fingers-crossed:

There are quite a lot of Sherlock Holmes games out there but a good place to start might be:

Sherlock Holmes - Nemesis

OK it's quite old now but the game play was pretty good as I remember and it gets you used to how the games work, should be pretty cheap now too, might be worth looking into.

Another is Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments, it's considered by many to be the best Sherlock game out there.

Yes Crimes is on my list - found it for a tenner so far  :thumbsup:

Bargain  8)

From what I remember it's quite a dark game in places and well worth playing to the end.


We made a topic about it:

I just picked up Sherlock Holmes Chapter One + The Sinking City Bundle for under £40 as it was on sale. Great timing! Saved over £30 that way.

Not a bad price, see if you can get on with the game.

I will go back to it when I've more time.

Post by: Freddy on July 14, 2022, 22:11:39 PM
Yes a good price, I killed two birds with one stone - I've wanted the Sinking City for ages - basically got it for free :)

I'm going to finish Call of Cthulhu first though.

Things didn't go to plan - the bundle is not compatible with Xbox One X - it was for the newer console. I got a refund. Oh well.

Seems it was for the best, because Sinking City bundle is on sale for only a tenner.
