Arguably Hercule Poirot's most famous case, fans of mystery and moustaches can look forward to Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express in a fresh adaptation coming to PS5 and PS4 on 19th October.
A classic whodunit, this iteration has some major new twists, the least of which is its modern-day setting. Players must assist the exacting detective in piecing together clues, constructing mind maps, and interrogating potential suspects. It all looks decently complicated, actually, and should provide suitable fodder for those of you with sufficient mental fortitude.
One of the more meaningful additions to the tale is the inclusion of Poirot's American apprentice, Joanna Locke. Players will control Locke as she unravels a second investigation through a series of playable flashbacks, and it will be interesting to see what effect this has on the story's twist ending, reputed to be one of the best in all literature.
Will you be climbing aboard for this adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express? Do you have a favourite Christie tale? Debate why And Then There Where None is the best one in the comments section below.

One of the games where I do not care about the rating which will most likely be butt. I grew up with point and click adventures, still love them and I have a soft spot for Christie stories.
This could be interesting if the who done it is not already known. Maybe there will be some additions to the 1970's movie that will make it fresh even with the ending known. Still waiting for a Fast Times at Ridgemont High Game.
@NoCode23 Why are you assuming they're basing in on the 70s film instead of the original 1934 book the film was adapting? Not that it suppose it matter as the end is presumably the same. It is a weird situation for them to be in, adapting it into a game; you have this conundrum of being faithful to the story but having the game be easier because many players know who's guilty, or making it better as a game but basically ignoring the story you're meant to adapt.
