This game begins with Sherlock Holmes embarking on a voyage to Cordona with his “brother” Jon. On this island, he mourns for his mother and soon becomes entangled in a mystery based on a rumor that his mother died under different circumstances. On his journey, he reminisces about everything he had done in his childhood in order to find clues and to discover the cause of his mother's demise.

As for the gameplay, you play as Sherlock Holmes, who is not yet known for his exploits and capabilities as a detective but gradually gets acquainted by the police.
Besides for the controls, it can be challenging and confusing because there is a notebook where you store every detailed description of any case and evidence which can be pinned, in order to proceed in this game. I didn't notice it at first and strolled around for about 30 minutes. But once you understand the gameplay, it is easier to get along with the cases.
Furthermore this game is open world and facilitates the exploration by teleportation where the waypoints has to be discovered. Other than that, solving cases resembles the gameplay of previous games of this series.
The story is mostly not really exciting and lacks suspense because of the way these cases are quickly solved.
On the other hand, what they really did well is the music. It is very exotic and captures the essence of a Mediterranean island inhabited by various cultures. It suits greatly on different specific parts of the map.
Visually, it has a high level of detail and it looks stunningly good.

In conclusion, the game lacks in the understanding of the gameplay at the beginning and creating a thrilling theme. But in the end the game is mediocre in a good way capturing a beautiful scenery and music.
