New York Mysteries 4 CE for Android

Keep these coming. I really enjoy the crime based themes versus fantasy.

I am thrilled to see this game was released, as this series always fascinates me with its high level of stimulating gameplay, realistic urban settings, and explosive storylines. This installment did not disappoint me. Typical of this series, the exposition of the plot takes you back to 1960s New York, as you, Laura James, an investigative journalist, and your side-kick, Will, conduct an inquiry of the circumstances behind a strange plague that seems to be ravaging through the city. It starts out from the get-go with a cliff-hanger, as you are kidnapped from your own home and wake up in a trailer within an abandoned, creepy amusement park. As the drama unfolds, the frequent cinematic cutscenes capture the escalation of suspense, drawing me further into the storyline. This is the only developer that provides players with an in-depth journal, which records the story as it progresses. I appreciate the ability to refresh my mind after a brief break from playing. Gameplay is delightfully engaging. There are plenty of items to collect within each scene throughout your adventure. The HOS include my favorite type: “Find and Use,” in which you find items within the scene and manipulate them back into the scene. They are highly interactive, with occasional embedded puzzles to solve. The puzzles are entertaining and suit your objectives. Some gave a challenge, such as the mask puzzle of which you arrange the masks in a way so that there are no duplicate colors or distinct facial emotions in the same row or column. The collectibles are a bit tedious to spot at times, but the map eases that burden. The teleport map is your link to seeking out which locations have marked available actions as well as collectibles to acquire. The organizational structure is user-friendly, providing all-in-one access to the game’s multiple components; the collectibles, strategy guide, etc., are confined to the same location under the Menu button. I haven’t come across any glitches; transition is seamless. I don’t mind paying $6.99 for a game that comprises all of the features I desire, including lengthy playtime. I suggest you give this game a try. I’m sending good wishes to all the usual, faithful reviewers, as well as anyone else reading this. I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy
