Hey Poor Player
By Heather Johnson YuSherlock Holmes: The Devil’s Daughter is another triumph by Frogwares, who continues to do justice to the world’s most famous detective. If you didn’t pick up this series of sleuthy stories back in 2016, consider this your sign to get it on the Switch in 2022. If you’re ready to really walk a mile in Sherlock’s shoes as you hit Victorian London’s streets for clues, fist fights, and, you know, vibes, Sherlock Holmes: The Devil’s Daughter can totally come with you on handheld mode.

By Erika Gonzalvez NestaresSherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter is a game where patience is crucial since we will have to investigate different characters and scenarios in order to find different evidence that will allow us to draw the correct conclusions to solve each of the five cases that we are presented with.

By Justin NationThe world's greatest detective (or, at least the most well-known overall) is back on the Switch for another dose of sleuthing, and that's generally a good thing...

By Cristian BustamanteSherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter Redux is a very fun and visually appealing game, where we can feel like another detective in Victorian London and all its dangers that surround it. The notorious and annoying technical problems are a major setback, since they take us out of the adventure in most cases. This relaunch of Frogwares under the Redux version is still very poorly optimized, and it's a shame, as it's one of the best detective and Sherlock Holmes games.

By Gabriel JonesWhen it's not suffering from an identity crisis, Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter is a fine adventure/mystery game. Each case is intelligently designed and some aspects are really fascinating. Drawing conclusions from deductions is satisfying, especially when the right call is made. However, far too much time is spent engaging in distractions. This game would be much more fulfilling if it stuck entirely to what makes Sherlock Holmes great. That means no pointless activities, no misguided characterisation, just a plethora of mysteries that are fun and interesting to solve.
