You’d always be automatically moved between locations not being able to take in London truly. Previous Sherlock Holmes games were fairly tightly woven. Credit: Frogwares.Īction is similar to other Sherlock Holmes games, with a hefty dose of how things were done in Frogwares’s most recent game, The Sinking City. Given much of the game also focuses on Holmes piecing together his mother’s death from years ago, there’s quite a lot of Troubled Holmes afoot here. An imaginary friend, he chips in with occasional advice if you talk to him and tends to offer some cheeky comments too. As you’ll soon discover, Jon isn’t actually real. This time around, he’s assisted by his childhood friend, Jon, rather than Watson. Holmes might be young, but he’s still just as obnoxiously sharp as ever.

Again, it doesn’t quite hit the spot at times but for sleuthing fans, it remains a tempting tale. A prequel to the others, it’s larger than the others and pursues a different path, following the origin story of Holmes as a nosy 21 year old exploring the Mediterranean island of Cordona. Always a little clunky, always never quite hitting the spot, but still solidly fun, we’re up to the ninth instalment now in the form of Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One. Quietly in the background for many, Frogwares has been developing a string of Sherlock Holmes games over the years.
