New York Mysteries 3

Ever since I spilled wine on my gaming computer and blew in out in one fell swoop, I've been looking for a fun and stimulating iPad game. I LOVE this entire series. I dislike violent games where the protagonist can get killed. I enjoy games that exercise your memory and logic skills, so this one fits the bill. The heroine's voice is a bit annoying and badly acted, but thankfully she doesn't talk much. She sounds a bit like Wilma Flintstone. Nevertheless, highly recommended. Note: Developers like Nordcurrent should take note of how free gameplay SHOULD work. This is perfect. You can click on the screen to your heart's content and not lose ENERGY (coins) Gameplay coins gained by watching ads are faithfully granted without the delays, hiccups or rollbacks.

I really love these New York mysteries! They are very fun, challenging but not frustrating. I don’t like paying for things if I can use them for free, so I really appreciate that it’s free to play! You only get 5 free hints at the start, which isn’t enough for me, but there’s an option to get free hints by watching ads, which I really like! I have enjoyed the plots of all of the NY mysteries, they are very engaging! I just have one minor complaint about this one, which isn’t a big deal, but I was slightly disappointed that the story of Carrie Martell wasn’t expanded further. I know that it’s mainly just the set up for the larger mystery, but it would have nice if her character had an actual significance other than (SPOILER ALERT) just being killed by a zombie. Besides that, it’s an absolutely fantastic game, thank you to the developers for making an awesome free game! And I can tell they are passionate about making games, not just about making money, because there are no pop up or in game ads, and there aren’t any paywalls, and it’s possible to get through the whole main game without paying a thing!

Let me start by saying that I really enjoy the New York Mysteries series. The game is challenging without getting too frustrating, the graphics are great, and the storyline is fun. That said, I can’t give NYM 3 five stars, because it had the same issue as the first one, you have to buy hints if you use all of the free ones. In addition, the F2P format doesn’t give the player a very interactive map. There’s no markings for areas where the player needs to complete a task, no reminder that the player forgot to find the collection of morphing item, making the map pretty useless. Could I find a walkthrough? Yes, I can, but I don’t want to do that. I would rather pay for the game so that I have unlimited hints, an interactive map and a more pleasing game experience. I will wait to see if NYM 4 is brought out in a full game for purchase version. I have seen that there is a full version of NYM 1 and 3, but I didn’t find them until after I started playing 3. Please bring out NYM 4 in full game for purchase and I’ll come running to buy it.
