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.
One of the more fun Nancy's imo!

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.
Bess your gonna kill him!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!111!1!!! :(((((
I recently started replaying the classic Nancy Drew games that I haven't played since I was a kid. In an attempt to see them with the eyes of an adult who has much higher standards now. Crystal Skull is not a good ND game. There is almost no plot, the main baddie is so obvious from the intro that it's laughable, the puzzles are incredibly tedious and some borderline impossible to figure out without a massive amount of trial and error. It's just not a fun game.
one of the weaker ND games. kinda just feels like running errands and a waste of a cool setting.
Bernie the alligator, I love you. This game... eh... not so much.
One more mistery solved. Case done. Interesting. Fascinating. Really a great deep story. :-) Best of best.
story ,vibe, love
Great Mystery Game! Sadly, not alot of exploring around New Orleans, very focused on the 2 main places, but still fun! The Glass Eyes are a riot! Ive played every game in this series, and while this is not top10, its still a solid game, for an easy play thru.
