i just wish it was longer and had more side quests
there are a lot of very cool ideas in this game, and I do wish I could've seen how some of those would have been realized if not for the time crunch and the Russian Invasion. definitely interested to see if future installments will build on stuff I wish had been explored more here.
also once again jumpscared by that Sherlock as L painting, A++

The detective mechanics are decent, if simple, though are very poorly explained and onboarded to the player. The Lovecraftian vibes are excellent, until the goofy anticlimactic ending. A messy AA eurojank title with a lot of heart but basic gameplay.
They are FINALLY locking into a groove with these games. For better or worse the investigations would get pretty complicated. Sometimes it was a simple overthought and others it was a bad mechanic or unexplained gameplay. Usually the story was enough to carry through all this. But the latest Chapter One really took a step backwards with a poor story and bad gameplay.
The Awakened ties together the studio's Lovecraftian Sinking City game (now a franchise?) with the classic Sherlock Holmes tales making for a fittingly haunting case. Sherlock's own mind palace is no longer safe and he and John have to thwart some real evil. The way they set the mood is great. And the story and characters were a lot more interesting than Sinking City too. It still had its moments where you would wander in circles wondering what to do next. But I rate this highly to signal a real step forward in these games. Looking forward to Sinking City 2!

The game was much shorter than the Chapter One, though it was a completely different story and as it seems not that much related to the main game storyline. I really liked the atmosphere and levels with new mechanics. The plot was fine, but not as interesting as the previous one.
Queria só saber pq fizeram o Sherlock tão gostoso
