![]() It's true it's not a game to recommend as a first game, but I still find it an enjoyable, solid entry in the series. And I think both minigames are fun (something that isn't true for other games), it's a longer game, and even though there isn't a stand out puzzle, the puzzles are still fun. I ragged on that one part of the castle, but there is good exploration in other parts of the castle. Markus could have easily been a throwaway character like a few others that hired Nancy, but his connection to Anja makes both of them more interesting. None of them feel useless or seem out of place. With the negatives out of the way, I love the characters in this game. There is also usually one puzzle in a game I really love, but none of the puzzles here stand out to me. There is also a cut scene that needs to happen to progress at a certain point, but triggering it is an incredible pain. It doesn't even have a secret passage off it, it's just there to make it feel bigger. I really wish you could skip dialogue in this and the long path to Nancy's room really annoys me.
