Nancy Drew®: Trail of the Twister

A fun mystery even after all these years!

A solid entry in the series, but a bit bland at times.

I've played the majority of the Nancy Drew games that have been released; while this one certainly isn't my favorite, it also isn't nearly as awful as some reviews would suggest. It is a little more errand focused than other games - the commuting around is a bit obnoxious, but most locations are fairly close so it isn't terrible. If anything, I'd lament that it feels as though part of the intro is missing? The story just... starts, and while it does make enough sense, it feels like part of the exposition was cut for one reason or another and the immersion is a little more lackluster than other games. The puzzles are generally enjoyable, I only really found myself using a guide for a few of them because I couldn't quite get my brain to think about them the way I needed to. The artificial urgency of the puzzles is a little excessive - none of them are timed, despite the background chatter suggesting otherwise. I wouldn't recommend this to someone who doesn't like the other Nancy Drew games - but if you've played most of the other ones, it's a very quick play by comparison (I had 4 hours and probably could have been a bit faster) and it's at least enjoyable enough to justify spending that much time in it.

This nancy drew goes up there with Midnight in salem being one of the worst nancy drew games ever. They should call this game "Nancy's Chore List". Cause all we be doing in this game is chores. Very unsatisfying ending too.

Super fun!

I spent 6 hours doing the mice catching mini-game. I regret nothing.
