Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: The Case of the Tin Soldier

overall alright for in between.

[h1]Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: The Case of the Tin Soldier[/h1] Um jogo de dedução, onde precisa de alguma leitura e entendimento em inglês pra entender o contexto da situação e conseguir completar. Se você utilizar um guia pra completar, acaba que é muito fácil de completar e fazer o 100%.

不是传统的点击解谜，需要你注意过场对话、人物名字、报纸内容，自己决定走访顺序和地点，算是对侦探工作的模拟，没有什么刺激的画面和剧情。另外，英语不好别玩，文本量太大。准备做成视频，汉化，剪成迷你剧形式，总之在做了。。。

Bought it in 2015, played it for two minutes, realized it wasn't a normal point & click, abandoned it. Played it again this morning, solved it in about half an hour. Recommended for its uniqueness and bad acting, and an extraordinary amount of meaningless details.

I really appreciate having these episodes of early 90s FMV available on a modern platform and wish I'd played them earlier. Are they perfect games? Not at all. Without the achivements popping up when you find the required clues, figuring out the optimal solution would be very tiresome. Typical 90s extending the gameplay through trial and error. But it is worth it to explore the different performances and cute little side stories. I give the games a lot of credit for letting you follow useless clues way further than you need. Tho I see no real reason to split it up into 3 games, and thus will review them as one. [b][u]The Case of the Mystified Murderess[/u][/b] - By far the strongest of the offerings, even if the solution is very silly. It has more complex storytelling and avenues to explore, and the actors you talk with in this one are some of the strongest performances. You also get to solve both crimes related to the case. [b][u]The Mummy's Curse[/u][/b] - In the middle, it has the least requirements to solve the case, and leaves out one of the biggest clues from the required scenes. It also keeps bringing up a side-plot that goes nowhere and has no resolution (tho we can assume who the culprit is). But it relies on context clues and reading the newspaper more like a puzzle, and the murderer is pretty fun. [b][u]Tin Soldier[/u][/b] - I find this the weakest of the 3 cases for 2 main reasons - we solve it not through dialogue but through exploring an empty room, and getting to that clue is a massive reach. Second we just completely ignore a 2nd murder that is directly related to the first. I guess it is not technically required to solve the case, but it is unforgivable that even if Holmes does visit both [spoiler]Matin[/spoiler] and [spoiler]the Count [/spoiler] and is told straight up [spoiler]Vladimir killed Matin to get the ruby back[/spoiler] he never reports it to anyone. I do appreciate that we are allowed to visit all the surviving lottery ticket holders, and will give it credit for having probably the most grounded motive of the 3. I reccommend these 3 episodes to anyone interested in FMV games and schlock, and wants to play just to experience all the different performances and actors. It is not worth it at all if you want to play just to get a good score.

O caso mais interessante da coletânea. A trama é mais equilibrada e direta, sem os exageros do anterior, e as pistas fazem sentido. Apesar dos mesmos problemas técnicos de sempre, é o mais coeso e consistente dos três.

Another tedious mystery in this boring series of non-games. There's no intrigue, no atmosphere, and absolutely no reason to "play". The acting is horrendous and there is zero actual gameplay. Why does it end with you going before a judge? Holmes was a "CONSULTING" detective. It's in the title for heaven's sake! The information would be passed onto Lestrade or another representitive of Scotland Yard and it would be them going to court. There are small improvements over the abysmal Mega CD version but the absence of trophies/achievements and trading cards means that there will be nothing to drag you back to this after you suffer through it the first time. AVOID!

Not so bad as the others in this series, in that there's a decent red herring of a plot thread, which was however resolved extraordinarily abruptly - seriously, [spoiler] surely there should have been something about calling the police or Interpol or someone about Volkov? [/spoiler] I wish they weren't co-opting Holmes and Watson into these stories. If you're going to use those names, you should have a story that can live up to to the originals, and that's just not there. Still, that seems to be the way all the adaptations this century are going...

Only if you are a detective fan. Dated even for 2015. I got for a dollar so was not upset. Game play- https://youtu.be/lduEZbOzwgc
