What an amazing game! I love FMV titles, and D'Avekki Studios has cranked out another belter this time! There's even a reference to "Contradiction," another top notch FMV game. At one point, shapeshifted as Dupont, Violet will tell you "Don't try to get me to contradict myself." Very good acting, great script, and fun gameplay mechanism (shapeshifting to get access to new evidence, and playing around with the suspects).

Walking Simulator. Meh.

Incredible Stuff! This game really deserves much more recognition.

This game is one of the greatest adventure games of all time. And I've played many an adventure.

10/10, Buy it now.

And Enjoy.

I tried to enjoy it, but the mouths don't move when they talk.

Plus, I had just finished a Frogwares Sherlock Holmes game, so my expectations were probably too high.

A triumph in the Frogwares Sherlock Holmes series.

I've been an avid fan of this series for the last 7+ years, and I have to hand it to Frogwares. They keep hitting it out of the park.

Graphics: 10/10. Luscious scenes, and a rich recreation of London. Beautiful graphics, especially for a Point n' click style adventure. A lot of visual easter eggs to previous games that fans will enjoy.
Audio/Voice Acting: 8/10. Top notch voice acting, ambience, and music (the ending credit music/theme is a tremendous addition). Love the usage of songs from the earlier games in the series (During the bowling pitch segment). One complaint is the different Watson visual/voice. The Watson from C&P was perfection. Same with Holmes, but Holmes is close enough to the previous games, that I adjusted within 10 minutes.
Puzzles: 9/10. The puzzles are FAR superior to the ones in C&P, which had seemed to be a mere afterthought. These puzzles will get you thinking, and will challenge even a seasoned adventure gamer.
Action Sequences: 4/10. Next time, just ditch these. The one downside of the game. But, thankfully these are not too abundant.
Storyline: 10/10. Beautiful and intriguing mysteries. Well written characters. The hallmark of an excellent adventure game. The dark twists to the mysteries in Devil's Daughter are very much appreciated - they hearken back to the excellent "Holmes: The Awakened".
Length: ~12/14 hours, depending on how much times you take in the scenery, and sleuth it out. But most every minute of those 12/14 hours will be entertaining, no lulls in the gameplay.
WHAT AN ENDING. Wow. Overall, probably my favorite storyline/cases of the entire series.
Price: I imagine Big Ben Interactive, the new publisher, might be the reason for the steep $50 price tag on this Holmes game. I personally feel $35/$40 is the sweet spot for a top notch adventure game, and tend to reserve the $50/$60 spot for AAA open world games/RPGs/Shooters which have longer playtime. I'd recommend this on a sale (I myself took advantage of the pre-order sale which knocked it down to $30)
-One Note: I recommend playing Testament of Sherlock Holmes, and Crimes and Punishment first, and then continuing on to this game. You will enjoy the build up and the series much more.


All in all, I highly recommend The Devil's Daughter to any adventure gamer, especially one with a Whodunnit/Detective bent (I wish Her Interactive would finish up "Midnight at Salem" already). There aren't close to enough games in this genre available, and I'm so thankful that Frogwares continues to carry Sherlock Holmes' torch forward.

9/10.

Decent game. I found the empty atmosphere and platforming premise of this walking simulator not to my liking. I would have preferred more story, more walking (less jumping).

But, coming fron an indy studio, I was pretty impressed nonetheless.

This is hands down the greatest PC game I've ever played. And thanks to Feral Interactive I got to play it on my Mac.

If you haven't sunk 20+ hours into Sleeping Dogs, ask yourself what you're doing with your life. The gameplay is addictive as hell, the storyline movie-calibre, the audio and voice acting superb. And the Hong Kong setting, oh, it puts other sandbox games to shame.

Buy it. Play it. Enjoy.

Fun game with tons of detail and a few simple puzzles. Excellent storyline, solid mystery. Definitely pick it up on a Steam sale, as it's not the longest of adventure/storyline games.

Very atmospheric, eery and creepy fun, my heart went into crazy adrenaline mode at least 6-7 times. Best bet is to play this lat at night. I finished it at 5AM. Now I hear creepy noises in my house too.

Special Thank You to the devs for having this available on the Mac platform. Not enough adventure style games (or games in general), so this is much appreciated. You earned tons of extra brownie points just for that.

Novak sounds like Forsen.

10/10
