The value story
It has been discounted 104 times in the 14 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 80 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today's $0.99 at 90 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
It is pricier than 62 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 68 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Sherlock Holmes versus Jack the Ripper ($0.99, scores 60) and Contradiction: Spot The Liar ($12.99, scores 68) both outscore it.

حلوة فكرة المنظور الأول تعطي طابع جميل جداً لعالم اللعبة وانك تقدر تشوف الاشياء عن كثب بنفسك الان السلسلة بدأت تصير أفضل شوية من ناحية لعبة لكن ما زلت اشوف انها غير مناسبة لأي شخص يحب قصص شارلوك الافضل ماتلعبها لأنها لا زالت قديمة لدرجة مملة ومتكررة من الأجزاء اللي فاتت
More trim than the previous entry in the series; Sherlock Holmes: the Awakened, Nemesis brings the player back to the more traditional detective mystery associated with Sherlock Holmes. Fans may appreciate the writters ability to craft a more long-established mystery formula (with a side jaunt into a story line that was a little frivolous), and enjoy Sherlock's crime solving skills. Rated 7 out of 10.
