Nancy Drew®: Labyrinth of Lies

Probably my least favorite played in the Nancy Drew series. I didn't hate the puzzles, but how you progress in the game didn't feel logical, and there's just no great flow in how to move on and trigger the next phase of the game. Story line wasn't terrible, but just felt disjointed compared to many other games.

I'm typing this after having just finished the game and I can't lie, I'm very frustrated. As a long time ND player, this has to be one of the more frustrating games in the series. Maybe it's just me, but I found several parts very unclear and was left stranded wondering what I had to do to trigger the next scene or puzzle. When I eventually looked it up, the connections between one puzzle to the next just made zero sense, and if I hadn't bothered to look it up at all, I would've been stuck. The ending is also just an ONSLAUGHT of puzzle after puzzle, which ruins the pacing of what is supposed to be the climax. However, I did enjoy the focus on ancient Greece and the characters in this game. If you have patience and don't mind using a guide when necessary, you'll be fine.

Good entry in the series, even if some of the elements are more outlandish than usual. I would recommend trying some of the other Nancy Drew games before this one (The Secret of Shadow Ranch or Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake are good games to try first, if you've never played the series before), but this one is definitely one to consider as you add to your collection. Storyline focuses on a museum, greek mythology, and a theatre troupe. Most of the puzzles are easily solvable without a walkthrough, though as usual there's always one that will probably drive you crazy.

The game was dull and difficult. The music was pleasant and the settings were beautiful.

I love the music, the Greek settings. You also get to learn how a Museum works, working on the computer, reading the files. The story plot is awesome! Love this game

We will smurf soon. TSM wrath will be swift. All these peasants thinking we aren’t good. Lmfao Also this game sucks. Go watch paint dry--more fun

Not a big fan of this one. The puzzles are either boring or too difficult, the characters are all unlikable, the plot is strange, and the majority of the game takes place in a museum or sets for a play and not in actual Greece. A bit of a waste of a setting in my opinion.
