WTMG’s Heidi Hawes: “Honestly, I was really disappointed by Agatha Christie: Hercule Poirot – The First Cases, especially since I’d been looking forward to it for so long. The story is something any fan of mysteries has seen a hundred times by now. All of the twists you can see coming from a mile away. The deduction system is atrocious and offers nothing aside from an aggravating experience. On top of that, there’s absolutely no challenge, which makes playing it feel almost worthless, especially since you know how the story will end long before it actually does. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but if you’re looking for a Hercule Poirot game, you should play Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders instead. At least that game has fun puzzles and an actual level of challenge.”
