Graphics/World
I loved the graphics of the game. In a way, the world and characters had a comic book style design that differentiated it form being too realistic yet fun and entertaining. Each location was designed very well and all I wanted to do was explore each locations to its fullest extent. Though I know I probably missed a few things here and there. I still enjoy exploring each of the locations, including Poirot's home where he probably solved so many cases.

Storyline
I loved the storyline! Each murder and case seemed to just flow together and each piece of the puzzle just seemed to click. There were a few times in the storyline that I got a little lost as to what to do. This especially made it difficult when the game glitched and wouldn't let me move on. Though this created obstacles, overall it didn't affect the game play too much other than having to save the game and restart it.

Puzzles
When it comes to the puzzles everything is fairly easy as long as you look closely at everything. Each puzzle whether you're talking to a character and acting just as Poirot would, looking and interacting in your environment, and piecing together each crime scene. There were only a few time were I got stumped and that was when I was speaking to the characters. I wanted to do what Poirot would have done but sometimes it stumped me. During the game you would receive points of doing exactly what Poirot would have done and out of 600 points I missed quite a few of them.
Thank you everyone for reading! I really enjoyed playing this game and I really hope the Microids make another Agatha Christie game in the future. So have you played Agatha Christie The ABC Murders?
