Defunct Games reviews Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express by Microids, available now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Switch and PC.
Based on one of Agatha Christie’s most beloved and well-known mysteries, Murder on the Orient Express takes the premise and expands on it with tons of puzzles, lots of intrigue and a fleshed-out story that doesn’t end where you might expect. While the story will be predictable to anybody who has seen the movies or read the book, there’s enough charm and puzzle solving to keep even the most hardened private eye entertained. The game does drag a bit and the presentation feels rooted in the past, but this adventure game makes a strong case for why we need more Poirot mysteries on modern consoles. No matter if you’re a long-time fan or a first-time passenger, there are enough twists and turns in Murder on the Orient Express to keep everybody happy.
