    What a pleasure to find Hercule Poirot in a new investigative game. I loved The First Cases. It took me about ten hours to finish the story, which is very interesting. Hastings is great, as are the characters in the game, and London is very well portrayed! On the technical side, the gameplay is intuitive and much improved on First Cases.

    I enjoyed my time with 'The London Case.' It brilliantly captures the essence of Agatha Christie's iconic detective. The storyline is packed with twists, the puzzles are engaging, and the attention to detail in the environment is impressive. A must-play for mystery enthusiasts!

    The London Case occupies a strange sort of middle ground — it wants to facilitate player freedom, while at the same time telling a focused point-and-click story with little room for deviation. Perhaps it would have functioned better as a more pure narrative experience – a visual novel, for instance. It certainly would have been easier to avoid the technical hiccups in that case!

    Hercule Poirot: The London Case is a mixed bag for fans of Agatha Christie and adventure games. They will be thrilled to put the little Belgian detective through his paces once again, but the mystery itself doesn’t fully satisfy.

    Playing through Hercule Poirot: The London Case can be a reasonably pleasurable experience for fans of Christie's works, as the writers at Blazing Griffin carry the torch with respect. For every area where the game succeeds, however, it features an awkward limitation or stumbling block to match. Not every mystery game can be Return of the Obra Dinn or Screen Rant's 2022 GOTY Pentiment, but it's a bit of a shame that the deductive experience of Nancy Drew titles outdoes the Belgian detective's own process. Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot: The London Case is another gesture at what a great Poirot game could look like that ultimately misses the mark.
