Each of the five cases delivers numerous outcomes, along with the satisfying feeling you are uncovering clues only Sherlock Holmes could. Developer Frogwares is well in tune with Holmes, as it should be after spending 15 years with him over eight games. Frogwares hit on something special with the 2014 entry, Crimes and Punishments, and attempts to build a bigger experience in The Devil’s Daughter, but most of the new gameplay activities negatively impact the experience, and are made worse by maddening technical issues.\n\nLife at 221B Baker Street is changing. The routine of cases coming in, the Great Detective diving into them, and guilty people ending up in jail continues like clockwork, but at a price. In The Devil’s Daughter we learn Sherlock Holmes excels at all professions except one: being a father. He has a teenage daughter named Katelyn – a cheery and educated girl who just wants to spend time with dear old dad. Her attempts to free her father of his work end in tears. Holmes is closed off, stern, and almost seems to be intimidated by fatherhood. We learn Kate is receiving parental guidance and love from a mysterious woman named Alice, who has recently moved in next door and has become a thorn in Holmes’ side. Seeing a flawed version of Holmes is a hell of a storytelling vehicle that you’ll want to see through to the end (and it concludes in a satisfying way), but getting there takes a considerable amount of effort.","http:\u002F\u002Fwww.gameinformer.com\u002Fgames\u002Fsherlock_holmes_the_devils_daughter\u002Fb\u002Fxboxone\u002Farchive\u002F2016\u002F11\u002F02\u002Ffar-from-elementary.aspx","2016-11-02","6.75\u002F10",67.5,{"id":187,"author":188,"outlet":191,"summary":196,"review_url":197,"review_date":124,"original_score":198,"normalized_score":67},148040,{"id":189,"name":190},8054,"Richard Walker",{"id":192,"logo":193,"name":194,"website_url":195,"score_format":46},152,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fxbox-achievements-logo.jpg","Xbox Achievements","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.xboxachievements.com\u002F","A better presented package overall, Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter is a small step forward for the series, but still in serious need of polish and a greater level of cohesion between its disparate parts.
