Agatha Christie - Murder on the Orient Express Reviews

Really nice detective game. They manage the linearity that most detective games have quite nicely by always giving you multiple things to do in parallel, so it does not really feel linear. As to what other people say, it is true that the game does not really have a failure mode, but you still want to figure out what happened, and get it right first try.

I seem to be stuck on the orange juicer repair. I fix it and then my screen freezes. I can't move around or click anything as well as press "tab" or any other key. Not sure if this is a problem on my end. But other than that its a good game.

I have played many Agatha Christie games but this one is absolutely the best! Amazing game! Some easy things to do, some much harder! But with the help of some very good walkthroughs here on Steam, it was great! Definitely worth playing....and when you think it is over....well it isn't! Enjoy!

A very fun retelling of the classic with a twist! I was never stuck on the puzzles for too long, and Poirot had a lot of charm.

Thoroughly enjoyed this game. Fairly easy, awesome graphics, really appreciated the added storyline expanding the original story. Highly recommend as an entertaining, easy game.

A very atmospheric crime novel game. It's more an interactive movie than a game. Some of the puzzles are hard/the game doesn't give enough hints, but a quick look at a walkthrough can solve this problem. So many cute cats, but you can't pet them. Why?

Great game for those who enjoy slower paced, atmospheric detective games. Loved the story, atmosphere, graphics, music and voice acting. Gameplay was fine too: not too simple, not too complex. Recommended. :)

When I first heard about Murder on the Orient Express being adapted into a video game, I was skeptical. Too many games based on books or movies end up as uninspired, copy-paste experiences that rely on the source material without adding anything meaningful. However, after playing it, I can confidently say this is not one of those games. Instead, it’s a well-crafted investigative adventure that captures the essence of Agatha Christie’s classic while delivering a fresh and engaging gameplay experience. At its core, Murder on the Orient Express stays true to the brilliance of Christie’s novel. The game takes place in 2023 rather than the original 1930s setting, which initially seemed like a risky choice, but it works surprisingly well. The modernized elements blend seamlessly with the original plot, keeping the intrigue and suspense intact while making it feel fresh for today’s audience. One of the best aspects of the game is how it allows you to take an active role in solving the mystery rather than just watching it unfold. You don’t simply follow along as Hercule Poirot; you actually investigate. The game encourages critical thinking, observation, and deduction—exactly what a detective story should do. What really impressed me was the gameplay. Unlike many mystery games that rely heavily on point-and-click mechanics or overly simple puzzles, this one offers a more interactive and immersive experience. You gather clues, interrogate suspects, and piece together evidence using Poirot’s “Mind Maps,” a system that makes you feel like a real detective. Additionally, the game introduces an original character, Joanna Locke, who brings a new dynamic to the story. Playing as her adds an extra layer to the investigation, offering fresh perspectives and giving players more ways to interact with the case. If you love crime stories, detective work, and unraveling complex mysteries, like me, then this game is a must-play. It doesn’t just retell Murder on the Orient Express—it expands on it, giving even those familiar with the story something new to enjoy. The writing, voice acting, and atmosphere are all top-notch, and the puzzles are satisfying without feeling frustrating or repetitive. Overall, Murder on the Orient Express exceeded my expectations. It’s not just a game riding on the coattails of a famous book; it’s a genuinely well-made detective experience that fans of investigation games will love. Whether you’re new to Poirot’s world or a longtime fan, this is one journey worth taking. ⭐️ 9/10 ⭐️ A fantastic murder mystery experience with clever gameplay and a fresh take on a classic story.

The story itself is great. The puzzles are challenging but not overwhelming and you have access to hints whenever you need them. The bits that bugged me - You have to do A LOT of walking! From one end of the train and back, through Venice, as detective Locke. That wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that on the train the walking is accompanied by what sounds like bad elevator music, very repetative and a bit grating after a while. Detective Locke has a hard time going up and downstairs. On the way down its like she has no knees and her legs kind of flip out in front of her. And Poirot constantly congratulating himself every time a small milestone is achieved. Great the first few times but by the end you just want to skip through it! But like i said great story and game play. Even if you know Agatha Christie's story well there are many twists to it.
