It’s a lot of wandering around very dark, dodgy swamps with a lantern. There’s some physics-defying, twisty passageways that could give Ocarina Of Time a run for its money, too. Holmes’ reliable mental connections system from Crimes And Punishments is back, as you might expect, but the creepy blinking eye glyphs and Vecna fromStranger Thingsvibe is different from the recent games. It’s good to see Watson return to tell Holmes off, though.

Sherlock Holmes: The Awakenedcrawls out of the swamp and onto PC in early 2023. It’ll be available onSteam, with the game also coming to Xbox consoles, PlayStations, and Nintendo Switch.
