Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishment
Games Like L.A. Noire If You’re Looking for Something Similar
As you’d expect from a game with the Sherlock Holmes name, the majority of Crimes and Punishment revolves around exploring crime scenes and examining clues, much like in L.A. Noire. There’s no shootouts or car chases through the streets of late 19th century London, but you’ll find plenty to enjoy if you loved the detective moments of Rockstar’s game.
Split into six cases, the game sees you examine crime-scenes, linking pieces of information together with the use of a ‘deduction board.’ How each case plays out is determined by how you interpret the clues, with each one having a possible 3-5 conclusions. The cases are well designed and the process of deciphering the clues is fun, with the game certainly being a great choice if you’re after something that’ll scratch that L.A. Noire detective itch.
