Hercule Poirot: The London Case delivers on its promise of a new Agatha Christie-style story in the Poirot universe. While it doesn’t have the same level of tricksy, interweaving motives and relationships as Poirot favourites, the story is entirely entertaining nonetheless. However, the game lacks polish to the extent that it’s distracting, progress is not always logical and the loading times on Switch are a real problem. For all its charm, you don’t have to be a world-class detective to see its flaws.

6/10
