Agatha Christie – Hercule Poirot: The London Case Review

Agatha Christie – Hercule Poirot: The London Case is developer Blazing Griffin’s second go at a game based on the fictional Belgian detective, following up 2021’s Hercule Poirot: The First Cases. Published by Microids, these games aim to tell a prequel narrative of Poirot’s earlier work, forging out into new territory rather than directly adapting any of Christie’s stories. The First Cases showed some promise, but it was hampered by systems and constraints that failed to work to its benefit. Although The London Case makes some strides toward improvement, it steps backward in other regards to create an ultimately frustrating experience.
