Agatha Christie for Pc

Proceed with caution before buying this game. As background, I really really really love Poirot and have read all of the novels Dame Christie wrote with our favorite Belgian detective. Was so stoked to play this game I jut bought it straight away. The game has its merits: challenging puzzles, glamorous English pre WWII scenery, costumes and architecture, twist ending for those that aren't familiar with the story. Hell, I guess the price was worth it just to explore Poirot's fabulous Whitehaven apartment mansion in post WWI London! The cons: often times the puzzles are challenging Because the programming of touchscreen "hotspots" are poorly done, and often not responsive on an iPhone 6 screen, perhaps it works better on a laptop or iPad. Slow load times of the game, new scenes and frequent crashing starting in the third murder scene's mansion were highly disappointing and really detracted from my enjoyment of this game. Plus, when you move to another active app for an indeterminate amount of time (as everyone does when playing games on a mobile phone), the game has to restart and you often lose your progress. I give it 4stars only out of my love for all things this app, frankly the game gets a C minus. That being said, if they fix the bugs and make more Poirot or even Miss Marple or Tommy & Tuppence games I would be all over it...but only if they functioned better.

I hope they make more of these. I know there’s plenty of people that enjoy this genre as much as I do and in my opinion there should be nothing stopping them from either adding on to the this app cases and detectives, or use the characters/or new characters to create spinoff cases you can buy or put in bonuses.

This was a nice change of pace from the usual point-and-click adventure. Manipulating some of the objects was a bit cumbersome and hardly intuitive. The storyline wasinteresting and the puzzles were fun, although it was a bit short. WHERE MY ISSUES LIE: On four separate occasions I tried purchasing a clue. Three of these attempts were because it appeared as if I had missed the button on the screen, and needed to press again. What I want everyone to know, in hopes it won't happen to them, I NEVER RECEIVED the CLUES I PAID FOR. I have 20 unused clues somewhere. They cannot be restored. I have contacted Microids and never heard back from them. Which really gets me. I know the likelihood of getting a response is next to zero, but at least acknowledge there is a problem.

I have had no problems with the game. It runs smoothly on my iPad Pro. It's not too difficult to figure out what to do, if you get stuck they give you, I believe, 10 free clues which, when used, tell you exactly what to do next. You can buy more clues through in-app purchases. I think the price is fair and I don't mind paying for more hints if needed but there's always the free option, looking up a walkthrough if you're stuck. I love this game and I really wish there were more games like this available on the AppStore!
