Good. Very, very good adventure game. But I don't think it should be called Sherlock Holmes.
* First, let me say that I've read ALL of the Sherlock Holmes books and stories.

Now, I didn't like that this portrayal of Sherlock or "Sherry" (I hated this) and this John are awfully modern, clothes, haircuts... all they were missing were a tribal tattoos
I didn't like that instead of 1880's speech, they used modern words and phrases (there was even one from TLOTR - written 100 years later)
I didn't like that they invented a Holmes family and one with mental illness, what's worse.
And again, I say it is VERY good, but would have been better to be a different game instead of Sherlock Holmes.

* A worse use of the rights and the name Sherlock Holmes was the TV show 'Elementary' 🤮
