Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments

为什么一个侦探游戏要弄成3d的形式 晕死，那是真的晕。开局就开始晕了，而且行动方式也特别奇怪，真是见鬼了

原创的案件写得还不错，人物特征速写也很有原著的味道，但是问题太多。建模落后这个姑且不说，其他的问题也很难忍。 1、极其容易卡死，重灾区是空格键查看结论和结案切换下一案的时候，第五个案件里已经到了切换地点都可能严重卡死只能重启的程度了 2、会修改电脑的分辨率 3、引导很差，很多小游戏不知道怎么玩全靠摸索 4、交互也差，有时候明明已经看到线索但就是触发不了，需要反复走来走去才能碰到那个触发点，比如第二案里的车辙 5、人物经常走着走着就不动了，甚至也没有卡到什么死角，我刚进入游戏的时候用了将近十分钟才让福尔摩斯走起来。 6、其他小游戏都能跳过情况下，第四案的双人协作不能跳过，不知道是否致敬古墓丽影，但我确实在这里卡了很久。如果不给跳关非要玩家自己通关，那能不能给个俯视图辅助？帮人帮到底懂？ 7、有一个明显具有中国背景的人物在带英搞鸦片和毒品试验，属实是加害人倒打一耙 总之体验很糟心，纯粹是因为不能退钱又想通关而且是原著粉才玩下去的，如果有人对里面剧情感兴趣云一下就行了，完全没必要浪费这个钱

If you're a bit of Holmes fan like myself, you'll love this gem! If, on the other hand, you're new to all things Sherlock Holmes, then I can say that it is worth the price. Just make sure, and this includes all you Holmes fans, that your PC/laptop specs meet the minimum at least. If it meets the max, though, then huzzah! From graphics to the ability to OBSERVE the way Holmes observes, I can't help but be without words! It's what every Holmes fan has dreamed of. Oh, and you have extensive use of dear ol' Toby! The one thing I don't like about this game, though, is the lack of cases. And I am talking about canonical cases! Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a total of 60 stories! That'd be 4 novels and 56 short stories. I'd rate this game 8.7/10!

This was the first game from the Sherlock Holmes series by Frogwares that I got. I played it when I was around 13. By doing a second run a few weeks ago, I can say that this game still holds up nowadays (2025 at the time of writing this review). The graphics have aged well for a 2014 barring a few texture glitches. This is even more impressive knowing that this was not a game made with a very high budget. The voice acting is also very competent. However, some buyers may want to know that this game is not dubbed in any other languages than English and translations are provided in subtitles. This is not an issue for me as I always usually play in English, but this may surprise some players who are used to the dubbing of previous Frogwares games. The atmosphere of the 19th century England is very well translated to this game. The environments are also quite detailed and feel alive. The gameplay, while simple on the surface, is very enjoyable. The game is divided into multiple cases. You explore each crime scenes which can be further examinated in your notebook. Contrary to previous games of the same series, the notebook has indications related to the interactions required by items. You interview several characters and then make deductions. While I had to use a walkthrough when playing older Frogwares games, the puzzles did not feel arbitrary or obtuse. I only had one puzzle from which I did not find the solution without looking up online (without spoiling anything, it is the "Director's Safe"). This is however not a perfect game. First, while the relatively pain-free puzzles may be a strength, it is a rather unchallenging game. It is also quite short: you will likely finish it in less than 20 hours. However, this game is often on sales nowadays so it can be somewhat excusable. It is possible to select a "wrong" conclusion at the end of a case but your decision has no impact on the following cases besides a few nods at the beginning. Some "right" conclusions seem also a bit convoluted and more circumstential than anything else. There are also a lot of traveling, which would be less annoying if these loading screens were less long. Despite these minor flaws, I enjoyed almost every minute of this game and I highly recommend it. Verdict: 8/10 Technical information: I played this game on Slackware 15 with Proton-Sarek 10.15. Playing with DXVK was fine and I did not encounter any graphical issues except for noticeable aliasing (I am playing on a 1080p screen). For curiosity sake, I tested the game a few minutes with WineD3D and the performance absolutely tanked in some environments. However, I encountered a few random crashes without any specific triggers. You may also want to change a few parameters in the configuration file to allow more VRAM usage and better shadow resolutions but the game is still playable without changing these. Please note that you may need to use the DirectX 9 mode on Windows with some AMD GPUs to avoid some flickering. You will easily find how to do this in this game Steam discussions and guides and in its PCGamingWiki page.

这游戏看实况就好了，打九折可以买。达成成就有点要求，看了攻略又回来重新打一遍案件，很多情节根本不知道要干什么，任务指引指向性很弱，特别是火车案件和浴场案件，这点比较恼人。

자꾸 겜이 지멋대로 꺼짐 스토리는 재밌으나 이동할때마다 마차를 타는게 너무 귀찮고 오래 걸림

Can't progress in the game as it keeps crashing huhu.
