First and foremost, it's important to note that, while skipping mini-games or OTEs is available in this game, doing so will result in missing their associated achievements.

So, if you're aiming for 100% completion, don’t skip them and remember that those tasks need to be completed manually; otherwise, you’ll end up wasting a massive amount of time replaying them later on (trust me, I learned this the hard way T^T).

This is one of the easiest games in the Sherlock Holmes series. It's great for beginners or anyone not used to this type of game, since it offers a lot of help, such as skip options, very obvious object highlighting, and clear instructions on what to do and how to progress (or even hold your hand and walk with you).

Also, unlike the others in the same series, the puzzles here don’t test your skills or brainpower at all. You just need to collect all the clues and use a bit of logic to put everything together at the end. If you’ve played older Sherlock Holmes games or even 'Chapter One', you’ll find this one much more beginner-friendly and guided.

The Devil’s Daughter is what happens when Sherlock Holmes trades in cold logic for action set pieces, parkour chases, and dramatic brooding worthy of a CW drama—and honestly, it’s kind of great in its own unhinged, Victorian way.

You play as Sherlock, but not the pipe-smoking, emotionally distant intellectual of classic literature. No, this is hot dad Sherlock—younger, sassier, and somehow managing to balance solving murders with raising a mysterious adoptive daughter and occasionally wrestling with existential dread in his waistcoat.

The game is a hybrid of detective work, exploration, and the occasional awkward mini-game that may or may not involve breaking into a crypt, disguising yourself as a drunk sailor, or chasing someone across rooftops like an untrained Assassin’s Creed intern. One minute you’re piecing together evidence and deducing motives like a genius, and the next you’re doing QTEs in a burning building while screaming “what is happening” internally.

What keeps it all together is the atmosphere. Victorian London feels dense, dirty, and alive. And the cast of characters, while sometimes leaning into melodrama, are engaging enough to make each case feel like a proper BBC mystery with a dash of "uh-oh, the occult might be real."

Each case has multiple outcomes based on your deductions, and the game doesn’t always tell you if you got it “right.” Which is perfect, because what’s a Sherlock Holmes game without the crushing weight of uncertainty and self-doubt?

It’s clunkier than its predecessor, Crimes & Punishments, and leans a little too hard into the action sometimes, but there’s still a strong core of clever puzzle-solving and story-driven investigation buried under the dramatic flair.
