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.2 found this helpful
Upside: The story and humour is good. It has an "Essence" of Poirot. I can't recommend buying this game (unless on a decent discount) simply because it feels like it's been rushed for release... Really noticeable in quite a few of the dialog scenes; Poirot is talking to one character before another character joins in, but only in dialog, Poirot is just facing the first character while having a conversation with someone standing 5 meters behind him.. The controls are clunky. A few scenes are cut before the characters can finish their sentences. Sometimes the story jumps weirdly, it feels like there are segments that have been roughly cut out in between. And I don't think it's actually possible to fail anything in this game. If you draw a wrong conclusion, you just try another, No consequence whatsoever..
Ta gra mnie cholernie zmęczyła! Fabuła się nie klei, zagadki są w najlepszym razie średnie, zaś niektóre wątki nie mają większego sensu. Projekty postaci są brzydkie, zwłaszcza postać arabskiego geja Poirota, zaś animacje są drewniane. BA! W trakcie dialogów animacja ust często nie występuje, przez co postacie rozmawiają ze sobą z zamkniętymi lub ledwie otwartymi ustami. Do tego brak zębów u niektórych postaci, wytrzeszcz oczu Anastasi, i koszmar gotowy. Wiele problemów z mechanikami, w tym błędy z tym pseudo ekwipunkiem (w rozdziale 6 trzeba przeszukać szafkę w biurze prasowym i wziąć klisze filmu fotograficznego, co uczyniłem, ale kliszy nie uzyskałem) sprawiły, że byłem zmuszony obejrzeć na YT film z rozgrywką, by sprawdzić co robię nie tak (spoiler: nic nie zrobiłem nie tak, po prostu mechanika gry nie zadziałała i nie dostałem kliszy filmu do ekwipunku). Ogólnie NIE POLECAM Wam tego tytułu, moi drodzy gracze, gdyż o większości wątków dotyczących sprawy dowiecie się w trakcie finału, po ujawnieniu przestępcy, który sam Wam o tym opowie, gdyż w trakcie gry nie było na to czasu, bo trzeba było znaleźć kota grubiańskiego biskupa. Moja ocena: 1/5 This game really wore me out!…
Seems to have been created by people who understand neither computer games nor detective stories. It's not an interesting story by Christie standards and it's not fun to play. Deduction games are tricky because it has to be challenging to pair the right clues but still fair--they totally missed the mark on this one.
THIS GAME WAS SO BORING UNTIL THE LAST 15 MINTUES. NOT WORTH PAY FULL PRICE!!
This game can be considered a sequel to The First Cases, although it's a standalone as the story goes. It's off to a slow start, but once you hit Chapter 1, the story gets interesting. There isn't much puzzle solving in the game (it's mostly mind map, and minimal use of the inventory system), so strapped in for the storytelling. It does resemble a typical whodunnit AC mystery, so enjoy!
