Legacy - Reawakening 4+

Top-notch puzzle game

So happy to see this next installment appear in the App Store! The Legacy series is fantastic for those who love escape room-style puzzles. I have no idea how David does it, but with each release he ups the variety and ingenuity of the puzzles. The games are absorbing and challenging without being exhausting or unfair. The hint system is invaluable and works just like you’d want it to, giving broad hints and gradually narrowing them if you still need more help, with no lag or bothersome clicking to get to the next hint. The map works so well that I wish other games would take notes. I am always looking for puzzle games that can match The Room and Myst/Riven and Rusty Lake, and David has carved out his own place with them with the Legacy series. It doesn’t pack the emotional punch of those games, but it doesn’t have to—this is a thoroughly satisfying brain teaser series with a fun adventurous bent.

Always great games with highly innovative puzzles

Love love LOOOOVE these games! The first one is amazing but they have just kept getting better with every iteration. Yes some puzzles will seem familiar but most are very inventive and definitely make you think more than many puzzle games nowadays. Plus like all games in the series this one is well worth the asking price. Even using the hints these games keep me entertained for several hours or more so much so I have honestly never felt like I didn’t get much more than my $’s worth. So yeah if you enjoy point and click or escape style games these are a must have, right up there with the room series or meridian 157 or the Glitch forever lost games or even the old school mist/riven and Lucas arts games in terms of quality, complexity and replay-ability.

Great series addition! Bugs kept it from 5

Love the game! Had a blast as usual with this series. High quality puzzles, great in game camera and hint system. Literally shouted with glee at a few reveals and play time was a good 10+ hrs and I play a silly amount of these types of escape room/puzzle games. Challenging in the best way!

Lost a star for some bugs: pretty consistent issues with the lasers resetting to original positions while using fast travel (both via rooms map and photos travel). So objects melted, fast travel, refreeze which was esp a bummer with in the vehicle rides. A few times I also found myself revealing hints only to find I had been trying that exact thing (eg trying to hang bucket). Some detail quite hard to see on my smaller iPhone 6SE but thank goodness for the camera zoom!

Edit: thanks for the reply from David! I had to email you bc I didn't see a way to respond to your question here. Have a good day!

Developer Response ,

Hi! Thank you for the review, glad you liked the game!
The bug with the lasers you are referring to, is this only in room 9? (The room where you rebuild an obelisk?). It could be happening when not melting the ice fully, then teleporting just before ice is fully removed.
Thank you for letting me know about this, will take this into consideration when updating the game next time.
David
