Journey vs Nancy Drew: The Silent Spy
Journey
Journey is literally a quintessential "artsy" adventure game. Why so? Well, the game puts you in the shoes of a mysterious robed figure who you will control throughout your adventure across beautiful, quiet and mostly desert landscapes. Each landscape provides players with a puzzle to solve that will allow them to move on to the next scene, though players can simply roam around the place and drink in the gorgeous visuals.There isn't a lot of buttons in the game and that's fine enough since you really don't need much to solve the puzzles, but personally, I'm incredibly intrigued by the Sing function. Although it is used to solve certain puzzles, most of the time you'll probably be using it idly while your character is travelling. Depending on how long you press the button and how fast you do so, you can actually create amazing little tunes that you'd love to have it recorded down and turned into perhaps a ringtone or something.
That said, Journey is a game that's so much more than composing music and solving puzzles. It is a journey (like its namesake) to help the robed figure discover who he/she is and to help you figure out what's happened in the game world, resulting in the sprawling desert that spans most of the game.
Nancy Drew: The Silent Spy
Nancy Drew: The Silent Spy is perhaps one of the most personal Nancy Drew mystery adventure ever! In this game, you'll assume the role of Nancy Drew as she embarks on a mission to learn more about her mother, Kate Drew, and what had truly transpired back when her mother met her tragic end. The game provides you a ton of fun spy gadgets to play with in addition to a rare peek behind Nancy's rich family history and Scottish heritage. The characters in the game also changes motives as you gain new clues or information, turning a simple interrogation into a match of wits.Sounds like the spy thriller/adventure you've been looking for?
