Minute of nostalgia: Remembering Sherlock Holmes

Another distribution in EGS … What could be better than another toy added to your account, which you either have already passed ten times, or you never download in your life and, moreover, you will not start? Oh, stop, what is it? Sherlock Holmes? Crimes & Punishments? I can’t pass by the investigation of the brutal murder of old women ..

Sorry Steam, but today I lost the egs vitality ..

The story of a character created by Sir Artur Conan Doyle has a long and very exciting story, which I, perhaps, will omit. It so happened that fate abandoned the rights to the game adaptation of the adventures of the famous English detective of all time to Ukraine. More precisely, in the hands of the capable children from the Ukrainian Studio Frogwarees, who created a name on a series of quests based on the works of Conan Doyle, and recently moved away from it, throwing strength to adapt schizophrenia of the no less legendary and great Howard Lovecraft in the game The Sinking City. As the developers themselves said a year after the release, the game was still successful, despite the exclusivity in Epic Store. In any case, the entry of rights to these developers was simply one hundred percent, as they say, not in an eyebrow, but in the eggs. This was just an event at the level of the appearance of the British series “Sherlock” with Benedict Cyberskotch … Cumberbets … Cumberbatch!

All this is certainly good, but you ask noidverificationcasinos.co.uk what could attract me in the distribution of the game that came out in 2014? Why did you get to the fact that you will gobble up? You were still so young and could buy so many games on sales in Steam! Well, of course: “You were my brother, I loved you! They predicted that you would buy the entire turkey in Steam, and you won’t take it for free on the distributions in EGS ”(oh, I feel, they will make the main dish for the day of American thanksgiving for such jokes).

It’s simple, I try to passion for all detective. CSI, NCIS, mentality, think as a criminal, various adaptations of Sherlock Holmes in the present, both in Britain and in USA – this is only a small part of what I watched, holding my breath. Of course, I did not bypass such video games as MurDered: Soul Suspect, The Wolf Amoll Us, L.A. Noire, this is the Police and SHOOON, oh, I meant Heavy Rain (recently, not only on YouTube). But with all this … I have to admit … I have never played games about Holmes from my compatriots. Okay, lying, played in a pair of their ports on Java telephone, about a silver spoon and Seryozha, as far as I remember. However, I must note that then they did not drag me as much as Sherlock Holmes: The Official Movie Game by Gameloft. Until now, with warmth in my heart, I remember her in the attacks of nostalgia in lost times ..

And here I go to the main twist of this article. As part of the “Minutes of Nostalgia” I already recalled the XCOM PC version, but to today’s topic closer s.T.A.L.K.E.R. Mobile. They thought that I would now take my cane, crunched the senile back and blowing off the dust from the old pirate disk of the game of 2014, and I would tell my grandson about how, during my youth, under the smell of burning Maidan tires, I lost it behind Sherlock Holmes: Crime and Punishment and Punishment? Almost. Only the dust had to be blown away from the old Nokia. Yes, today I will be nostalgic about the same Sherlock Holmes: The Official Movie Game. Get your deductive skills, Watson!

As you understand from these English letters, the game was created on the basis of and to the release of the film about Holmes and Watson from the director Guy Richie and with the inimitable genius, billionaire and playboy Robert Dauni the younger. I can say with confidence that the film turned out to be impressive and still in my personal top. But I met the game before watching the film, which probably influenced my perception.

I can’t help but note that, discussing the plot of this project of French Java Masteers, you need to remember that the game was made from the film. That is, you need to take the plot of the film, all or almost all the characters of the film, the main twists and … cut all this half. Something like that. The main events of the film were retold, many heroes were transferred, and the developers even managed to add something of their own. I remember there was a moment when Sherlock and Watson were running from a prison where they kept Blackwood along the static street of London, which was happening chaos, soda and homorrah, and definitely did not shut off a bunch of chases on these chariots-taxi, which are called in the series of frogware to the English manner. If Sherlock traveled to them in crime and punishment for quite peaceful goals, then in this game he drives them no worse than Schumacher, arranges accidents and jumps from one to another.

The most interesting part was a gameplay in which we were given the opportunity to control the carts, and to jump from burning barrels and, of course, apply Sherlock’s Boxing skills in battle against the hordes of bandits, sectarians and other good things. However, I do not really remember that there were some riddles there. Is that a lever to find some to find a secret door in the wall. It turned out a kind of Hollywood action. Dynamic and rapidly developing. So fast that you do not have time to fully enjoy it, you are torn off, telling the story in halves and you notice this in the process. But still, after passing, I want to say: “Wrap two more such”.

Separately, I would like to note the characters, unlike the film, their characters are poorly conveyed. On the example of Sherlock, which is shown in the film by extraordinary, creative and melancholy, he was never afraid to change into rags to get information and result, and in the port he turned out to be more serious and straightforward, although the note of humor was present. But it was more likely. Sherlock, by the way, looked serious, confident, intelligent and with a note of extraordinary. The combination turned out to be interesting and looked natural for this character.

For 2009, the game turned out to be not bad, but still left a vague doubt behind and became ambiguous, having such a magnificent source. In any case, she will remain in my memory of one of the most interesting Java IGR, which met on my gaming path.
