Find Hidden Objects: Sherlock review

Find Hidden Objects: Sherlock is the gentlest detective game here. In G5's story, the plots of famous books such as The Hound of the Baskervilles, Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz are changing, and Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson must put them right. For every scene you choose how to play: find hidden objects, or match gems in a row, which helps when you tire of searching. Quests, puzzles and regular free updates with new books add to it, and the game plays offline. The 9+ rating is the lowest on this list. The trade-off is that cases are a literary fantasy rather than realistic crime, and the shop sells crystal packs from $0.99 offers to a $49.99 safe. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not complete every book.
