From GameWatcher: "Frogwares and Sherlock Holmes are a classic combination, but when the developer took a cosmic horror departure with The Sinking City in 2019, it was a pleasant surprise to see it try something different. Now Frogwares returns to a combination of the two for a horror-led Sherlock Holmes adventure in the form of a ground-up reimagining of 2006’s Sherlock Holmes: Awakened. We go hands-on with a demo build to see if the legendary detective can solve mysteries within the realm of the Cthulhu Mythos while retaining his iconic calm demeanor.
After the horrible tussle of The Sinking City, Frogwares returning to Sherlock Holmes: Awakened feels especially pointed. Whilst the Ukrainian developer is synonymous with the Baker Street sleuth, it has dipped its toes into horror almost as much, especially during its early years when it tackled The Mummy, Dracula, Jack the Ripper, and of course, the Cult of Cthulhu."
“Here we are at our AAA Game of the Year Awards and there are loads of games to celebrate so let's dive in and get to the winners.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened merges the world of H.P. Lovecraft with the usually rational Sherlock Holmes. Have Holmes and Watson met their match?
XBA says: Much more than a simple remake, it's a new take on the original. A case worth investigating.
