A good story makes a great adventure....

User Rating: 9 | Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened (2007) PC
The Awakened is a brilliant adventure game that takes you around the globe to investigate as the legendary Sherlock Holmes and his side-kick Dr. Watson. The plot line builds with quite a pace as a simple servant disappearance evolves into cult rituals and murders to awaken their god. The game could have been more perfect since all the puzzles that faces you actually make sense which is kind of rare in these types of games. No tricky stuff and you need nothing except your mind and maybe a small piece of paper for those hard but yet entertaining puzzles.

This could have been a perfect game if it wasn't for the glitches this game has, I almost cried at the end when the game started to go nuts and most of the passages got blocked, because of a stupid glitch I could have lost everything. Another downside to this game is the dark lightening in some areas where you have to get something but you can't see it, it really killed my until I turned up the Gamma a little bit and the room turned pinkish donno why. If you get past those two flows the game would be a perfection and would make the top of my list for adventure games, unfortunately, that wont happen and the game is quite short, well I guess that is the thing with all adventure games nowadays. I miss ya Monkey Island.
