10/10 SCOPPPAAAAAAAAA
Even though it's not one of my favorites, I enjoyed my replay of Venice. There's so much attention to detail built into the game from the building design, music, language, background conversations, clothing, etc. I really enjoyed changing clothes, dancing for petty cash lol and of course, SCOPA! Playing the latter was somehow both frustrating, creepy, and fun. The characters were all so unique and villain-esque in their own ways. Colin is a very accurate depiction of a "nice guy" that it made me laugh out loud. I enjoyed the conversations with Ned more than in other games. This game really made me think - damn Nancy should be getting PAID for this kinda work! An "amateur" detective being sent to tackle a crime syndicate UNPAID is actually insane. Overall game play 4/5 and scare factor 2/5.

This will always be my favorite nancy drew game. 10/10 no notes.
One of my favorite nancy drew's to date! Most puzzles weren't overly time consuming except for the last one (like always). Definite recommend.
it is very fun and scopa is fun
I really had fun with Nancy Drew: Phantom of Venice! It felt quite different from other Nancy Drew games at first, which honestly made me a little nervous going in — but I quickly fell in love with it. Instead of Nancy stumbling into a mystery while on vacation or working a part-time job, she’s actually recruited by the Italian FBI to help with an ongoing case. That change in setup makes the experience feel more mission-based, as you’re given specific assignments rather than just discovering clues and puzzles by chance. It adds a fresh sense of purpose and structure that really works. I also loved how immersive it felt. Exploring Venice and working undercover was exciting, and the game even introduced me to the Italian card game Scopa — which is such a blast to play! It was a fun cultural touch that made the setting feel even more authentic. Overall, this one stands out in the series for its unique approach and engaging atmosphere. Definitely a favorite!
It's been a long time since I've played Nancy Drew games, but they're still some of the greatest. Difficult, yet not impossible, and incredibly rewarding
Another amazing time with Nancy Drew. The last big puzzle was difficult though!
I can't believe I used to love Scopa as a child. What's wrong with me? Anyway. The music is great, the location is awesome. Love the attention to detail. The set up mystery is fun. I wish we had more interactions with the suspects. We basically do not talk to anyone. The 1st half of the game is so light on puzzling, but then the ending hits you over the head with all of them. Overall, an chill ND installment.
One of the easier games of Nancy Drew. But didn't like the foto's used as backgrounds. Didn't need any help from walkthrougs... but still some tough challenging games. It's that I like to play the games in order, otherwise I wouldn't play this one.
