Overall 7.5 but rated an 8 to give it the benefit of the half-point that can't register.Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments is an adventure mystery video game in the Sherlock Holmes series developed by Frogwares in 2014 and distributed by Focus Home Interactive from 2014 to 2019 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. I don't think it's worth the extra money for the PS4 version however, so go with the PS3 if you still have one. The upgrade to the Unreal Engine works well and they try to show that off by setting the Cases in visually interesting places like The Royal Gardens at Kew and an Ancient Roman Bath under reconstruction and such. Having multiple cases to solve plays far better than one, long case like "The Testament of Sherlock Holmes" was. I think the writing is a bit better than previous entries, but there are still some lines that no actor could deliver well. As in the others, the voice acting is uneven at best.

Are you smart enough to figure out who really did it? The game's biggest strength is that it can make you feel as smart as Sherlock Holmes himself.
