Agatha Christie - Murder on the Orient Express Bewertungen

Alles perfekt!

Ok, ich würde es nicht empfehlen aber auch nicht sagen, dass man es nicht spielen sollte, eher neural. hier die pros und cons nach meiner 13stündigen spielerfahrung: positiv: - story gut verabeitet (will nicht spoilern) - angenehmes spielprinzip, gut einsehbarer ermittlingsstand etc. - oft gute, in humanem zeitraum lösbare rätsel - gutes design der charaktere, des zugs, des ui, der menüs - gute vertonung im deutschen und englichschen (etwas übertriebene akzente aber passt) negativ: - insgesamt sehr viel zeit nur überflüssiges getan (durch den zug laufen, teilweise lange unnötige gespräche und cutscenes), habe die sprache auf englich umgestellt, da es dort deutlich kürzer ist als auf deutsch -verwirrtes zeitalter, teilweise 19./20. jh und dann aber handy, gute idee das zu modernisieren aber es wirkt teilweise, als ob einige charaktere eine zeitreise in die gegenwart unternommen hätten - teilweise sehr nervige rätsel, die vermutlich auch lösbar sind aber seeehr lange brauchen, da man bereist gefundene hinweise nicht schnell öffnen kann, die komplettlösung ist da befragt worden - oft animationen sehr...naja... - hintergrundmusik zwar gut aber auf dauer wurde es etwas nervig (gab glaube ich 2-3 musiktracks die sich je nach szene abgewechselt haben...und es gab viele szenen) - "meine kleinen grauen zelln haben mich nicht im stich gelassen"/ "Voila"/ "Excelent"/ "Das war einfach"/ "Ich bin doch nicht so ein schlechter detektiv" (nach JEDEM separat abgeschlossenen rätsel sagt poirot einen von c.a.3 phrasen. und es nervt JEDES MAL) FAZIT: ok-es spiel, kann man machen, muss man aber nicht, wenn man ein wenig zeit hat, kann man es vermutlich mit anderen detektiv-spielen besser verbringen. wenn ich es erneut kaufen würde, dann nur, wenn es stark heruntergesetzt ist (alles ab 20€ ist mir persönlich viel zu viel für das spiel, wie es ist)

The actual story is very good - obviously. The gameplay is "run through the train, do puzzles that have nothing to do with the case in order to get bit of dialoge - repeat" I don't think the mind map is done well, I don't think it's engaging. There is no reason to look around and explore, because everything you need is marked with an interaction marker. But that's boring, right? So they added golden mustaches so you would maybe look around still. You technically have an inventory? I didn't use it ONCE because... you don't really collect and use things? I think overall the game is paced badly too, so much walking back and forth on the train. The controls are horrific. Idk who designed this, it's so stupid. Sometimes you can press ESC to go back/close a menu, other times it will open you inventory. Usually you are supposed to click the right mouse key. Unless you inspect an item and need to pick it up. Which is when you have to press ESC, no not Enter or E (interact key). A lot of the puzzles drive me nuts. Not because they are hard, but because the controls are actual garbage. In fact most of the puzzles are very easy. Honestly? Especially the puzzles controlls and the weird interactions like manually dragging your mouse in order to open a drawer very much feels like mobile game that was badly ported. I struggled a lot with pressing a lemon because the controls are bad and also WHY was this in the game?? One time I needed a hint because I was doing the investigation board and I missed something, couldn't find it. I click hint. "Do you really want a hint in order to solve the investigation board?" Yes. The hint unironically tells me "Use the board to link collected clues together" ??? What? That is your OFFICIAL hint?? Oh also, game is listed as supporting Steam Cloud. It just doesn't, started this on Steam Deck, controlls made me DIZZY absolute nightmare to control the camera with a control stick inside the train. Wanted to continue on my laptop because Steam Cloud - nope. I had to start a new game. You can't skip any conversations. < Also, this one is 100% my biased opinion: I think the game is pretty ugly. I was honestly kinda shocked to see it's only 2 years old. The game looks like something that aged poorly. I don't think the concept art/2D designs translated well into 3D, the characters look quite uncanny some more than others. Some of characters look quite shiny too. The animation isn't very good, the lip synching looks rather daunting on a lot of characters. I saw people who said they think it looks good, that's fine - I just don't like how it looks cheap to me. Also the entire train is very shiny, I get it it's supposed to look like fancy wood and stuff, I think it just doesn't look nice. I also think the accents most characters have sound pretty bad? I wondered if they are fake accents and considering that most voice actors voice at least two or more characters that's a yes. And like not just background voices but people ON THE TRAIN that are involved in the main story have the same voice actors. Idk, I think as A GAME this just fails on all fronts. Can it be enjoyable AS A STORY? Sure. Don't recommend it tho. Also, apparently the game adds a few extra chapters after where the book originally ends. I think these added chapters completely fail the original story. It's like the devs went "But... we need a TRUE villain that gets punished in the end or else the player won't understand that murder is bad :("
