Excellent !

Hercule Poirot, le plus grand détective privé au monde, mène l'enquête dans deux affaires inédites; et c'est une réussite ! Image. - Le graphisme et la direction artistique sont de bonne qualité. En effet, on baigne dans l'univers de cette époque, tant par les décors que par les personnages, mais aussi de par les animations (bien qu'assez simplistes). Audio. - Le doublage est très qualitatif et juste. - Les musiques collent parfaitement, bien qu'elles soient un peu trop effacées dans certains aspects du jeu (mais c'est logique). Gameplay. - À la manette ou au clavier/souris, le gameplay est très rapide à prendre en main. En même temps il n'est vraiment pas compliqué à comprendre, car on peut dire en vulgarisant, que l'on est un peu dans un "point and clic". Contenu. - Il faudra, en prenant son temps, compter entre 10 à 12 heures pour voir la fin des deux enquêtes. Toutefois, et même si ces enquêtes sont assez linéaires, le jeu s'offre une certaine rejouabilité de par les phases d'audition (à choix multiples) des suspects, et du fait que l'on ne peut revenir en arrière si on a fait une erreur. - Il faudra aussi mettre nos petites cellules grises à l’épreuve, afin de connecter les indices dans la "carte mentale". Celle-ci permet de visualiser les indices et de les associer entre eux, pour en tirer les conclusions. L'affaire criminelle est complexe, et comme toujours, derrière les apparences trompeuses se cache un lourd secret. - Pour les fans, il y a les trophées et des concepts art à débloquer (évidemment en jeu). En bref. Je doutai au début même si j'adore les enquêtes et l'univers de Hercule Poirot, mais j'ai finalement dévoré ce jeu ! Néanmoins, "Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot : The First Cases" s'adresse aux aficionados du genre et de cet univers.

Do you like Poirot?

well this game has Poirot lol :D it's not exactly a traditional point and click adventure game though. It's more of an interactive Poirot story. The gameplay consists of checking out the environment for clues and interviewing people. You don't pick stuff up, you don't combine items, you don't do any puzzle minigames, with one exception. Poirot solves everything with his genius brain, so to progress in the game you have to connect the right clues in the mind map to unlock new ideas, connections between evidence, and new options for questioning the suspects. So that's the only sort of puzzle you do in the game. In the easy mode if you make wrong connection three times the evidence that can be connected to something starts flashing, so you can't really get stuck. If you pay attention and go through the investigation properly you might even get a better ending. If you want to enjoy a Poirot story then you'll get that with all the twists and turns of a Poirot story, although whether the walking around that extends the gameplay time is for the better or worse, I don't know, but imho it becomes a bit of a chore . If you want to shuffle inventory items around then you won't get that, because this really isn't that kind of a game. Also, this is obviously not the short and pudgy David Suchet Poirot, so too bad if you were looking for that. :D

Different, but still fun

The last game — The ABC Murders — was really one of my favorites and got my hooked on this series. Although the gameplay and visual style ended being quite different from what I expected, it was still just as engaging and fun to play. If the last game was focused on finding evidence and solving puzzles, this one placed greater emphasis on interrogating suspects and drawing conclusions based on what you know. There are some annoying bits, like having to constantly press a key to continue a long conversation, but it didn't detract from the experience that much. Even though I do wish that the puzzles with "complex mechanisms" (requiring you to find hidden evidence in various contraptions) from the last game weren't completely removed, this game is really enjoyable with a compelling story to boot. I definitely recommend this game.

Disappointing

I want to like this, but there's not enough actual gameplay. The mind-map element just ends up being trial and error to find what fits. I wish it actually made me feel like a detective, but it ends up like just throwing whatever at the wall to see if it works. Also, the writing is a bit lazy and anachronistic. I don't think anyone of the period the game was set in would say they were "blown away" by something.

Quite compelling title

The experience is quite close to the books' experience: ONE big case, divided in chapters. Don't let the screeshots put you down: the somehow rigid isometric environment, the clunky animations, the visuals don't do the game justice. As for the gameplay, it's the combination of a VERY WELL WRITTEN visual novel, with the easy brain racking of mapping the thoughts of the protagonist (not unlike Crimes & Punishments for example). The Voice acting is solid, and it's mostly about the story. As an added bonus, this story was written with the "usual" specific themes of Hercule Poirot in mind: Aristocrat way of life, the class divide, money, family secrets and love stories. Well, this one checks all the boxes, I think agatha would be proud. If you are looking for a deep story with light gaming moments, this is for you. I enjoyed it, I hope you will too.
