Less puzzle loaded and more clues and plot oriented, the game helps you keep track of the case by reviewing the main topics discovered at the end of each day. Also, the backgrounds are imensely developed, and so are the voice acting and speech of the characters. What a change from the shabby Mystery of the Mummy.. It's better than Mystery of the Mummy, but still it doesn't add up for a nice gameplay. The Silver Earring relies heavily on dialogues. (Well, at least they improved voice acting)After an hour of walking around and talking with some funny NPCs, I got bored eventually. There are almost no puzzles, it's just walking and talking, walking and talking... And that's not how I want to play a puzzle game.The Silver Earring would have been nice as a visual novel, if you ignore some technical glitches, but it's below average as a puzzle game.I could recommend this game only to patient old-school detective story lovers; for everyone else - there are better games in the genre.For example, Syberia 1 & 2 go along the same style, but are much better executed.My overall rating 5/10.. I enjoyed this, it was challenging, to say the least. I had to use walkthrough many times, since I just wanted to continue futher. The story was interesting, but some of the quizzes were too hard and annoying to pass.. What could have been a really engaging story, with decent puzzles to keep the player engaged and provide a sense of participation/accomplishment, is unfortunately let down rather badly by poor game mechanics and puzzle choices. It is generally not possible to progress from an area until you have discovered every single clue there is, which is fair, but in that case those clues should be easier to find (with the difficulty resting on the subsequent puzzles and deductions). What this game does is leave the player furiously scrabbling for walkthroughs, or in my case, several walkthroughs, to find the answers to puzzles that are not just hard, but outright nonsensical. In one case, every walkthrough I have found simply gave up and brute-forced the answer through repeat tries.Unfortunately this all culminated in a stealth scene that, if failed, fails the entire game (which is a bit steep for a game without autosaves, didn't I mention? SAVE OFTEN!). Maybe it was the conversion to newer systems with expanded graphics, but character movements glitch through, over and behind objects, and this seems to have disrupted the mechanics of that scene, making it impossible to succeed, even when following walkthroughs to the letter. As such, the game was unplayable beyond that point, which I am told is about halfway through.So unless you see indications that these problems have been fixed, save yourself the expense... and the pain of an endlessly looping soundtrack as Holmes combs every square inch of every level with his magnifying glass, seeking THAT one final clue.Elementary, my dear Watson. Don't buy it!. If you get easily salty cos of bad game mechanics then you shouldn't play this game. In general I'd suggest everyone to play this game with a walkthrough of it, so everytime when you get stuck you can check the walkthrough and progress further in the game. I play a lot of detective games and I got stuck a lot of times in this game, cos sometimes you literally have to find a bunch of hair somewhere which you can super easily overlook.And if you reach the point in the game where you have to sneak past a guard and the guard dog: SAVE IMMEDIATELY! Because if you fail to sneak past them, the investigation is over and you have to re-load a save. Since this game does not have autosave, it has happened to me that I forgot to save for quite a while, got caught by the guards and lost progress of almost an hour.And if you reach the point where you're in a forest which is kind of like a maze: SAVE IMMEDIATELY AGAIN! Because the same thing will happen again if you fail this mission.Some of the puzzles did not make any sense to me, even with the help of the walkthrough. And the story can get super confusing at one point cos it's connected with so many side stories and I gotta admit that I lost track of what was happening halfway through the game. Still played it until the end cos I wanted to know who the murderer was. All in all the game wasn't bad. Some mechanics were weird, some puzzles didn't make sense and the story is confusing but it still was an experience and fun to play through it. I'd say buy it when it's on sale so you won't regret spending the whole amount on it (let's be honest, the price is too high).You can finish it within 8-10 hours.. Despite the game being old, it doesn't feel dated at all. It works OK, the resolution is up to 1600x1200 but what can you do and the story is totally amazing!! Lots of plot twists bring you to false conclusions about everything. It's a Sherlock Holmes classic this one.. Typical Sherlock game. Had lots of fun. Some of the cutscenes were a bit lenghty. Make sure to save in this game. There a few points where you will loose all progress if not saved.. Enjoyed pretending I am as elementary a detective as Sherlock but I really am not. Needed a walkthrough to help in some places and some of the movement was frustrating but worth a gander when it's on sale and you're a fan of the more recent Sherlock games.
