He comes up with wild ideas and is the one who lingers to look at paintings of bums and fannies, and says something like, "Are you sure you don't like art, Sherry?"Īnd this partnership is a bit like Chapter One as a game. He looks at all the evidence and does the summing up. Sherlock is the cold, analytical prig, played to perfection as a very smug boy-man. Sherlock (or "Sherry", as Jon calls him in a development I absolutely love) and Jon form a great partnership, both dressed like two young men on an absurd steampunk weekend LARP, just bals being pals.
REVIEW SHERLOCK HOLMES SERIES
As I played, I oscillated wildly between thinking, "This is Frogwares' world and we're all just living in it!" and, "What is even happening, what is this, I need a ten-part documentary series that just follows the developers around because they really have a lot of explaining to do." Boy, do they get in some scrapes along the way! Bingo, bango, there's yer preamble.īut the complex explanation is that this game, ironically, defies explanation. Young Holmes returned to Cordona to find out how his mum died a decade ago, and is helped by his best mate Jon, this season's Creepy Watson.
You gather the evidence, cross reference it all, and then come to a conclusion on the case. The simple explanation of Sherlock Holmes Chapter One is a game where you embody the nascent consulting detective, aged 21, returning to Cordona, the Mediterranean island where he spent time as a child.
But the crimes you investigate are sometimes very, very stupid. The systems for uncovering clues and solving crimes are fabulous, making Sherlock Holmes Chapter One Frogwares' best game.
