I have a pretty good laptop so I was able to play on high settings, but even then they weren’t nearly as good as I was expecting for how long they worked on the game. This is obviously something that has been complained about since the beginning, and it’s for good reason: the graphics were lackluster.
Deirdre scared me every time I turned around and navigating the tunnels at the end of the game was nearly impossible with how characters constantly blocked your view.īad: the graphics. The positioning of characters when they followed you was.unfortunate at times. I also liked that the characters felt more alive.moving around, in multiple places, etc. I would argue that the strongest part of the game is the characters, even if I do think they could’ve gone further with some of the friendships and relationships that were hinted throughout the game (Judge Danforth and Jason, Mei and Jason, Teegan/Olivia/Lauren, etc). The characters as a whole felt unique and fun, and I really loved the interactions between Deirdre and the Hardy Boys. The rest of the voice cast was also great, which helped to carry a script that I felt was weak at moments-there were times when the dialogue was just.bad. I do think she was one of the weakest voice actors in the game (random lines seemed to feel out of place emotionally, but that could just as much be on the editing team as the voice actor), but I still liked her overall. She’s got the exact type of energy I imagine and had a more modern voice. Look, I loved Lani as Nancy Drew and she will always have a special place in my heart, but the new voice of Nancy has won me over. There were also a few threads that didn’t get tied up (do we just assume that Jason mimicked Olivia’s smoke bombs because he watched her in the square?).
Despite that, I think the mystery was good.just needed a little more refining to pull it all together. I also think I found out about things in dialogue before I was supposed to as though branches of the dialogue tree were incorrectly crossed. For example, you can go upstairs in the museum and discover pretty early on that the Parry family changed their name from Parris but you can’t ask Teegan about it until she brings it up much later in the game-and even then it’s not something you prompt, it’s something she just gives up.
The one problem I did have with the story is I felt like I couldn’t follow up with characters as much as I wanted to. Although I guessed Teegan’s role in the fire early on, I thought the overall storyline was compelling and that they did a good job of intertwining the characters and motivations in ways that wasn’t super obvious. And her admitting she had a “mild interest” in having a relationship with him? Tears. Admitting he would’ve had no idea what to do with her as a kid and that he still has no idea what to do now? Figuring out the music puzzle, when he was so proud to be able to keep up with his genius daughter who takes after her mother, and so proud of Nancy. We caught a glimpse of it, when he was with Nancy after. Ryan’s character growth is going to be hard-earned and well-won and I cannot wait to see the kind of man he turns into.

Carson saying no, he really had no idea Ryan was the father and was trying to honor Lucy, teaching him how to talk to Nancy. Carson is a bear and Ryan just cannot or will not stop poking him in the eye with a very short stick, and Ace is the wilderness survival guard waving a sign that says “PUT DOWN THE STICK.” And then their little bonding ‘how to be a father’ moment at the gas station was the definition of precious. One of them, no surprise, the Ace and Carson and Ryan road trip.
