    Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments is one of the best Sherlock Holmes games available on the Switch — and maybe even ever released. The sum of many outstanding details working together seamlessly, it has uniquely clever mechanics that really drive home that “wow” factor — the added morality behind choices is a breath of fresh air in a long-standing series that usually relies purely on logic.

    I don't have much to say about this game except that while I always find Sherlocks and Watsons adventures to be great I quickly grew bored playing this game. The cases were pretty dull and the conclusions to them aren't any better either. But if you are a fan of mystery adeventure games give this game a try othervise just watch a walkthrough on youtube instead for the story.
