The last game was pretty good. Think I'll play this one.

I have always been curious about these games

That cover lol. I'm ready to solve crimes in post-apocalyptic London.
Crimes and Punishments was a good game though, so I'd be down for more of this.

It's the new benchmark for video game graphics, much like Triple H's hair.
Coolio, always loved these games dispite their jank.
Ima spit water all over dat 'stach.

The last one was great (thanks again for recommending it to me Miles), so I'll definitely be picking this one up.

The last one was a free game, but I never played it. What are these games typically like?
I read about this early this morning, and it sounds interesting. I particularly like the cover art and the subtitle. But I don't know if they'd be for me.

C&P started off quite well, but then the cases became a little too predictable. Will probably still play this one though.

That cover is amazing.

I was not expecting that cover.
That's quite soon after the previous game, Crimes & Punishments, which was awesome (much to my surprise). This is easily one of my most anticipated games. I hope Frogwares managed to overcome the technical problems though (but releasing on fewer platforms and not on last gen consoles should help).
Not sure how i feel about action sequences since i don't think this series needs them. But we'll see.

If you live near a microsoft store and play on xbox one you can see if they have C&P on sale, its $7.99 online (sold out) and in store. I played it over the holidays and traded it in for $15 at gamestop, was a decent game but not something I'd pay full retail for.

It will be indicative of the game since the series is now a Devil May Cry character action spinoff.

Got the last one while it was on sale, definitely getting this at launch. The more of these type of games come to current gen consoles, the better.

Fingers crossed they've retained the gameplay and VAs from Crimes & Punishments, that was a damn good game. I tried out Testament recently and that felt so janky in comparison, and Watson's VA in particular was pretty bad.

Will watson's mustache go super saiyan god?
Sherlock looks like he won't be takin' shit from nobody in that cover hah.
If the performance is good I maaaaaaaaaaaaaay get it on PS4 as well.
By good I mean no screen tearing+solid 30 FPS for one thing.
It will turn white to signify Watson accepting his demonic heritage.
Super Saiyan? Please, this isn't an anime.

Absolutely loved Crimes & Punishments
The sense of place was incredible, and tbh kinda spoiled AC: Syndicate for me in that respect.
Will get this day 1

Are the puzzles challenging and at all obtuse?

Can someone provide a clean 1080p of the cover art?
Not really. Been a long time since I played it though so I can't give a good comparison ^^;

Not really. Talking about C&P in particular it was mostly about investigating crime scenes, gathering evidence, talking to suspects and then using the logic system to piece all your evidence together to solve the crime. The puzzles were limited to lockpicking and stuff. The cool thing was that each case had multiple outcomes based on who you accuse of being the criminal and how you choose to interpret the evidence. You can outright arrest the wrong person or the right person for the wrong reasons - and it never specifically says if your judgement was correct or not.

Weird.
Thanks for the reply. It sounds interesting despite the bolded. I may check it out.
And you never find out? Not ever?
This is wrong.
After the case is closed, you are indicated if you made the "true" choice or not (the name of the ending is shown in either green or red).
Maybe you are actually colorblind?
Aaaaand double-posted. Ooops.

It's actually not a bad thing, I mean when judges send criminals down do they get a big tick mark saying "correct, you got the right answer"? Guilt and innocence isn't a certainty, and that's how the game portrays it. Just think of how many people go to prison for crimes they don't commit, and then think how much higher that rate would be before we had all the tools we currently have at our disposal.
This is wrong.

You can choose to find out by looking at the correct answers and what other people selected for each choice (think like Life is Strange end of chapter reviews), but ONLY if you want to. The game continues if you made the right choice or not and you will see some consequences of your choices pop up in newspaper articles and such during later chapters, but the game never stops to say "you did this wrong, try again" or "man, you failed that case, guess you don't get the true ending". If you don't choose to view the end of chapter reviews, you won't know.
If you want to just play it like a game, view your mistakes, view the correct answer and then rewind to change the outcome to the correct one, you can - but it's actually way more fun to let those choices stick.
Edit: I blanked out the spoilers, but on the end of case screen where it describes your deductions and choice this is what you're presented with.

I liked the Sherlock Holmes games so far, my only complaint is that they are far too short. I've finished the previous 2 within 8 hours each. Preferably I'd love to have enough content to easily push the game past 20 hours.
