I love a good detective yarn – and Agatha Christie's Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot, is one of the greats for a reason. I can never resist checking out a new adaptation or cracking open one of the books I've not read over a weekend. After the not-very-good 2022 movie, I've been eager to see this particular iconic mystery revived, so was quick to download Agatha Christie: Death on the Nile's Steam Next Fest demo. I really enjoyed it! (And you can find out more in our Steam Next Fest guide about what's on offer).
OK, that makes sense – based on the information in the above paragraph I fit the motive of someone who would enjoy a game like this. But those of you who have thumbed my character profile, studied the deep lore, will know that I really did not like developer Microids Studio Lyon's last game, Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express – in particular how it adapted the central mystery and modernized it for its 2023 setting. What's changed?
