Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders Reviews
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!
I associate Agatha Christie with a paciness and lightness of touch. It was there in this game at brief intervals but would then get obscured again as a scene dragged on for too long or you had to hover your mouse over a cigarette someone was holding AND a box of matches AND an ashtray in order to deduce they were a smoker. Eventually it just felt like the interactive elements stopped being a mild diversion and became an obstruction.
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.
