    • Improved pain points, but still short
Platform For Display: Nintendo Switch Edition: Agatha Christie
This game improves upon the first in many ways. It's easier and feels more natural to move Hercule around. Having the grey cells screen instead of some of the puzzling elements of the first game made the story progress a little more smoothly. The grey cells screen also helps you out by telling you when a connection can be made. There was a couple times when I completed everything I could see and was at a loss for what to do to make the story continue, but as the story is pretty linear that was solved by talking to everyone I could find and going in and out of every room. There's not much repayability once you've solved the murder. I haven't read the books, but I was expecting a few more dead bodies. Because of the shortness of the first case, the second one seemed very long. It made the pacing seem a little jarring. Ultimately it is still a rather short game. I did personally enjoy it, but I'm glad I got it on sale ... show more

    • Working My Little Gray Cells
Platform For Display: Nintendo Switch Edition: Agatha Christie
I went into this game with no knowledge and was surprise by addictive it was. “Hercule Poirot: The First Cases” centers around, of course, Detective Hercule Poirot. As Poirot, you explore the environment, finding clues. Then you can talk to characters to get more information. With certain clues, you will access the ‘mind map.’ This is where you take the information and clues and matched them up for deductions. The mind map was the bane of my existence at the start. I recommend working on your mind map as soon you get deductions. If you let it go for too long, it is so hard to figure out what was the important clue. The game was fully voiced by a great cast, except when Poirot was thinking to himself and asking a question. There was no lag. The loading times weren’t bad. The story was pretty linear but I did find the mystery still entertaining. Just check everything and you will be fine. I guess my only gripe would be how short it was. I finished it in about 10-15 hours. I wanted more. If you are a fan of Nancy Drew, mysteries in general and visual novels, this will be up your alley. I would highly recommend. ... show more

    • Very fun and engaging mystery game!
Platform For Display: Nintendo Switch Edition: Agatha Christie
Review Image by S.Lane
I thoroughly enjoyed this game and storyline! You play as Poirot and collect clues and talk to involved people to solve a crime. My only complaint - hence the 4 stars, is that you only play one crime and that's it. I would have found the game to be perfect had it been more expansive...especially for the money you pay for it. I'd love to see numerous crimes to choose from for gameplay, but maybe in the future! Otherwise, this game is very fun and it doesn't go too fast. With my daily schedule, I took a good few days to get through the story. Highly recommend to lovers of Agatha Christie/Poirot novels!!! ... show more

I loved this game! It was so fun to play Hercule Poirot, and interview the other characters in the game. The settings were perfect and plots reflected a true Agatha Christie mystery. I hope they make another Poirot game like this one soon!!!

    • Still working on it
Platform For Display: Nintendo Switch Edition: Agatha Christie
I’m new to playing these puzzle games and I feel like this one is not very intuitive when you need a ‘clue’. I’m still working on it and planning to look for some youtube videos to get some help, but I absolutely hate getting stuck in the game and feeling like there is no where to go for a hint when you can’t figure it out. ... show more

It's okay, fast game play. Not very mystery/hidden objects as I would like

    • Extremely boring...
Platform For Display: Nintendo Switch Edition: Agatha Christie
This game was a stroll through a frustrating blasé landscape. There is zero action and the puzzles are very non linear. It has clunky controls and I simply could not get into it. It honestly reminds me of a bad puzzle game designed for a mobile phone.
