This has to be one of my absolute favourites out of the series.

I love how they expanded on crimes and punishments, adding new mechanics, a semi explorable world, and just a lot more to do! Again these games do get quite tedious but that adds to the life of sherlock holmes.

I really love the underlying story throughout this one, it's spooky in the best way!! Definitely give this one a try, it had me laughing a lottt and had me so excited to get through each case. Definitely a must if you love investigative games!

Another great Sherlock Holmes game!

Sherlock Holmes: Devils Daughter is a good adventure game, but not in my favorite detective games.

Devil's daughter is a continuation of the Frogwares Sherlock Holmes series. It fits comfortably in the mixed category of detective games, containing both detective themes, and detecting mechanics. You play as Holmes and some associates, solving 6 varied crimes around London.

This formula worked well for me in the previous game, Crimes and Punishments. Here however, something didn't click for me. I found the action sequences, especially the Indiana Jones section to significantly outstay their welcome. I also found many of the deductions to make much less sense than in previous games, requiring a lot more just guessing.

It's still a solid game, but between this installment and Crimes and Punishments, I prefer the latter's focus more on the detecting, and not on stealth sections or tomb raiding.

If you want a more adventure heavy games with some detecting in the mix, this should be a great game for you!
