“Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened” – Every Chapter Ranked

I’ve recently finished playing “Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened” – the latest Frogwares Sherlock game – and it’s safe to say my opinions on it are mixed. Instead of a full-blown review, I thought it better to rank the game’s chapters individually. There are eight chapters (not cases, like in “Crimes and Punishments”, but instalments inContinue reading ““Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened” – Every Chapter Ranked”

The Evil Within 1 VS 2 – Which Game Is Better?

Thanks to Epic Games releasing both games for free during the Halloween season, I finally got the chance to play The Evil Within and its sequel.

I’ll beContinue reading “The Evil Within 1 VS 2 – Which Game Is Better?”

Modern Frogwares Games Ranked (Sherlock Holmes & The Sinking City)

For some reason, I just keep coming back to Frogwares’ games. They’re a developer I’ve come to respect despite their inconsistent releases, and I have a love-hate relationship with their Sherlock series (and “The Sinking City” as well). I’ll be ranking all five “modern” Frogwares titles, i.e. from “Crimes and Punishments” onwards as I feltContinue reading “Modern Frogwares Games Ranked (Sherlock Holmes & The Sinking City)”
