After playing The Testament of Sherlock Holmes and Crimes & Punishments, I finally had the chance to play and finish this game in about a day. Overall it was fun, but had a lot of ups and downs. First of all, the loading times were atrocious. Considering that sometimes you have to go from x to y to back to x and then z, it might get frustrating for some people. Graphics were much better than the previous games but there were some inconsistencies such as Sherlock's and Watson's faces being very detailed whereas Alice's and Kate's faces looked like the textures were constantly trying to load. Animations were inconsistent too, sometimes they looked good and natural and sometimes they were just clunky and lacking, like when you slap [spoiler] Alice [/spoiler], Sherlock just stands there and suddenly you see the slap animation end. Gameplay wise, I enjoy QTEs in games and this game had A LOT of them which I personally didn't mind. However, you should know that some QTEs have very short time limits that could make it a bit frustrating for controllers. Like in the previous games, you have a deduction board in which you can connect different evidences to bring up a deduction. There are absolute deductions which act both as an information and evidence for variable deductions. Variable deductions on the other hand, present you two deductions to choose from and depending on your answer it will direct you to a possible culprit. The thing that most bothered me was, in previous games collecting evidence and using this board was much more easier and logical but this game never really presents you a concrete evidence. Even connecting different evidences don't give you a better idea on what is going on. You have to REALLY nitpick some documents and info the game presents you as having little importance because if not, the game will tell you the culprit was Y with the most *sspull move [spoiler] looking at you 'pygmy' [/spoiler] when EVERYTHING was directing you to X. Also for some reason Sherlock was dumber? He didn't have much to say nor think. And not being able to use the analysis table as much as previous games was a huge let down for me. Same goes for autopsies and much detailed place searches. I think this superficial gameplay was the reason deductions didn't work as good as it should've been. The actual story was short and maybe kinda rushed as we could only really focus on it at the end. While I know the point is that Sherlock wasn't attentive at all, I would love to see a better relationship between Sherlock and Kate. It looks like Sherlock should've had a character development with Kate, going from a cocky detective to still cocky but somewhat passionate and kind dad, but instead of going with either of them they just watered down all his traits. [spoiler] Only at the end he finally realizes he wasn't being a good dad, and you don't even know what happens after. [/spoiler] The storytelling felt like someone edited a movie and cut the most important plot parts from it. The case stories were interesting and while still confusing at times, much more consistent than the main story. Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter was a mess compared to previous games but it was still enjoyable. Don't be hesitant to use the Skip option in puzzles or look for help online in your deductions if needed as they might be too frustrating or dragging you for too long.

Alice sen güzelim Katenin kafasını karıştırdın bizim huzurumuzu kaçırdın ya Allah senin belanı verecek büyücü kaşar seni

Отличное продолжение первой части. В целом по механикам в игре изменений от первой части нету. Тут более над сюжетом и повествованием проработали. Поэтому можно поставить игре 9 из 10 для своего жанра.

Pretty bad game overall. Detective games in general stand and fall on the writing and puzzle design. The Devil's Daughter dissapoints on both ends. Nonsensical and unsatisfying solutions to overcomplicated cases, too many boring stealth/action segments, even the puzzle elements often rely just on trial and error. A big step-down from Crimes and Punishments. Laughable attempts at an overarching story, which just fizzles out at the end without any proper conclusion. Graphical errors, awkward movement and softlocks abound. The game also comes of as surprisingly edgy in its attempts to be dark and mature, it appears almost ashamed of the lighter and more comedic side of the Sherlock Holmes stories, which the Crimes and Punishements managed to embrace without sacrificing the intrique. The first case has some tense moments and an interesting build-up, but fails to deliver a proper ending for the main suspect and the side charaters. The second case turns out to be completely nonsensical, due to it's inclusion of some of the worst attemps at red herrings ever. Many obvious holes and discrepancies are never satisfyingly explained, and the "correct" solution is way dumber than the other options. The last third of this case becomes a tedious crawl through an ugly ancient temple, where the player has to combat not only the boring puzzles, but also the stiff controls and the pure annoyance of dying over and over again. There is also an entire subplot about steampunk robots that goes nowhere! The third case opens with a bang and has some funny moments, but once again falls prey to extended stealth sections and pretty boring gameplay. There are very few locations in this story and it feels somewhat weightless. The fourth case is hands down the best part of this game. The puzzles are interesting and require some actual deductive reasoning from the player, the story is focused and the action minigames aren't too distracting. The final moral decision is also more complex than in all of the other cases. The last case is where the game comes to a screeching halt. It's laughably short and fails to establish any kind of tension or sympathy for the characters. It tries to come of as a conclusion to a slow-burning mystery hidden in the shadows, but comes of as intensely melodramatic and goofy. The game ends with a "Telltale-like" dialogue final boss, which might have been satisfying with a proper build-up, but comes off as rushed and insincere. This game attempts a different direction for a Sherlock Holmes story, but sacrifices everything I love about this character and detective games as a genre. Too little thinking and too much spectacle and misdirection. I reccomend you to skip this game, unless you're ready to overlook it's many bad qualities and enjoy the small, fleeting moments of intrique and tension.

It's a mixed game it's good but you feel like the devs were not focused while making it or something but overall 8/10 you can get happy with it especially if it's your first sherlock holmes game to play.
