New York Mysteries 1

There was great thought put into this game on all aspects. Putting together the clues and solving the puzzles takes a lot of serious thought. Nothing about this is random. You really need to focus on everything. That is what separates this from other like games. This is the only game of its kind that I have played where the plot and progression is not spoon fed to you. Very intriguing story that makes you want to see it through. You need to be smart or your going to spend a lot of money as the hints cost a lot of money in relation to the fact that they are very subtle. I think the real challenge here is to get through the whole game spending as little money as possible. The key word is challenge. I believe the creators have issued this challenge without saying so, but the way the game is set up you can get through it without spending a lot of money. Be warned, you need to be really sharp on your feet to do so. Download and play the game and see if you are up for the challenge!

Thank you devs for this amazing game! I could not put my iPad down I would stay up to play this. There were no ads, the game took actual effort, the mini games were challenging but enjoyable, the puzzles were challenging but enjoyable as well. The cut scenes were so good. Man this exceeded my expectations so much and it’s free! The story with the mafia and the kids was amazing then the bonus content was fun too I thought it would be a short tease of the next game but it wasn’t it was its own full side quest, loved it! Will definitely get more apps from this dev team. I will play this whole game again just to get all the challenges completed with the phantom objects and etc lol.

I have absolutely loved FIVE-BN STUDIOs games. I played all the Lost Lands (my favorite games!), Legendary Tales (my second favorite), and Darkness & Flame (my third fave). When I was finished with those, I was excited to play more games from the company but the others (New York Mystery & Legacy ones) haven’t lived up to Lost Lands or Legendary Tales. They have the same large map area where you go back to previous areas to finish things and great graphics, but the puzzles are WAY TOO EASY. For one, there are a bunch of puzzles where you just match 2 images (turn the blocks over & match the images). That’s fine for 1 puzzle but there were quite a few like that in these New York Mysteries and Legacy ones. For two, a lot of the puzzles just take no effort. For example, there were a few puzzles where you had to put the lines all in the center and I had just started moving 2 of them and BOOM, it was finished. I thought, well that was lucky. But it happened again just the same on other puzzles. If you don’t have to put any effort in and think about it, it’s not really fun IMHO. These are fine for someone who thinks the other games are hard or maybe just starting off with games like this. But, if you’re like me and have played a ton of games like these, I don’t think you’d find the puzzles very fun. The story and graphics are great though.
