Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“We finished this game out of pure spite, but it was awful. There were like 5 puzzles in the whole game. It was mostly just dialog that you could click all the way through and not actually glean any information. It was basically a checklist…”
“Gameplay is different than other Nancy Drew games, and worse. I like the other Nancy Drew games but I would not recommend this game as the puzzles were too few and gameplay was too tedious.”
