A long review for the 34th Nancy Drew Game, where Nancy goes to Prague to find missing gems, but she gets sidetracked by puppets and a plot to rob a museum. I like the graphics, the characters and about half of the puzzles. I think many puzzles were poorly designed, as it's not obvious what you're trying to accomplish with them. Similarly, it's often hard to know what you're supposed to do next, to progress with the plot. The game's hint system needs improvement.
I give this game a 6 out of 10.

6/10 is generous in my opinion. This game was not polished, completed, or coherent enough for the time it spent in development. I love that you are someone who offers grace and understanding in your reviews.i think that sadly HeR will have to do a lot more than the bare minimum to appease ND fans. Well done on the video, love your side rants. Will gladly listen to you deep dive any time!

I'd give Salem a 2 and this a 5.

It might be better than Midnight in Salem, but only superficially. 30 mins in and there’s so many gameplay issues.

I couldn’t even get through 1hr of it….so many issues and glitches for me. I got a refund

Even navigation in this game is a hot mess. 😬 Why did they even have playtesters if they weren’t going to listen to them.

@Rooteliea2 9 дней назад

was there ANYTHING they fixed after you pointed it out to them? XD bc it seems like a lot was still left in the game regardless

@anr06612 9 дней назад

I will never understand why herinteractive went in this direction….for me and many others the Nancy Drew legacy ended with sea of darkness 😢

And we went that whole time seeing all of Nancy's friends but Ned 😔

I remember hearing somewhere (tho admittedly I don't remember where) that it was a technical necessity, the old games were built on a system that was too outdated to keep using and since they had to upgrade they chose to do it this way. They could have definitely made stuff on the new system look similar to the old style and slowly rolled out the impressive new things they wanted to try, but even if they did that they still had to change to a more modern system and that would still have had a lot of the same technical problems since they essentially had to start over. When it comes to the tech side of the game I think its very apt to compare it with stay tuned for danger. They're doing better than the first game made on this system, but still haven't found their groove with it. None of that excuses the writing errors or the poorly thought out puzzles or the poorly done hint system or any of the non technical stuff tho.

On the cylinder puzzle; I think on amateur sleuth it's actually conceptually quite doable. You do know what is on the back side of the cylinder, because you can rotate each piece all the way around, you just have to be able to visualize it which will be more difficult for some than others, and the notches kinda show you where the start point is because you have to match up the first piece with it. I found that quite doable, my frustration with it was the tolerance for moving each piece into *exactly* the right spot. That was my issue with a bunch of puzzles in this game honestly, they are so unwieldy!

The fact that I knew who the culprits as soon as the jewelery thing and when Nancy gets her phone hacked it was a pretty fast ah so its these two which kinda sucks

I was so excited to start this game but I have yet to finish it because of all the cumbersome movement and clues that really don't help, i have lost interest. I wish they would go back to the old format. I hate the bright coloring of the characters. They look too yellow. I have not figured out if there is a way to fix this.

My mind is blown that you can finish the game without putting the necklace back together. I had no idea it existed😭

30:00 Another option: laptop charger is Leo's or Leo's office has the charger. It's after talking to Elka, and that charger angered me every time Nancy didn't use the thing in front of her.
