![]() Chapter One hit a bit of this in the Sacrificial Lamb case, although this takes on more of a darker tone comparatively. Proceeding through this unnerving account isn’t nearly as frightening as I would have gathered from my earlier preview ( which you can find here), but the atmosphere set does keep you on edge (with at least some credit to the amazing soundtrack from my friend Viacheslav Pakalin). Watson’s backstory, as it’s largely glossed over in cutscenes and it doesn’t feel as strong as Holmes’. The only thing I would have liked more of was the development of Dr. He is the connection to reality, and as the narrative goes forward you start to connect with him as well. Watson is much more necessary in the current chain of events, as Holmes’ mind splinters at certain points of the game. The game even references it, bringing up said character later on. Doctor John Watson is finally here after our watching “John” in the previous game, who was a figment of Sherlock’s imagination helping him cope with previous tragedies. Of course, a Holmes needs his Watson, even if he acts like he doesn’t at times. He may be intelligent, sharp-witted, and clever, but he’s still a human, which is on full display. The fragility of a brilliant mind is depicted so well it leaves your mouth agape, and Frogwares should be proud of the personal connection they’ve forged between the player and Sherlock. All of this is portrayed magnificently by Alex Jordan, who is quickly ascending to the top of my favorite Sherlock Holmes performances. He was already showing cracks from Chapter One, and you could argue that The Awakened shatters him. This narrative dives deep into the occult (the myths of Cthulhu in particular), with strange occurrences that lead Sherlock to his breaking point. In this way you connect to players of the original, but also give someone fresh off of Chapter One a chance to enjoy what’s come before.ĭescribing the story of The Awakened is tough without spoilers, so I’ll do my best here. What’s really interesting is the team took the basic story from The Awakened ‘06 and that only. After all, Chapter One is some of their best work, so it makes sense to connect everything. ![]() Frogwares brilliantly chose to introduce The Awakened as the next phase in the Chapter One saga, taking the familiar and making it fit. At the end we have some closure, and Sherlock seems like he can persevere, but this is really just the beginning. This series of events did a phenomenal job of reinventing our view of Sherlock, getting a closer view of his psyche and the damage that took place in his childhood. In it, Sherlock is taking his first steps into detective work, as well as uncovering the mystery of what happened to his mother Violet. So, if you like watching crime series and you want to see different and smart solutions and characters, you should keep an eye out for this series.To give a little backstory, Chapter One laid the bedrock for the Sherlock Holmes of the future. Also, he has a lot of experience and together they are very successful at solving crimes. Watson was an Army surgeon and he is incredibly determined. He solves crimes using deduction and he knows a lot of things about different disciplines like chemistry, medicine, crime history and psychology. Sherlock has an quick, agile mind, he is not interested in other things except his job. In this series, the most impressive thing is the characters’ personalities. They try to solve the crimes in the city. Sherlock and Dr.Watson happen to meet each other and start to live together in 221B Baker Street. In the original story and in the series, there is another important character called Dr.Watson. ![]() The first episode was featured in 2010 and it is still continuing. ![]() ![]() This series is about the adventures of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes in today’s London.
