My first impact with the game wasn't very good to be honest, since the "cinematic" watered down structure had me worried for a while. Though after solving the first case, I definitely like it. It's still easy and straightforward, and there's a lot of hand-holding, but the 'LA Noire meets Telltale' kind of gameplay works fairly well in my opinion.
At least the cases are dynamic enough to provide some investigative fun (unlike Murdhurrur), plus the moral choice system is..interesting. I'm not a fan of the mini-games with QTEs, but thankfully they can be skipped so it's all good. 
The game's got some pleasant graphics too, although I have to admit, the facial animations are miles away from being as believable as LA Noire's, which spoiled us.

Just started this game and it looks and feels great. It really makes you kinda feel like Sherlock sometimes, good atmosphere.
Seems better than Testament imo.

Besides the chemical puzzle which I was failing because the condition list is misleading (why they don't tell you that 2nd blue after the first one DOES NOT reset the status  ) everything else was straight forward and as I said obvious. I wasn't surprised that I picked the right conclusion. The game is not bad but its just too easy and straight forward. For now at least. I will see what will happen in the 2nd case  |
yeah.....maybe the 1st case might just be a tad easier, just saying. This has happened in games since games began, that's what tipped me off.  |

Well, the 2nd case was not that hard either. After I've got all clues, the conclusion was pretty obvious. I would've been surprised if my pick was wrong.

who enjoys this definitely should check the testament of sherlock holmes. older sherlock holmes are point and click.

The percentage refers to the fact whether you condemn him or absolve him, even if he commited the crime.

ive searched the book ending and this is the real ending
on the yt video the guy had 10/16 and when he pressed space it told him it was the right choice even if it wasnt the real killer, and the synaps were green too, so i`m a little confused here

That's strange, as far as I know the chosen conclusion should always highlight in red if it's incorrect and green if it's correct when pressing spacebar to check before deciding if you want to replay the ending or continue, maybe a bug with the game then?

i'm currently at case 5 and as far as i can remember i prefer the testament of sherlock holmes more. this has less puzzles and its focused more on deductions but in order for them to work properly they should have use motion captures for the actors like in l.a. noire

I just finished the game and enjoyed it from start to finish. I have the feeling we can expect more cases via dlc.
Some things were underutilized (disguises and imagination for example). I felt the game should have been longer for all the different mechanisms to work and feel more complete.
I enjoyed it as much as The Testament, but the main narrative was lacking, including the final moral choice.

Great game so far! Just solved the first case...I think? | Spoiler: | Chose the young bloke as initiator |
But...does anyone else find some of the mini-games complete bullshit? It may be due to me using a controller, but I couldn't for the life of me figure out the ship figurine mini-game at the beginning. I couldn't drag anything anywhere. And then the ink reagent mini-game left me dumbfounded. They explain it so weirdly, I had to skip it unfortunately after the 20th time of combining chemicals...sigh. Had no problems with the other mini-games though.

Those puzzle-like mini-games are actually my favourite, the QTE ones on the other hand..
Kudos to the benevolent devs for providing a skip button in the first place.

That's what I'm feeling as well, I'm not done yet and I like the game, but I liked Testament more. I'm not a big fan of the "cinematic-ness"approach at all costs .
