Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot: The London Case

The second Poirot game by this developer. It is fine. The deductions are not logical at some times. The voice acting is okay. At times the lines are incorrectly marked in the subtitles either as inner monologue or as dialogue. Or as the wrong character. Or they are not said at all. Or the dialogue selection is shown as subtitle. Object selection is not great. Sometimes I did know what the solution was but had no clue on how to get there in the way the game wanted. The final solution did not make any sense to me. Get it on sale if you are really in a pinch to get a detective game. Otherwise get another game, which might not be the easiest thing to come by. Score: 5/9

The game they released before this one and after this one had controls that were more smooth. The clunkiness of the movements in this one really takes away from the playability. Buy all the other Poirot games though, they're worth it.

The gameplay feels clunky and I can't get in to the story like previous Christie games

非常不推荐。。。体验感非常差。隐藏线索的对话只能过第一遍（比如重要的名字啥的），还有主教和NPC在A房间，搜完了之后往下推，大家都到B房间了，主角回一趟到A房间居然NPC也倒退回去了...........还有跑图，有的可能A场景卡住推不下去了需要去另B场景，一点提示没有要挨个去排（这个我感觉其他游戏其实也有），还有思维导图每个线索之间的逻辑性也很奇怪，还有别的......总之打折买的就觉得还行吧。很难想象2023年的游戏做成这样。但是这个题材本来就很冷门又有原创，可能资金不足吧。作为波洛粉心情很复杂。可能这个游戏能做出来就已经很不容易了

It's BAAAAAAD. Don't spend money on this game. Don't spend your time on this game. Not even if you're a detective game buff, not even if it's on sale for super cheap. I regret the 9ish hours of my life I put in to this absolute stinker, and so will you. The writing is terrible and boring, the plot is incoherent and incompetently delivered, the puzzles are stupid and arbitrary, the mind map linkages and clues are obtuse and jarring, the pacing is wack, it's a mess from start to finish. A massive step backwards in every respect from "The First Cases" (which came out first! and was itself pretty bad, save for a few charming touches and an overall not-as-terrible level of polish).

I completed the game 100% in two sittings, but honestly I feel it has more downsides than good elements. Downsides: - I really dislike the game design choice of blocking paths that never open later, why even create those possibilities of route then? - Fast travel system via the map didn’t make much sense to me and felt unnecessary most of the time. - There are multiple wrong descriptions during assignments with Hastings, incorrect object descriptions and even wrong names in some places. - The Polish translation is not the best. - Some texts are dubbed some not, also audio often bugs out, mostly during skipping dialogues. - The riddles are very linear - you can’t really think outside the box, because the game expects very specific links in form of main character's "gray cells" (just like other titles in the series). - Controls feels stiff. - At one point I even had to solve something the game had already revealed earlier or was very black&white to me. - Dialogues are stiff too, Hastings often makes weird, fixed comments that don’t really match the situation. - Unfortunately, I have a feeling this is the worst Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot game I’ve played so far. However, don't get me wrong, I really liked the plot and twists in the plot. Good sides: - Surprisingly the shadows and reflections are very well done. - The museum design was cool. - Meeting Zakariya from another game was a cool.

Pretty fun, I like that it includes nods to the previous entry. Found some changes to be a bit strange, like rotating the stages rather than zooming in and out. Also had some difficulty with some sections as it was very unclear what the game wanted me to do, especially when first discovering i could access a fast travel system. Not as good as ABC or First Cases, but still neat

Gorąco polecam, zaskakujące zakończenie.

Idealna gra dla wszystkich miłośników twórczości A. Christie

Si te gusta Agatha Christie es una historia más que merece la pena, aunque la recomiendo rebajada. No me parece que sea el mejor juego ni de lejos y es extremadamente fácil pues si te equivocas el juego te da facilidades para continuar (no hace falta ni guía, tal vez si te olvidas de alguna pista). Por lo demás está entretenido. Tiene algunos bugs de desplazamiento así que le doy un 6/10.
