Arguably the best games starring the world’s most famous fictional detective, Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes 1 and 2 are similar: while the plot, writing, graphics, are all first-rate, most puzzles- especially the just-click-and-watch lab sequences in Serrated Scalpel- “lead” you to their solutions without requiring much thought. Fortunately the sequel Rose Tattoo boasts better puzzles and graphics, and a much longer plot. Holmes’ fans will enjoy untangling both the Jack-the-Ripper-lookalike mystery, and the Diogenes Club bombing in which Holme’s brother, Mycroft, is mortally wounded. Despite banal puzzles that hardly merits the attention of the world’s foremost detective, the games’ well-written plot and faitthful recreation of Holmesian London make the games worthwhile. So come, Watson, the game’s afoot!
