No amazing gameplay, but nice enough
Playtime: 6 hours.
Okay detective game, faithful to the book. Some very irritating puzzle interface and the gameplay is sluggish.

It is basically the same as the book with very minor changes, nice refresher though
Fun game, didn't always agree with where the game forced me to go in solving the mystery but enjoyed the game!
I can say that the game is short, not very pretty if you don't like cel-shading, not open-world enough, but what is the point ? Did I buy GTA VI ? Or just a half-priced detective game that is not to be taken like a LA Noire 2 and more like a direct-to-PSN Microids game ? Indeed, my dear Hastings.
Okay, so I liked the humour on this one, but there's something that's disturbing me. The thing is that the game is too easy, you can just click everything on screen or just connect the hints and eventually, you'll get it right, maybe even not needing to reason at all. The artstyle could be so much better, but being honest, I prefer this one rather than the new Hercules Poirot ones, the closest to 2D, the better. And I can't complain about the story, Agatha Christie is always on point with crimes, I'll go read the book and leave this here.
