Screen Rant's 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.
A Solid Story Carries The Experience The principal highlight of Hercule Poirot: The London Case is the London Case itself, which acquits itself nicely despite failing to reach the heights of Poirot's finest appearances. The mystery centers around the disappearance of a painting stolen during the grand opening of a new museum exhibition, a theft surrounded by a suspicious cast of characters and a swirling storm of interpersonal tensions.
Uneven Presentation Is A Slight Stumble Although the writing itself is perfectly compelling, Hercule Poirot: The London Case struggles with the garnish required to package it inside a game. Like its predecessor, The London Case features somewhat simplistic 3D graphics, which can look like a functionally curated style under the right conditions but fall short under the wrong ones.
A Lack Of Polish Makes For Awkward Gameplay The gameplay of Hercule Poirot: The London Case makes one significant leap over its predecessor by reworking the mind map and minimizing its use. Although the concept of drawing literal connections between clues is a smart way to incorporate deduction, The First Cases managed it poorly, often lagging behind a player's understanding in a way that made following the geometry of the maps easier than following the clues.
