Über das Spiel

Erlebe ein nervenaufreibendes Adventure im Lovecraft'schen Stil, das mit moderner Grafik und zeitgemäßem Gameplay von Grund auf neu entwickelt wurde.

Schlüpfe in die Rolle von Sherlock Holmes und finde dich im Grauen erregenden Cthulhu-Mythos wieder, als du in einer Reihe von mysteriösen Vermisstenfällen in Europa und in den Vereinigten Staaten ermittelst.
The Awakened, am treffendsten als „Lovecraft meets Sherlock Holmes“ einzuordnen, konfrontiert dich mit dem legendären Cthulhu-Mythos. Ermittle in einer Reihe von mysteriösen Vermisstenfällen, die offensichtlich etwas mit einem finsteren Kult zu tun haben, der einer uralten Gottheit huldigt. Was auch immer dieser Kult vorhaben mag, du musst seine Pläne durchkreuzen... oder dich unaussprechlichen Konsequenzen stellen.

Zum ersten Mal in seinem Leben hat Sherlock wirklich Angst. Als Mann der Vernunft bekommt er es mit einer außerweltlichen Entität zu tun, die sich jeglicher Logik entzieht, und diese Entdeckung ist für ihn ebenso aufschlussreich wie erschütternd. Die Suche nach der Wahrheit treibt Sherlock an den Rand des Wahnsinns. Vielleicht handelt es sich gerade deswegen um die einzige Geschichte, die Watson nie veröffentlichen wird.

The Awakened spielt im Jahre 1884 und enthüllt, wie Sherlock und John, die sich damals lediglich eine Wohnung teilten, zu dem weltberühmten Verbrecherjäger-Duo wurden.

Die wichtigsten Eckpunkte
  • Erforsche den Cthulhu-Mythos, wie er von H. P. Lovecraft erdacht wurde, und stelle dich schaurigen Schrecken jenseits der menschlichen Vorstellungskraft.
  • Kämpfe gegen den übergreifenden Wahnsinn an, während du Antworten auf Fragen suchst, für die es keine rationale Erklärung gibt.
  • Finde Hinweise, die dich durch die berühmte Londoner Baker Street, in eine gespenstische Psychiatrie in der Schweiz, in die gefährlichen Sümpfe von Louisiana und an weitere Schauplätze führen werden.
  • Eine Neuinterpretation des Spiels aus dem Jahr 2008: The Awakened wurde in der Unreal Engine von Grund auf neu entwickelt und überzeugt mit zeitgemäßen Grafiken und Animationen, einer erweiterten Handlung, zahlreichen Nebenquests und neuen Spielmechaniken – darunter das einzigartige Wahnsinn-Gameplay.

A real Holmes. Just as good as Chapter 1, only it finally has that typically dark Holmes atmosphere again. Lots of exploration, investigative work, and logical thinking required, so I love the new good old Holmes. The wait was definitely worth it, and of course a must have for a Holmes fan.

The story starts very slow, but then turns out to be very great and sinister. I loved the links to Chapter One and hope Frogware will continue with this storyline of new Sherlock, even though he wasn’t doing well at the end. The ending left me speechless and with a very uneasy feeling. Insanely good sequel, which I didn’t expect at all!

I miss the old Sherlock games, the ones in which you could actually think about the cases and had different options of conclusions. I see what they're trying to do, and it isn't all that bad, but this linear gameplay just doesn't makes me feel satisfied, I want the possibility to make mistakes.

This is a considerable step down from Chapter One. The puzzles make little sense and often would require brute forcing, and when solved, I could still hardly explain the jump to reason. I'd give this a miss at this price until it comes down considerably.

Far too back in comparison to chapter one.
Maps are limited.
Main story is roughly half length of chapter one.
Too many main story cases remain unanswered.
Side story and quests are only 10% of those in chapter one.
Wardrobe gameplay (costume/disguise) is (almost completely) removed from gameplay.
No more open world gameplay.

The lack of content is sort of justified considering the geopolitical reasons. However, it is not worth its FULL PRICE ($40). Should be a $25 title or less.

Its a fairly good game, the graphics are amazing, but you can see how it was rushed. I bought it in the steam summer sale with high expectations after playing through chapter one and other Sherlock Holmes games by Frogwares, but was kinda disappointed by the way the gameplay differed from Chapter one, as well as how long the game was. It took Frogwares 1 year to develop the game, which will explain it being rushed, but I just feel like it could've been done in a better way, by either making a bigger plot and a longer, better game or by at least decreasing the price, considering the game is the same price as SH Chapter 1, but it's more than twice as short. The game is really easy as well, with no room for mistakes at all, unlike other SH games. The 35% off price right now in the summer sale should be the normal price of the game imo. I can only recommend buying the game when it's on sale

TL;DR - The game was super rushed, twice as short as SH Chapter 1, but the same price, it is impossible to make mistakes making the game too easy. The graphics are beautiful. I recommend buying the game only when it's on sale.

”Elementary, my dear Watson… except this time it’s not”



Sherlock Holmes The Awakened is a remake of an older game going by the same title made by the same studio, Frogwares. At first, my decision to purchase this game at full price was made more out of willingness to support the Ukrainian developers, but after playing through this wonderfully dreadful journey, I think that it was money well spent. I haven’t played detective games before, but this one caught my eye since it featured a dark Lovecraftian mystery, creepy worlds and the famous crime-solving duo. If you love Sherlock Holmes and horror, this delicious mix is something you can’t miss!

Plot


I suppose Holmes and Watson are in no need of an introduction – the genius detective in the first flush of his career and his faithful sidekick, an ex-war doctor, residing in the 221B Baker Street and untangling webs of mysteries together. One case, starting as a random kidnapping, soon evolves into something larger, like one quivering string of a criminal network run by religious fanatics, involving mental asylums, cursed rituals, ancient gods and bloody sacrifices as well as flashes of the ominous Lovecraftian world. For the consistency of the plot, it is recommended that you check out the previous game (Sherlock Holmes Chapter One) where our young detective’s past is unveiled, so you’ll make the most of your time with this adventure and grasp the references embedded in it.

The blooming start of Watson and Holmes’ relationship can be seen in how they interact with one another. Those fleeting moments of togetherness build the foundation of their future and are the utmost delight to watch, especially when Watson sheds light on his time in Afghanistan or consoles Holmes during his episodes of madness. With some silly humor thrown in for good measure, this game isn’t really as desperately dark as it seems at a glance, and it’s amazing that way. With that being said, there are still disturbingly terrifying elements incorporated into the lighter side of the narrative, but it all blends together perfectly, and the ending is satisfying, though a little hasty as everyone keeps saying. But I won’t lie to you; the cut scenes along with the transitions are sometimes so poorly executed that they're bordering on cringey…

Gameplay


In spite of there being quite a few mechanics to learn at the beginning, once you get a hang of them, the game will start flowing smoothly. Sherlock’s intellectual prowess is conveyed through his capability of accessing his mind palace to piece together clues, making close observations of the environment (shown as highlighted objects) and also pulling people apart with glances by choosing the correct character portrait. Sherlock can also ask for help, engage in a few quick time events and access the archives to aid his research, so you have some variety there. There is some trial and error game play, but nothing too frustrating – it’s mostly about presenting the right piece of evidence to a certain person or constructing a logical chain of thought. The good thing for those who enjoy a more relaxing experience is that you can’t actually fail or make any big mistakes (and if you do, you get to try again like nothing happened). The Awakened truly holds a gamer’s hand more in that regard, therefore there are little to no consequences in any of the actions you take.

There are improvements made from the first game, such as the lack of clunky combat or eavesdropping. My only serious complaint about the game is that, despite the beautifully crafted world reflecting the gloomy late 1800s, it lacks content. I don’t mean linearity or small maps, for it feels easier if you’re just navigating from one level to another instead of a confusing open world like in the first one, but rather the soullessness of the locations and the sheer amount of non-interactive objects. What might make the world of dead NPCs feel more alive are the side quests which I highly recommend you to buy as a DLC, otherwise you’ll just walk around pretty yet empty levels in search of that one clue needed to move the main story forward.

Verdict


Although a bit overpriced, you can decide if you want to support the studio behind the game or simply buy it on sale. Considering the circumstances under which the development took place, I say the end product is quite decent, an improvement from the first episode.

Feels like a nice mix of some of the elements of Frogwares most recent two games and the better elements of their older titles such as Crimes and Punishment. so far i am really enjoying this darker mix of Sherlock Holmes. still fairly early but im seeing potential for this to be Frogwares best release yet.

I love the original but I love this one even more. Great atmosphere, upgraded yet faithful to the original. I'm a huge fan of Frogwares Sherlock games but I'd love to see them make more Lovecraftian games too.

The very first side case was already chilling. And a little sad. Perfectly set in the grim darkness of ....Victorian London. Well, I played the original as well a good while ago and I must say I am already hooked with the new interpretation. This already feels like another masterpiece by Frogwares.

After playing the demo and completing the first case from the full game I'm absolutely in love with it.
Beautifully detailed and runs very well on my mid-range laptop.

As with other Sherlock Holmes games by Frogwares, I was really please about the atmosphere, story and overal Holmes topics. This one seems far more than a remake/revamp of the previous Awakened game and I am looking forward to the next chapters of the game.
