PlayStation UniverseJohn-Paul JonesJun 20168/10Over eighteen months on from the release of Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments and there still hasn't been anything quite like it on PS4. Trust the developers of that game then to be the ones who surpass it with Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter, an effort that not only meaningfully evolves over its predecessor but also one that sadly suffers from a small handful technical issues, making it fall just shy of greatness. All the same, the fact remains that sleuthing about Victorian London has never been as entertaining as this.

SelectButtonKevin MitchellJul 20168/10With varying action sequences, Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter attempts to appeal the series to a wider audience. Almost every case features new mechanics that you'll only use once before moving on, but thankfully these can be skipped if you desire. I've skipped a couple in my playthrough, and never felt like I was taking the easy way out. Why waste time on a poorly constructed trial and error sequence, when I just want to figure out who set the streets of London ablaze in a hailstorm of fire. When it comes down to it, The Devil's Daughter is still a fun experience, giving players the freedom to come to their own conclusions. It's a great way to feel like you are a detective.

PCWorldHayden DingmanJun 20162/5 starsSherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter is a hard left over Reichenbach Falls. It's Frogwares taking all the wrong lessons from Crimes and Punishments, turning out its least-coherent Sherlock games in ages and filling it with all sorts of mechanical drudgery. Such a shame.

We Got This CoveredGabs TannerJun 20162.5/5 starsThe base gameplay of Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter allows you to pick the brains of the great detective while testing your deductive skills. It's just a shame that long loading times and grating puzzles constantly interrupt any intrigue found within the vague stories.
