Agatha Christie - The ABC Murders reviews and comments

Hey:] This is my first Agatha Christie Game and I've been Positively convinced, I generally like Adventure where it's All about Detective Stories. Now here in this Story, we slip into the Skin of Hercule Poirot and have to search and detain the ABC Killer. The Puzzles I found Personally relatively simple, there were a few here and there where you need longer to come up with the right Solution. What I found, on the other Hand, a little harder to give the right questions or Answers, you can use it to be a bit more popular on two different types of games (only that, of course, would not Be Hercule Poirot art) or the one with Brain and Mind. To the Graphics I can only say she liked me I like this Comic Style quite like and I found it just fit as well. It should also be noted that it is not a Typical Point ' and ' Click adventure as you otherwise know it, but rather the Emphasis is placed on Observing and Analyzing the Places as Well as people. By and large, the Game has convinced me 100% and I can continue To Recommend it to anyone who is also into Detective Stories.

Personal Rating: ★ ★ ★-Agatha Christie-The ABC Murders is a Point 'n 'click crime adventure that I can recommend to anyone with something left for both Point ' n ' Clicks and Crime Thrillers. Gameplay Unlike most Point ' n ' Clicks, no (or rarely) objects are combined here, but facts that have been collected before. In Addition, there are some beautiful Puzzles, which can be tricky, but can always be solved logically. I liked this particularly well about this Game, because it can often happen in the Genre that you don't get to your Destination with logical Sense. Fortunately, here! Story Before this Game, of course, the Name Agatha Christie was a Household name to Me, but I've never come into contact with any of her Novels. Therefore, I cannot make a Comparison to other Novels of Hers, or even judge whether the Novel that served as a Template was adequately implemented. With that In mind, I have to say that while the Story is good, unfortunately it's not outstanding (Sorry to all The Agatha Christie Fans out there). But it is interesting enough that one wants to know how the Case will ultimately be solved. Graphics & Music There is nothing wrong with both Graphics and Music, but there is nothing to highlight. Especially with Music I would say that it is typical of many Crime Thrillers (Filme/series). For example, I often had to think of Inspector Barnaby, where I have heard many similar Instrumental Music in the Background.
