The ABC Murders is an adventure and investigation game adapted from the classic Agatha Christie novel. The player embodies the famous Hercule Poirot in a 3rd person perspective adventure game packed with mysteries. Once again, the private detective will find himself up against a mysterious opponent who goes by the name of "ABC". Your intelligence will never have been so challenged!
You will have to explore many crime scenes in various cities set in beautiful surroundings across the United Kingdom. Leave no stone unturned when it comes to cross examinations and deadly puzzles!
Observe, question and explore everything possible in order to make the smartest deductions and understand the murderer’s plans!
Examinations: The player can collect information by examining suspects and paying attention to what they say, how they say it and how they feel.
Puzzles: The player will have to solve puzzles in order to obtain more clues.
Little Grey Cells: Depending on the clues collected, the player will be able to make deductions and find out more about the murderer.
Timeline: As the player draws conclusions and progresses through the story, he can use Poirot's Timeline. This means that Hercule Poirot can build a timeline with all the relevant events revealed during the investigation.
Good game , clever and fun with a very nice graphic style ... May be a bit short but if you speack with everyone you'll find new paths ... enjoy it s a nice game a bit like a real interactive comic boook ...
The game started interestingly enough for someone who loves puzzles like I do. But it got tedious very quickly. The skill level required for the puzzles is very basic and they don't get any harder as the game progresses. I kept expected the levels to increase in difficulty but it never came. Very boring
It's more like an interactive movie - all is set, all is linear, there is no room to get stuck, and most of the game is, well, unnecessary - that counts for inspecting suspect that tells you, what you allready knew, all the "ego points", you will never use, "moustaches" and other archievement gained for things you have to do to progress... I think the game could be best descibed by the "riddle" where you compare letters - it is a nice idea, but it is very easy and you have to do it multiple times for no reason. Same goes for the mind net.
If you do not know the story - the game could be interesting for you, because it follows the book with just little to none changes. But if you do know it, there is like no reason for you to play - there is not even an alternative ending like in the previous Agatha Christie games.
The Good: Story (if you do not know is allready), subtle background music, atmosphere, voices (mostly), background graphics
The Bad: Too easy, not really a game, no challenges, artificially prolonged content, hollow, constant annoying pop-ups
The Ugly: Face animations, voices (some)
The game seems nice, as expected of Microids, story is interesting and puzzles while fairly easy are entertaining. However 9% into it I run into a game breaking bug where I couldn't click the item I needed to progress and since the game autosaves there was nothing I could do other than restart.
A series of easy mini games that gets a little harder in the end or it seemed that way because I have lost interest. I would only suggest this game for your child to play as entry point to adventure games.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
