New York Mysteries: Secrets of the Mafia by LynxMinx – New York Mysteries: Secrets of the Mafia Collector's Edition HD Review

Thanks, KimTwilight! I played on your recommendation. Leave it to you to find us a new developer, especially since most of us just stick with BigFish and get one game a week! Great game, although I had never heard of this developer before. The game had an interesting storyline, the graphics really brought you back to 1950's Manhattan, and the cut-scenes were exciting. You could choose from three difficulty modes. The game had a lot of very important elements: it was lengthy with a long bonus adventure, loading was instantaneous between locations and there was a marked teleport map to transport you there and inventory was labeled, although there were no plus items to assemble. Objectives were updated regularly and the journal was excellent and helpful to your gameplay. The HO puzzles were of only one type; you find silhouettes and then use one object to unlock another and along the way there are little puzzles embedded in the HO scene. There was an interesting variety of puzzles/mini-games. There were morphing objects and collectibles and they were indicated on the map. Those I could do without because they are a distraction to me; however others love them so I never rate a game with collectibles in mind! I couldn't give this game a full 5 stars for several reasons. There was a glitch which kicked me out a couple of times and I lost a bit of progress. Make sure to quit and save your game! Also, pop-up windows in the HO scenes would open even if there was nothing left to do. There was no reset button on the mini-games. However, there was a back button so you didn't end up accidentally returning to the prior location. Despite these negatives, this was still an awesome game anyway and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you, Five-BN Uk Ltd. for such a fun game and also thank you for not scaring me with any RATS! The other game developers seem to love torturing me with them and you didn't even put them in the subway! Dream Team Elite, especially Dracyy, you will love this game so please play and rate it, thank you! We need new game developers for BigFish to bring us more blockbusters! And once again, thank you so much KimT for letting us know about these new gems!
