What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
I really enjoyed Sherlock Holmes Chapter One and found it to have a lot of fun mechanics, side quests, combat, and a decent sized map to explore.
- Huge jump in gameplay and graphics and optimization, and God how I love the very rational changes in the concentration mode and scenes reconstruction AND the mind palace
The story is excellent, the atmosphere is top-notch, and the visuals and voice acting are on point.

The system is quite streamlined and easy to use: you can always see from your inventory which evidence should be pinned, and there's basically never more than one pinnable thing at a given time.
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. 4 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
