The Good
- Optional control schemes a notable addition
- atmospheric 3D graphics
- tastefully deals with inherently unpleasant subject matter
- authentic detail
- investigative segments are interesting.
The Bad
- Not the epic clash the premise suggests, with limited scope of story and locales, padded-out puzzles and occasionally ropey acting and writing.
Our Verdict
Good
A solid adventure that is generally enjoyable, though it lacks enough polish or ambition to recommend without caution.
If you’re interested in either Sherlock Holmes or Jack the Ripper, you’ll like this game for its rich atmosphere and keen sense of detail, but don’t expect twice as much enjoyment from this unusual pairing.
