Oct 19, 2023Agatha Christie - Murder on the Orient Express is a narrative adventure with puzzle interludes, which will appeal to Poirot fans, old and new, thanks to a good retelling of the original novel and a valuable final addition that expands on the familiar story. It's not meant for those who want a complex detective title to squeeze their little gray cells into, nor for those who want a state-of-the-art graphical presentation, but if you know what you're getting into you'll hardly be disappointed.

Oct 18, 2023Agatha Christie - Murder on the Orient Express is an impressively entertaining and unique spin on the classic mystery story even if our moustachioed hero, Hercule Poirot, is more serious than I'd like him to be.

Oct 18, 2023Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express modernizes a classic. However, the original additions have not always managed to convince us. From the new character, to an ending written almost entirely from scratch, Microids creates an experience that could convince, if it weren't for the extreme ease with which it approaches the case. You will have to take the adventure, therefore, for what it is: an accessible product but without flashes of brilliant design.
