Instead of arm wrestling or rope bridges, a lot of balance beams and running from being shot at. The mini-games are also more action oriented.
Like the previous games there is an option to skip the mini-games, which is good if you don't feel like doing them but it does feel like the developers knew they were bad mini-games and that is why they have a skip button. Most are balancing games with making sure both thumb sticks are in their own circle, as opposed to the eaves drop mini-game where they have to be in the same circle. Now they are very much winnable, but just annoying instead of feeling broken. In the previous game they felt like broken and sometimes unwinnable challenges. The biggest positive is that the mini-games have been updated. This game like the rest of the franchise was made by Frogwares and came out in 2016, two years after Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments. After I beat Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments I decided to dive right into the next game in the series(but somehow isn't next chronologically).
