Sherlock Holmes The Mystery of the Persian Carpet Review



I've been in a Sherlock Holmes mood ever since I bought the complete Sherlock Holmes collection on Steam in 2020.  Now that I've had time to sit down and play these games, I thought it would be great idea to start by playing some of the Sherlock Holmes games that I never played before.  Sherlock Holmes The Mystery of the Persian Carpet was developed and published by Frogwares in 2008.  The Mystery of the Persian Carpet was one of the first casual Sherlock Holmes games produced by Frogwares.  So let's get started!

Phasmophobia Review


"So, whose ready for a ghost hunt?"  I know that I wasn't when I started up Phasmophobia since I am absolutely terrified of scary games, but with the idea of ghost hunting I just new that I need to go and investigate the different type of ghosts haunting the homes and other locations in the game.  Just like most, I first saw this game when a group of streamers that I watch play this game other and I though it would be fun to try out for myself.  Phasmophobia was released by Kinetic Games on September 18, 2020.  So let's get started!

Assassin's Creed Valhalla PS4/PS5 Custom Controls


After jumping into Assassin's Creed Valhalla for the first time, I came upon a really big issue when playing the game, and that was I had a super hard time figuring out the controls for the game and remembering which buttons to use. These controls were so different I knew I needed to find a change for them. With that, my goal was to try and look online for the best set of custom controls for Valhalla. However, I hit a road block of only finding custom controls for the Xbox One. Since I'm a PS4/PS5 user, I hoped into Odyssey and went to work on creating the best PS4/PS5 custom for Valhalla. So for todays post, I have decided to share with everyone the best control settings for Valhalla based on Odyssey's Alternative control setting. So let's get started!
*This post has since been updated with new custom settings.  Assassin's Creed Valhalla PS4/PS5 Custom Controls Updated August 2021 with my latest changes which allow you to fish and throw objects.*


Assassin's Creed Valhalla Custom Control's





Out of all the controls I found that these settings seemed to work the best for me and I hope these will work for you as well.  I know that there are possibly some issues with these settings but I have yet to experience them myself, but if there are any please let me know and I will look into it.

Even though these controls are nearly perfect and identical to Assassins Creed Origin/Odyssey, there is one bug that I’m ran into with these controls... throwing objects you pick up in the game is literally impossible! The only way I was able to t
hrow things is by pressing L2 and the triangle button at the same time but it’s finicky and doesn’t always work, about 99.9%, of the time.  But that only means you need to get creative when throwing explosives or objects but other than that there are some fairly easy work arounds.  This also makes it impossible to fish but then, that’s fine for me since I don’t like the fishing mechanic.

Thank you everyone for reading! I hope that these custom controls I've set up work for you as well as they have worked for Daniella and I. I would highly recommend that if you know someone who is facing similar issues when it comes to PS4/PS5 controls for Valhalla that you share my post with them so that they can get back into the wonderful world of Assassin's Creed Valhalla as I know that people have been looking for these.  If you want look for some game recommendations, you can also check out my Games Review page.

Until next time,
