Everything is such a chore with this game.
I have played many RPGs, but never felt like I needed to study to play. Feels like I have to get a boring law degree first before I can actually play it. Little is instinctive, like with most other games. I like the idea of making new items, but if you want to do something with them in the menu, you literally have to scroll past hundreds of items before you find one that you might want to use for certain purposes.
The characters are somewhat okay and nice. Not a lot of depth with most of them. Two you get late in the game and their storyline is more tell than actually show.
The one amazing part is the setting. It doesn't compensate for the rest.

I love Escape Rooms and this felt like one. Only, this also added the great acting abilities of the main characters and their interactions.
It wasn't just about the puzzles, but also the emotions of a family that is used to pretend they don't have any.
If you run entirely on intellect, where is the emotion?
Here it was.
Also, dealing with a villain that is not on the same level as Sherlock (like Moriarty), but goes even beyond Mycroft when it comes to being intelligent but seemingly devoid of any empathy was fascinating.
It was interesting to see a situation where, save for Watson, Sherlock being the one closest to a normal human being.

Back when GoT came out, I was looking forward more to the Borgias and saw GoT as a side dish to just check out. I didn't expect much.
How things have changed! Despite the well-known disappointment of Game of Thrones last season(s), I was looking forward to this a lot. The source material is finished and they had likely learned from their mistakes.
I absolutely love this! There's intrigue, many more dragons, Matt Smith and a ton of other great actors.
But yes, Matt Smith and his character are stealing the show. They've already treated us with a battle.
The one thing I'm not enthusiastic about is Otto Hightower. People call him a mix between Tywin and Little Finger, but both those characters entertained me. Otto hasn't done that yet.
