It took me some time to get comfortable with this new hipster version of Holmes, but I'm starting to believe that Sherlock Holmes and open world game design were a match made in heaven.

I get Frogware wanting to make their game appeal to a broader audience, but I kinda miss the stuffier, Jeremy Brett inspired Holmes of the early games. We've got enough trendy Holmeses over the last few years in other medias.

Still, I like their work, & I'm hoping this is another good one.
