More interesting reviews on my Curator Page

Being a fan of a "Nancy Drew" series for many years, I have seen all sorts of games about her. Some I just adore, I like most of it, a few left me indifferent. But with all confidence I can say that «Nancy Drew: The Silent Spy» is the most personal game of the series, opening the window to the player in the world of a young girl-detective and in the past of her parents. Attempts to learn more about the car accident, in which her mother Kate died 10 years ago, lead an curious girl in Glasgow, and each new step leads to even more mysteries. Even the person closest to Nancy, her father Carson, behaves strangely, apparently hiding something and not talking about the circumstances of the accident. And gradually, a whole spy story is revealed in front of the player, with interesting plot moves, terrorist organizations and special services, the rather grim and viscous atmosphere of Scotland and suspicions around every corner.

The 29th game of the series, of course, cannot hit with some revolutionary changes (and for what?), but there is some improvement in the graphic part, there are some interesting solutions in sound design, technically the series is moving forward, while not forgetting its traditions. Like any modern teenager, the phone in the hands of Nancy is a powerful weapon that can help in any situation. According to him, she will be able to consult about the difficulties of the investigation with her closest friends and father, gather important information, and when it’s boring, just play simple mobile games. An important role, as the name of the game actually implies, will be played by various spywares, with the help of which it will be necessary to solve puzzles, hack and eavesdrop, getting to the bottom of the truth.

If we say that I was not touched, it is mandatory to make money for various purposes (but I’ll just say that I didn’t like it in previous games too, because it distracted from the main investigation) In this game you can either find them in hidden places, or get baking cookies. This job is fun, but after a while it gets boring. This is not a critical minus, and it does not affect the overall impression of the game. Yes, and some musical puzzles do not always like all the players.

And of course, the creators of the game will give the player not only to carry out an investigation, but also to learn many new interesting facts about Scotland, through studying various books, brochures, visiting many beautiful locations. I like this theme very much, so I sincerely enjoyed every new discovery. Together with very personal experiences, all this created a very interesting and coherent picture, which was fascinating to follow. And forward to the new adventures of our beloved Nancy!
