Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter

   “The Devil's Daughter” has the core mechanics, which I liked, from “Crimes and Punishments”. You can watch somebody closely and make observations. And you can use clues to make deductions and reach conclusions. You can still draw the wrong conclusions which will lead to solving “a case” wrong. To make everything better, everything makes sense if you use logic and really think about it.

   So, at its core, the game is solid and fun. Unfortunately, the developers insisted keeping stupid mini puzzles all over the game that, with a few exceptions, only make it more tedious without real contributions. The difficulty settings don’t make the game harder, just force more busy work. Fortunately, a low setting even gives you the option of skipping those useless puzzles.
