Our Verdict
Very good
A game of very high quality. Although some aspects might have been executed better, we would recommend this game without hesitation.
Sherlock has never looked better, and Crimes & Punishments is an enjoyable anthology that should bring in new fans, but there’s little challenge for a seasoned adventurer.
