Purchased on impulse, the testament of Sherlock Holmes is a clean puzzle based game with plenty of Victorian era style detective work that can become very confusing but is also quite a fun game.

The story follows holmes and Watson as they try to solve multiple murders & features classic Sherlock Holmes character Moriarty.

The game features some near perfect voice overs in very well built london areas.

During the game you are able to combine items in you inventory in order to progress, although knowing what and when can become mind numbing.

The control's are simple but character movement can be a tad bit glitchy (I just opened the closed inventory, it works)
The hint option is something I personally consider as broken...having to tap the left trigger when available and having to be facing the objective is annoying.

I love puzzles in games but in this case there isn't much to enjoy as there's no indication of what to do to complete it (not all are difficult)

There are times where you are able to play as watson which oddly seems better?
There's no auto save but it is a pre gen game.

The game has a nice mix of light and dark tones and to tend to put your brain to work.
