Sherlock Holmes versus Jack the Ripper

The best Sherlock Holmes game. The story alone is worth replaying, which is unusual for this kind of game. It offers no alternative paths or endings, yet it's the only game in the series that I replay every year or two. I'd love to see a remaster of this game, but given the execution of the newest game, The Awakened, I have mixed feelings. Best puzzle: Labeling the compartments at the Central News...

i played for five hours only for the game to soft-lock me with no chance of correction. if you do play make sure to have a ton of saves incase your game glitches (it will)

Another great game with Sherlock Holmes from Frogwares. The atmosphere is amazing. I loved the sound and music.

The story and dark atmosphere are cool, but the game is just too old and janky to enjoy today The graphics are incredibly dated, the character models look rough, and the pixel-hunting puzzle logic is frustratingly old-school If you are used to Crimes and Punishments, this one feels like a massive step backward in gameplay Skip it unless you have massive nostalgia for 2009 point-and-click games
