I’ve played all the Hercule Poirot games that have come out in recent years, and I really loved Murder on the Orient Express. Thankfully, the developers have somewhat heard my prayers and made us a game in the same vein. Agatha Christie – Death on the Nile is a worthy successor to Murder on the Orient Express. Once again, we have a perfect game for the end of September, when the weather is turning cold, and staying home with tea, books, and video games seems like a natural conclusion. I do hope that Microids gives us more Hercule Poirot games in the future.

The game embodies the paradox of adaptation. In trying to stay fresh and unexpected, it sacrifices the timeless strengths of Christie’s storytelling. It’s colorful, ambitious, and sometimes clever, but rarely elegant. Ultimately, Death on the Nile is less a triumphant voyage and more a cautionary tale in how easily a mystery can lose its edge when it strays too far from what makes it compelling in the first place. Developer – Microids Studio Lyon Publisher – Microids Platforms – PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch, PC (Reviewed) Review copy given by Publisher Agatha Christie adaptations always arrive with a sense of expectation.

Agatha Christie - Death on the Nile shows that a well-known narrative can be brought to life by using new ways to tell it, different ways to present it, and different forms of games. Set in the 1970s, featuring two main characters, and incorporating interactive puzzles, Christie's classic receives a new lease on life while retaining the fundamental thrill of solving a mystery. Anyone who likes cozy detective stories and story-driven puzzle games will enjoy Death on the Nile.

Time to grow out that stache and boogie like it's 1974 as Poirot returns for a freaky deaky trip down the Nile. 4 Disco! I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when Microids were brainstorming their adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Death on the Nile. They’re in a meeting, sat around a large table, scratching their heads, pondering how to update this classic murder mystery for a modern audience.

It’s a tricky job reimagining one of Agatha Christie’s classics, but this new version of Death on the Nile manages to bring a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’ to the table. The dual-protagonist setup between Poirot and Jane keeps things interesting and varied, and while the acting and emotional beats sometimes fall flat, the gameplay absolutely carries the experience. Featuring a fun mix of puzzles and real-time events with flexible difficulty options, you’ll stay hooked despite the cringeworthy audio-mixing and wobbly visuals. By Anthony Culinas – Reviewed on PC Great Death on the Nile may fumble its presentation with awkward audio and uneven visuals, but the core puzzle-solving is still a blast.
