Agatha Christie - The ABC Murders

This game is VERY VERY buggy and has super slow pacing, at times it feels like a chore just to get through certain parts if it's not crashing. I can't even complete the game because of a bug, and it just locks me in the sequence and crashes, no matter how many times I try to reload my save.. or contact support. The puzzles aren't great, a bit too easy in my opinion as if tossed in to be tossed in. I don't recommend this game, and not worth $15.

Pretty decent so far, it stick to the original story as far as I know. A huge negative are the add in puzzles that have nothing to do with solving the murder cases. They're just there to pad times, but are quite frustrating at times. I'd suggest using guide to solve those as they add nothing to the story. Still, overall enjoyable.

Hours Played: not nearly enough ( solving puzzles, admiring my moustache) Recommended? YES Personal Award: “Majestic Moustache” Bought this game thinking it is a calm detective story. Instead, I got Hercule Poirot sass-slapping suspects with his Belgian accent and solving crimes using 80% logic and 20% eyebrow raises. You play as Poirot, who is essentially Sherlock Holmes if Holmes had sarcasm. At one point, I spent 15 minutes trying to open a drawer because I didn't "observe it from every possible angle of the known universe." Poirot wouldn’t dare touch it until I had admired literally every molecule of the wood grain. But I can live with that. PROS: X Poirot’s voice is smoother than a Belgian chocolate truffle X The puzzles make you feel smart (until you realize you’ve been trying to use a shoehorn on a typewriter) X Elegant murder mystery vibes - no gore, just smug glances CONS: X Occasionally gets stuck in a doorframe like a gentlemanly Roomba X Poirot judges you for clicking the wrong thing .. and I felt that in my soul SUMMARY: It’s like Clue had a baby with a PBS special and raised it in a French art museum. 10/10 would accuse someone dramatically over tea again.

A fun little mystery game! Nothing too special or memorable in my opinion, but if you like mysteries, Agatha Christie stories, or point and click games, you'll probably enjoy it.
