Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened (2008)

a bit buggy, some puzzles werent clear on their resolutions and the parts that we had to type were kind of frustrating, but, it was still a good game, the mistery was good and the story was great

Bien meilleur jeux que celui d'avant "la boucle d'argent. Je trouve que les passages d'exploration sont beaucoup plus stylé. Et c'est beaucoup moin un jeux "cinématique". La il faut savoir utiliser les objets, où les utilisait (surtout dans la partie hopital psychiatrique même si on fait beaucoup d'aller retour c'est rigolo). J'ai bien aimer les autres passage aussi. Les moments où tu dois littéralement écrire toi même la réponse pour faire avancer l'histoire sont largement à porter et pas totalement tiré par les cheveux comme La boucle d'argent. Cependant il n'y a plus ce système de questionnaire que je trouver cool, nie de conclusion vraiment surprenante a la fin car c'est évident ce qui se passe. Donc c'est un peu triste :( BTW mais les puzzles de persian carpet sont largement superieur.... Car comme t'habitude enfaite il n'y en a quasi pas ! Donc j'aimerais bien un peu plus de déduction comme à la professeur layton.

The chapter that's shown in the promotional art (a bayou in Louisiana) features what is possibly the most unintentionally ridiculous chase sequence in gaming history. The Louisiana level is a painfully shallow and stereotypical rendition of the American West; and for me was the horrifically sagging low-point of the game. Holmes and Watson's other travels outside London, including a visit to a mysterious institution in Switzerland, fare better in the game, and in general are more appropriate for a Sherlock Holmes story. If you liked "Call of Jaurez," "Return to Castle Wolfenstein," "Tomb Raider," or "Bioshock" but you wished these games had less violence and more puzzles, then "Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened (Remastered)" is for you.

Much better entry than the previous games and much, much more entertaining than imaginary “duel of wits” with Arsen Lupin. In fact, this game is closest to being graded actually good (and my standards for such old titles are set accordingly). This time however I’m going to write longer review (that inevitably will be rewritten to be shorter, drier and more concise in a couple months). Technically speaking game works and has third-person and first-person cameras. Quality of graphics is on par with early 2000s titles. Holmes and Watson act close enough to their literary counterparts. In theory, players can finish entire game in a couple hours, unless they’re stuck on something or find mismatch between guides and game items or action sequences. Rather good improvement conpared to other titles in series... There are enough drawbacks too and while some are subjective, others are objective. For example oddly nauseating movement animation in first-person (no idea why to be honest) don’t make it the most enjoyable experience either, but may be fine otherwise. Gigantic almost empty environments requiring backtracking or investigation sequences where bets “research” tactic is random clicking are not that bad either (beats dungeons where you have to go back the same way you came in, literally). Instead of asking how to solve this puzzle and progress further, more frequent line of questioning was that of spending time on the game at all. Instead of feeling like uncovering a mystery that may or may not be actually important in-universe, this turns into an exercise in tedium where one part is too easy, another too hard and the third makes you ask “what the F is that and why???” You know what? I’m going to do the funny thing – recommend this title. Not that bad all things considered. Don’t wanna play anymore though.

jeu parfait tout est dit

Good Game for Nostalgia :3

an another Sherlock Holmes game, I liked it better than SH Nemesis. the visuals are nicer and story is darker, but the puzzles are a bit simpler

La trama e gli enigmi mi sono piaciuti molto. La grafica è quella del tempo, ma il gioco è rimasto godibile
