Started the second game immediately after finishing the first one. I thought it would be a sequel with new characters but it is almost directly after the first game. Like the first one there was a good balance between hard and slightly easier puzzles, enough so to make you over complicate easy puzzles. It doesn't hand hold but it does give you clues that point you in the right direction if need be. This was super fun and very creepy, especially the seance. Going to play the third one shortly.

This is a short game. But wow does it pack a punch. Even though you can finish it pretty quickly the puzzles are still so challenging and there is such a good balance between an easy puzzle and a difficult one. The fact that I ended up overthinking a simple puzzle just made it so much more fun. While the game gives hints they are pretty obscure, but also decent enough to actually point you in the right direction. I thoroughly enjoyed this game and have just finished the second game too.

This was a very interesting game! You play mainly as Sherlock Holmes and solve different cases. That, is essentially the plot. But they aren't just murders (well, they all involve murder but sometimes it is the farthest from important.) You investigate the murder of a seaman, a missing train, a murder with no weapon, and even the disappearances of some flowers. This is only the second Frogsware game I have played but I am still very hooked on them.

There are references to other Frogwsware games like, Jack the Ripper, Hound of Baskervilles and The Awakened. The game was super interesting and really got me thinking. It is a game that really does make you feel like a real detective.

Okay. wow I've only just finished the game and wow. I've played many many--- Many detective games. Don't be fooled by the length of this one, this is by far, the hardest detective game I've ever played. It doesn't autofinish a game for you. It doesn't give you any hints. You have to solely rely on your ears. Every question you need to answer is in the dialogue, even if it doesn't seem like it.

To play this game, you have to be a true detective, since like I said, there are no hints, the game doesn't hold your hand. I've played lots of detective games, they make you feel smart, sure. But lots of them give you half of the information you need and also fill in the true answer for you, if you have the information and there is no way to fail. Unheard is not like that, sure it is impossible to actually fail as it just sets you back to the start of the scene, but there is only one way to win and that is to get the answer yourself. They won't give it to you.

An overall great game, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Oh man this game is wild. Like all TellTale games it's funny, witty, all the characters are either super lovable or you want to wring their neck (Plus, Kronk voicing a tyrant? WOW) They kept all the pomp and humour from the original Borderlands games except they put their own, purely TellTale humour into it.

Rhys is a hilarious little dope, unlike the main characters in other TellTale games he is honestly? A bit of a loser, he is dorky, awkward and yet he is also somehow pretty confident. Which is juxtaposed beautifully by Fiona and Handsome Jack, who are confident, sarcastic and ridiculously witty (remember Jacks diamond pony everyone)

This game is just a lot of fun and it has me smiling all the way through even when I want to punch a hole through my screen. I just love TellTale games.

Okay this is going to be a confusing review.

I'm a huge fan of escape rooms, mind games, twists and so on. The plot does unveil the further you go through it and its a very interesting story. You like some characters more than others and some of the plot is a little on the obvious side, but because of how convoluted the actual game play is I'd say it was a good thing as you would be too focused on the Titanic, or ICE-9 and ALL ICE to pay attention to acual future plot.

Now, I haven't actually finished this portion of the game yet but I am admittedly a little put off. The game includes a flowchart as there are multiple endings like the first game, but this flowchart is HUGE, and to get the main ending of the game you need to get like 7 other endings just to get the code to a computer in the main end ( I know this as I managed to get to the true end first and now have to get all the other endings to do this). So yeah, I'm a bit put off from it,

HOWEVER, The story line so far has been very strong and the relationships between characters feels a lot different in this game. I like pretty much every character too. Like I said its the sheer length of the flowchart and the complicated ways to get each ending that puts me off a little.

I got introduced to the fable franchise through the third game (My brother got me to play it) because of how easy it was I decided to play the second and have only recently been able to play the first. (playing the games backwards seems weird but there's something about this game series that makes it work really well)
While some of the buttons and plots are a little confusing and the game does bug every now and then it is still such a fun game to play.

Oh man, where do I start. I never used to class myself as a gamer and before I got my good computer the most I've gamed is some 16-bit horror games, the sims 4, and pokemon.
I got my good computer and downloaded this game so fast. This was the first game I played that really piqued my interest in more realistic, heavily story based games. The characters are all so lovable, it has a fantastic cast (Including Clancy Brown who is my favourite actor and played Hank to perfection). I'm used to seeing games with starkly different endings but to have a game that has different endings for every single scene? Wow.

So, it took me ages to get around to playing this as I'm not a fan of point and click games. What is helpful to note is that there is a first person POV, I didn't realise this until close to the end of the game. It definitely has the charm of an older game but it was very enjoyable to play when I got around to it. It is almost completely factually correct except Jack the Ripper was Left handed and not Right handed like the game states but I'm assuming it is to give the game an ending as opposed to leaving it as a cold case since Sherlock wouldn't do that.
This was the first Frogware game I have ever played and I now have every Frogsware Sherlock game they have released so that has to mean something about how good this game is.
Is it cheesy? Yes, but that just makes them so much better in my opinion. They integrated reality and fiction really well in this game and I'm happy I was able to experience this.

So this is the first ever horror game I have ever played and I am so happy I was able to finish it. I was really worried there would be a lot of chase scenes where you would have to control the characters movement (Like Poppy Playtime) but if you have the same issue as me you don't need to worry as every chase scene is just a set of QTE's

The story, if you're a casual player is pretty simple to follow compared to some of their other entries too. There are a couple of visual glitches I have come across but they did nothing to ruin the game. (Well, other than the fact that I failed a keep calm because I was laughing over Mark being stuck in a permanent T-pose).

All in all I thoroughly enjoyed playing it for myself and it is definitely one of those games you need to play for yourself to appreciate it. Great bit of fun, good soundtrack, and scary enough to be proud of yourself if you don't play horror games.
