Surprised there's not a thread for this game. It looks drat fun so here's a little one. I haven't played any of the previous games but they are apparently pretty good and only getting better. Price: $40 Available now on Windows PC, PS4, PS3, Xbox One and Xbox 360 http://store.steampowered.com/app/241260/ What? Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments is the seventh game in the Sherlock Holmes series by Frogwares, a development studio not known for anything other than Magrunner (that weird portal-like puzzle game with Cthulhu poo poo in it) and adventure games. SH: C&P is an adventure game where you play as the titular character, solving six original cases. Wikipedia does a pretty good job on explaining the gameplay so I'll just paste the important stuff. Personally, I think it looks like an improved L.A. Noire with less nightmare fuel. "The majority of the game involves exploring crime scenes and examining clues. Once discovered, clues are added to a "deduction board", a gameplay mechanic which involves linking pieces of information together. It will lead to possible different deductions. Once deductions are connected together, player will have a full tree of deduction. Depending on how player interprets the clues, they will have different conclusions. Therefore player can fail in the game, or succeed into finding the right criminal. He should also decide whether he wants to absolve or to conduct the criminal. The moral choice player makes will influence the further gameplay. Each case will have 3-5 possible solutions; in total there will be 6-10 different endings for each case. In total, the game offers 14 investigation mechanics, including Sherlock Holmes' skill to guess many details about someone's life simply by glancing at them or to imagine and reconstruct the course of event by carefully observing all the key details of a crime scene. There are two camera views to be available – a first person point of view and a static third person camera. The player is able to change between them at any time. Sherlock can also draw evidence from autopsies and scanning the people he meets. For the latter, players will enter a first-person view for an up-close inspection of a character's face and emotions, clothing and belongings, where he'll find everything from scars and bruises to the quality of an outfit. Frogwares have fully detailed Victorian-era London using the new engine and it can also be explored." tl;dr/watch this regardless https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXRJmkrBCIk Screens
