Worst game ever! The puzzles were extremely difficult. Some of the characters were unlikable, especially the judge and the lawyer. Olivia Ravencroft, one of the suspects, was quite a character. The animation was a bit clunky, particularly the characters' movements. The settings were beautiful. Carving the pumpkins was the most enjoyable aspect of the game. It was very simple.
New way to maneuver feels clunky and hard to track where you have searched. Also this isn't like your typical puzzle solving Nancy Drew game. There are only a few puzzles total in the game and it's mostly just a click along story and a mediocre one at that, the characters are more hollow compared to other games. I wouldn't recommend this one if you were to buy alone even on sale however if you get it in a bundle of games like I did during a sale it's worth a play through. I don't know if I'll every replay this one unlike pretty much all the other ND games I have played.

The plot is fun and the nostalgia is endearing, but I'm honestly surprised a game from 2019 has such clumsy controls. The game would be much more playable if rotating/panning/turning wasn't such a pain. EDIT: I wrote this review before I played the Hardy Boy's Ghost Hunt scene. The controls are the worst I've ever tried to use in a game. I'm shocked this came out in 2019 and not 2009.
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Always loved playing Nancy Drew, and this was not a disappointment! Can't wait to play the next one up!
[b] Эта игра - конец Нэнси Дрю. [/b] Весь шарм данной серии игр заключался в том, что многие проходили их в детстве и запомнили ту самую графику и интерфейс, которые теперь приносят теплое чувство ностальгии. Сейчас же движок и стиль игры совершенно поменялись. Разработчики явно хотели как-то шагать в ногу со временем, но теперь это совершенно другая игра, которая не дотягивает до детективов подобного плана, но при этом не имеет ничего общего со старыми играми о Нэнси Дрю. Прохождение зачем-то сделали линейным. Лучше бы просто оставили все как было, придумав новых историй и подтянув графику. Из плюсов могу отметить только возможность пропускать части диалогов. На этом Нэнси Дрю пришел конец. Остается только перепроходить старые выпуски серии.
The game play was extremely clunky compared to every other Nancy Drew game I have played (and I've played most of them). I felt like it was one of their first games instead of one of the most recent. The story was okay, but it had a forced feel instead of the more exploring that I've come to be use to. I absolutely hated the moving controls to walk around and explore, it made the whole game really unenjoyable. I really didn't want to believe the negative reviews, but after playing it, I definitely understand them. I like to replay ND games after a a couple of years when I don't remember them as well, but this won't be one I'll be returning to and am disappointed that I purchased it. Based on the negative reviews for 7 keys, I will probably be passing on that game. Which is sad, because I definitely love the other games in the collection and would purchase any new ones that had similar game play to any of the ND games before this one.
4⭐ / 5⭐ 身为 ND 的老粉丝,其实在2021年就购买了这个最新系列,但是全新的操控方式、镜头移动与声优的更改让我无法继续玩下去。就这样弃坑到2026年才重拾游戏。 老实说,故事情节上感觉有点保守,缺少了反转。玩完了却有点不过瘾。(。ŏ_ŏ) 解密方法已经很不错了。有纳入了新的游戏方式,也沿用了一些以前的玩法;但是新的操作方式删除了以前会帮忙做笔记的的功能,对非英语为媒介语的玩家有点不友好,很容易遗漏各种信息。 镜头的运镜方式很让人头大💦(っ﹏-)💦 一直拼命按按按转换镜头,有时候还会按错,然后走错方向。 整体来说,其实有点复杂。说好玩吧,却感觉不太完整。说不好嘛,可是却还行。
С детства люблю Нэнси Дрю! Играла практически во все части. Не понимаю, почему так много хейта в сторону этой игры. Мне она понравилась! Очень атмосферная, более живая, чем некоторые предыдущие части. Здесь гораздо больше персонажей и взаимодействий. Да, головоломок, как будто, не так много, они вполне решаемы — и это здорово! Порой просто бросаешь игру из-за слишком сложных квестов, частота появления которых уже начинает бесить. Перед приобретением наткнулась на негативные отзывы и засомневалась, стоит ли покупать, но в итоге не пожалела и прекрасно провела время! Очень рада, что компания все еще выпускает свои легендарные игры! Спасибо вам!
PUZZLES RAHHHHHH
