What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened (2008) offers an engaging mystery adventure set in the Cthulhu Mythos with decent puzzles and a helpful hint system, though players report significant technical issues and incoherent puzzle logic that feels like parts of the game are missing. Most reviewers suggest playing the remake instead, as it addresses many of the original's problems, making this version worth considering only if you specifically want the older iteration and can tolerate its technical rough edges.
An enjoyable adventure with Holmes and Watson. Generally good challenges although some a bit obscure. Good hint system.1 found this helpful
Good but very glitchy in some of the worst ways. I highly suggest playing the Awakened remake over this. It is the better version of the game.1 found this helpful
Great game, little buggy and some of the puzzles are a bit frustrating. I came across a soft-lock bug, but thankfully i had a previous save so was able to continue.
Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened (2008) The Sherlock Holmes series returns with this updated version of The Awakened, which brings a whole new dimension to the original title developed by Frogwares. The game puts the player into an investigation of the Cthulhu Mythos - as imagined by Father of modern horror, H.P. Lovecraft.
The dialogue and puzzles are weird. The characters always start talking about things that you haven't heard about yet. The puzzles are incoherent and have no logical connections. It's as if someone is constantly cutting parts out of the game.
I love mystery games and this sherlock holmes Awakening has that in spades
