Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot: The London Case Reviews
Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot: The London Case has its fair share of issues, but if you're a Poirot fan you'll still get a kick out of it.
I wasn’t a fan of The London Case, admittedly I am not a huge fan of Hercule Poirot outside of live action media though. But for me this game just felt unpolished and perhaps rushed, which maybe it was because as I write this a new Hercule game is set to drop this very week. Again, this is a sequel in a series that I haven’t played so this may be an improvement I don’t know, what I do know is that for someone who enjoys mystery, adventure games The London Case shall remain unsolved for this fledgling detective.
Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot: The London Case is an enjoyable, if unambitious detective yarn. Though its simplicity might fail to stimulate the tactile minds of more practiced video game sleuths, the resolutely relaxed and accessible detective beats on offer mean that newcomers will find few better introductions to the genre and should probably feel free to add a point to the review score below in the process.
Agatha Christie – Hercule Poirot: The London Case is a game that is better looking, bigger and more fun. The developers use the same formula as the previous title, for a game that confirms all the excellent production qualities.

Let's face it: we love to live great stories and feel part of them. Although it is not the main thing in a video game, a good plot will always catch the player for many hours of gameplay. And this Agatha Christie – Hercule Poirot: The London Case achieves this purpose, proposing an exciting and well-written plot, with a multitude of very well planned and not cheating twists, an enviable rhythm, brilliant dialogues and characters that overflow charisma.

Hercule Poirot: The London Case delivers on its promise of a new Agatha Christie-style story in the Poirot universe. While it doesn't have the same level of tricksy, interweaving motives and relationships as Poirot favourites, the story is entirely entertaining nonetheless. However, the game lacks polish to the extent that it's distracting, progress is not always logical and the loading times on Switch are a real problem. For all its charm, you don't have to be a world-class detective to see its flaws.
Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot: The London Case tells a good story starring Detective Hercule Poirot, who, although rejuvenated compared to his expert and moustached version, is equally shrewd, intelligent and charismatic.

The London Case is a better game than the previous on in virtually any expect. It doesn't have the same compelling cast of characters, but its mystery is way more compelling.

Agatha Christie – Hercule Poirot: The London Case follows the patterns of its predecessor and delivers a great mystery plot worthy of the author's best works. With simple mechanics and a shaky look, however, its best qualities are in the way the investigation is conducted and the twists that only good stories of the genre can provide.

The London Case is a successful detective story. Linear, relatively short, technically uninteresting. But we still have a case worth to play.

Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot: The London Case is another enjoyable mystery with great gameplay and a complex storyline that'll keep you guessing. I'm definitely looking forward to Blazing Griffin continuing to improve the series and seeing what they come up with next.
Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot: The London Case is a fun detective story that actually feels like it was written by Agatha Christie. Gameplay and graphics leave much to be desired, though.

I was looking forward to Agatha Christie – Hercule Poirot: The London Case and was not disappointed. I keep seeing complaints about visual and technical bugs, but in my playthrough, I didn’t experience any major once. Now that the movie Haunting in Venice has also emerged, this Autumn is Hercule Poirot’s. And we still have another game coming in October, Murder on the Orient Express, which promises a slightly different take on the story. It’s an excellent time to be a fan of detective games.
Hercule Poirot's newest outing features some charms, but it struggles to maintain a consistent standard of quality across all aspects of the game.
Fans of the Queen of Crime can once again incorporate an inexperienced Poirot in Agatha Christie: Hercule Poirot - The London Case, a new story that lives up to the british writer's narrative style. Even though there are a few blunders here and there, especially [when it comes to] the performance, players looking for an excellent mystery plot will find this to be an excellent adventure able to captivate for hours on end without getting tiresome.

If you’re looking for an opportunity to apply your deductive reasoning skills in search of connections and answers, this delivers
Agatha Christie – Hercule Poirot: The London Case is a solid detective game with easy puzzles. London's atmosphere is missing though and the only thing remarkable about the game's graphics is the horrendous presentation of its characters. The gameplay does it make it a good game for players new to the genre - more experienced players will probably be happy about the easy platinum trophy.
