Nancy Drew®: Legend of the Crystal Skull

Nancy Drew: Legend of the Crystal Skull is a great play! One of the spookier games in the HER ND series. This mystery takes place on a dark, stormy night in an old house with an expansive system of crypts in the backyard. There are puzzles galore in this installment. Some of them are a bit tricky, while others resolve in a few moves. The story is interesting enough, and the characters are pretty likable. It's fun to switch to Bess' perspective for a change of scenery. For an immersive experience, play this one curled up in the dark, preferably while it's raining; it really draws you into the atmosphere of the game.

Nostalgic and the puzzles are as fun as they used to be! I had to look up a few more hints (senior detective), but didn't ruin the fun.

Одна из тех частей Нэнси Дрю, в которой хочется провести как можно больше времени. Шум дождя, наперебой с аутентичной музыкой, старый особняк, сад, жуткое кладбище - ну что ещё нужно для полного погружения? В меру сложные загадки (за исключением одной, логику которой, к сожалению, я так и не поняла), возможность поиграть за Бесс, переодевание игуаны и приятное "собирательство" на протяжении всей игры. Для меня эта игра прямиком отправляется на полку "любимые"!

By far one of my favorite Nancy Drew games. Not a lot of characters, but very good ones. Perfect creepy setting and I love how there are several video elements to the story. A lot of puzzles, moderately difficult. You also get to play as Bess for a short few times. 10/10 for sure.

Note: I used to own this game in my childhood and it was a good typical ND game. I do not recommend it now though because it will not start up at all. When checking with ProtonDB, it says the game is borked. I tried all the different compatibility tools and none of them work. Do not purchase until this is fixed. Unfortunately I can't even return it to get a different ND game because I bought it in a bundle of 5 and I already completed the other 4 and it counts as gameplay towards this one as well.

Every goth's dream house.

Good fun

so fun!

I enjoyed this game a lot with its characters, story, and map. I actually wish I could've gotten to know some of the characters a little better. The use of hoodoo and spiders were not my favorite, and I really disliked that I constantly had to spin around the room to find doors, etc. I found the puzzles to be mostly logical; I did need help on one or two. Definitely worth getting. 8/10
