We Liked?


  • As a story, well written and giving you incentive to see what happens next.
  • Having to pay attention to details and deduce the correct suspect makes the player feel considerably more in control of the plot than they actually are - and it feels good.
  • Atmospheric backdrop of late Victorian London, albeit selectively detailed and populated by few personalities

Not So Much?


  • All of the story telling is linear - your involvement in numerous puzzles and minigames is merely to keep it moving along...
  • ... and some of these minigames can be hit or miss.
  • Linearity also hits the replay value - much as the story may grip you, once completed it will feel done.

Peter

 
Peter can be described as an old, hairy gamer, a survivor of the console wars of the 1990s, and a part-time MMO addict. He has an especial fondness for retro gaming and observing the progressions in long running gaming series. When scandalously not caught gaming, he can also be found reading comics and fantasy fiction, or practising terrible photography.
