Carmen Sandiego gives you the master thief experience with a sprinkling of educational content, even if it can be too easy at times.

8/10

This globe-trotting adventure can err on the side of being too simplistic, but with amazing scenery and fun puzzles, it’s a solid update to the classic Carmen formula nonetheless.

8/10

When I was a kid, “edutainment” was a thing in video games, especially on PC. I had several point-and-click adventures that had me solving puzzles, answering trivia, and other brain-wrenching exercises to get by instead of simply jumping on goombas or whatever. They were neat, even if they didn’t adhere to the same kinds of standards as a big budget franchise like Mario or Final Fantasy. When I ha...

Carmen Sandiego was a big part of my childhood and here's a brand new game that's quite a nostalgic yet fresh-feeling iteration of the classic.

Additionally, though it has both a main campaign and "cold case" sid...

Remember Carmen Sandiego? She's back with a brand new game, some 40 years after the original video game that kicked off a franchise. Perhaps she should have been left in the past, though, because this new entry doesn't do anything to reignite Carmen Sandiego's worldwide hunt for criminals. Despite an interesting premise, the game is not all that exciting and quickly becomes very repetitive.
