Overall, a "Meh" experience
So I bought this game at a discount even when I'm aware of the reviews for this game. I thought as a hardcore detective genre fan for the like of Poirot, Holmes, Edogawa, etc I can tolerate the shortcomings of this game. I was wrong. First of all I actually never read the ABC murder so I came to this game pretty fresh storywise but in the end it's it's still pretty underwhelming and the plot twist can be seen from a mile away. It's like the screenwriter for this game watched too much BBC's Sherlock and trying to be clever like the series but ended up with half baked story. For the gameplay, it also felt underwhelming. The puzzles are too easy and felt unnecessary. Hercule Poirot, compared to Sherlock rely more on dialogues and character buildings to create the mystery and twists. For them to use cheap easy puzzles to pad this game felt a bit too insulting for Poirot fans (except the grey cells part). And don't forget about the character interface. It felt like cheap mobile game where we are required to find some stuff by tapping around. Also Poirot looks like an awkward penguin when he's walking around. For God sake people Poirot is kinda portly but not overwhelmingly fat! The replayability is weak. The game keep reminding me that it got 50 trophies to gain but to be honest after finishing the game I have no desire to replay the game again. There's no smart or witty dialogue to keep me interested and Hastings and Poirot banter was supposed to be the glue that keep reader to stay. But in this game Hastings sounds like a spoiled teen. On the other hand pros are: Great artwork for this game, great dubbing and the grey cell part actually a highlight for this game as it's actually a good way to show how Poirot mind work. This is why I still give it 3 stars than 2 stars. If felt like I'm watching a TV movie about the ABC murder story. It's just okay and you can see the budget limitation everywhere.
