Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders Reviews
While Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders has the right idea in terms of how to best present a murder mystery in video game form, it unfortunately misses the mark. Having to exit the game and come back after completing a few tasks really kills the immersion and flow. I also think not making use of the Switch’s touchscreen was a huge missed opportunity.
I’m sure like myself you have either see a TV adaptation of the Agatha Christie-ABC Murders or one of the many film adaptation of the novel. Or you could have read the novel like I have. While the game does not follow the novel to the letter, it does follow the events closely, to the point where those familiar with the source material will not find many surprises here. Agatha Christie-ABC Murders makes for lighthearted detective fare, where you can give your little grey cells a bit of a workout!
Agatha Christie - The ABC Murders, which recreates the book "The ABC Murders" , is a click and point in an investigation fills with puzzles and interrogations. In general it has a simple premise, but it works. It follows a pattern that makes us feel like a detective, although on more than one occasion it becomes too simple. At an audiovisual level, the game does not stand out much, but what it shows, it does so very willingly, especially the sound pieces. An entertaining game with its pros and cons, which can be enjoyed without much emphasis for approximately 7-8 hours.

If you want a narrative-driven experience, and you already devoured the Telltale Games catalogue, you should try this new alternative. Once you get past its obvious and annoying design flaws, you’ll find yourself facing a diamond in the rough, something truly entertaining.
