Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Notes
With all due respect to Batman, Sherlock Holmes, and Nancy Drew, Hercule Poirot might be our favorite fictional detective. Agatha Christie’s dapper Belgian sleuth shines in this wonderfully well-produced adventure game, dripping with visual atmosphere and puzzles that require true deductive thinking. Outsmarting an uncooperative witness or piecing together a tricky clue had us bellowing a triumphant, “Oui oui!”
Very good
Good game. Amazing graphics. Attention to details. Very interesting story. Reconstruction part is fantastic. The voice over is amazing.
Things I found annoying: You can’t save the game and when the app goes to the background in some sequence it brings you back to the beginning of this sequence. The achievements and trophies are nice for young ages but older find it childish. You should give it as an option. It damage the serious aspect of the game. The ego points are also useless. When reviewing people the third thing disappears too quick and you can’t read what it was. When deducing based on clues the conclusion disappears to fast and can’t be read. In deduction screens sometime he questions but are vague like “what do we know if A” where almost all answers can be true but the game is looking for one of two out of 8.
Things to improve: the game is too much pushing the player into the right direction and doesn’t give option to be totally mistaken in the investigation. Just like the graphical reconstruction it would have been nice to have a text broader reconstruction of the serious of events. It’s hard to follow especially if you don’t play the game same day and if there are many names.
Really wanted to love this...but slow & buggy
Proceed with caution before buying this game. As background, I really really really love Poirot and have read all of the novels Dame Christie wrote with our favorite Belgian detective. Was so stoked to play this game I jut bought it straight away.
The game has its merits: challenging puzzles, glamorous English pre WWII scenery, costumes and architecture, twist ending for those that aren't familiar with the story. Hell, I guess the price was worth it just to explore Poirot's fabulous Whitehaven apartment mansion in post WWI London!
The cons: often times the puzzles are challenging Because the programming of touchscreen "hotspots" are poorly done, and often not responsive on an iPhone 6 screen, perhaps it works better on a laptop or iPad. Slow load times of the game, new scenes and frequent crashing starting in the third murder scene's mansion were highly disappointing and really detracted from my enjoyment of this game. Plus, when you move to another active app for an indeterminate amount of time (as everyone does when playing games on a mobile phone), the game has to restart and you often lose your progress.
I give it 4stars only out of my love for all things Agatha Christie, frankly the game gets a C minus.
That being said, if they fix the bugs and make more Poirot or even Miss Marple or Tommy & Tuppence games I would be all over it...but only if they functioned better.
