What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Sherlock Holmes versus Jack the Ripper is a 3D adventure/detective game (which can also be played like a point-and-click game) with a captivating, well written story.
The developers even modelled a few blocks of Whitechapel that you can explore during your adventure, which makes the game feel more immersive and believable compared to if the gameplay was just restricted to a select few indoors areas.
The voice acting was okay but felt a little bit strange at times (like its predecessors).
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 3 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
