Will Sherlock be able to leave behind his past in Cordona, save many victims along the way, and form a stronger bond than those from his past?
As a preamble for the review, it's worth mentioning that Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened is not a direct sequel to Sherlock Holmes Chapter One. Due to the war in Ukraine, which has affected Frogwares, the team has delayed their next open-world title in favour of a compact entry into the series. This is all a very convoluted way to say that Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened was not even planned. As such, this review will judge the game by its development conditions and time.
This new chapter into the Sherlock Holmes remake explores Frogwares' new take on Sherlock Holmes by amalgamating it with a previous title, Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened (2008). In this experience, Sherlock Holmes and John Watson will tackle gruesome killings to raise Cthulhu, H. P. Lovecraft's notorious terror of the seas. These nightmare-like murders represent the first significant case that the dynamic duo will face, growing their bond forevermore by experiencing shared horrors.
