Sherlock Holmes and The Hound of The Baskervilles

Every few games Frogwares decides to pivot into a hidden object game for some reason. It doesn't feel very 'Sherlock Holmes' but, if you know what you're expecting, it's a good time. The puzzles are generally interesting, and the plot is enjoyable, if a bit silly. Some of the powers that you unlock feel kind of goofy, but they aren't used so much as to become annoying.

I haven't played many games in the hidden object genre since I was in grade school, but Sherlock Holmes and The Hound of The Baskervilles would have been adored by my younger self.
