Nancy Drew®: The Deadly Device

Really enjoyed this episode. It threaded the needle for challenging vs. frustrating puzzle wise. Did have a moment that I got stuck in the photolab after completing a task and couldn't move, but a save and completing a different task allowed me to progress.

Loved the classic Nancy drew puzzles

This one is really well put together. It's a shame that I hate the location. But the actual mystery, story beats, and puzzles are great.

good game

It's a fun game that has puzzles centered on science including chemistry, circuits, and binary.

One of the better Nancy Drew games in my opinion, although some fans of the series rate this one lower. Good plot, even if the culprit is obvious. The biggest thing that sets this game apart from the others in the series for me is the soundtrack. Every time we booted up the game, the menu music got me pumped and right back into the atmosphere. Great game if you want to play something casual as a family. One person controls the game, but everyone can work together to find out what you need to do.

I thought the story, characters, and map were very well done. The puzzles were well themed and interesting, though I did have to use the walkthrough more than I wanted. The main negative for me was I felt there were too many timed puzzles. 8/10

Good overall, though some puzzles are a bit tedious.

Love this game, played it when I was a kid and was super happy to find it on steam recently. Only thing is that there's a file that has to be deleted from the game files after install for it to be able to open which was pretty frustrating to try and find, but other than that, it worked great.

I love Nancy Drew, played them all. However this one, I tried once with family and we gave up. We just tried again for the second time... took us roughly 14 plus hours to get through. We all agreed it was not worth the stress over the amount of puzzles that were not straight forward. Just to name one of the puzzles specifically there is a 'hangman' word puzzle, that they made the unfortunate choice of making it possible for Mason's name to fit in when it was never ever ever ever part of the solution. I was playing on Junior/Easy mode as well, but goodness gracious... time and time again we were all saying how this particular Nancy Drew should not be for 10 year olds. Even with using the hints occasionally, it was a struggle for a group of adults. This also has to be one of the darkest and serious Nancy drews, that really lost the lighthearted feeling of all the other Nancy Drew games. It didn't feel fun, but more of a chore. I even liked the Salem Nancy Drew game which most people did not like, and I would choose that one over this. This one should have been filed away under 'the lost Nancy Drew games,' and have remained lost.
