April 2025

After completing everything there is to do in Submachine: Legacy I've decided to update my review. The game is great! The art and music are both fantastic and the atmosphere created by them is indescribeable! The puzzles while really challenging and confusing at first (especially in Chapter 10 and the Shattered Quadrant) are still fun to solve. You will definitely need a walkthrough to complete those 2 specific games but other than that you'll have a great time if you enjoy brain teasers!

There are 10 chapters in this game, and several bonus chapters. Here are my thoughts during my 7.5 hour playthrough: Chapter 1. Oh this is a cute little puzzle game! Beautiful artwork, haunting music and clear sound effects. Chapter 2. Cool! Some fun new areas to check out. This game is going to be awesome! Chapter 3. Looping rooms, original puzzles, my brain is getting a workout! Proud of myself for winning! Chapter 4. No guide. In a lab now, kind of stuck. I'll get through it, I'll just try clicking everywhere! Chapter 5. Story is getting interesting now. I can teleport??? The puzzles are a little....weird.... Chapter 6. New gameplay with hacking alien computers. Cool. I'll just click everywhere to open everything. Chapter 7. What the cheese have I done. OH WHY did I start this game? Tired. I need a pen and paper. Chapter 8. My ... brain ...hurts...multiple realities? overlapping each other? What if REAL LIFE was like this? Chapter 9. I don't know which way is up anymore. These ancient temples are confusing. Major brain fog. Chapter 10. I pushed a button, now I must go search 10 different realities 200 screens to see what changed? I think I'm done. Brain hurts, headache, sweating, need a shower. 9 /10 Some of the most ingenious puzzles ever created, but are they FUN??

The hand-drawn graphics, atmosphere, sound treatment, and story are just great... really well done! However, be prepared to carefully scrutinize every single screen and take notes... you're gonna need to! The occasional puzzle that is so abstract you might have to start doing a lot of guesswork, backtracking, and pixel searching. There's a few puzzles that are just not going to be obvious to anyone, and so patience is required. There aren't many... and most of the puzzles are fun... but those few... ugh. I very much recommend this game for experienced puzzle lovers. If you're impatient, you might find yourself checking the internet for hints. Still, I'll give it a thumb's up.

Oct. 2024

One of the best, if not THE best game in the genre. This is essentially a bundle of all submachine games, except they're reworked, interlinked, polished and turned into one big unbroken experience, all the while providing you with ability to go back to any chapter and explore some more! Sound effects and music were upgraded, but thankfully you have an option to change some sound effects to classic ones. I really missed the original metallic 'thunk' of room traversal. What are you waiting for? Get this game, dim the lights, put on your headphones, nab a pen and some paper and get ready to explore the submachine, one room at a time!

June 2024

Short version: If you like point and click puzzle games and haven't played Submachine, you need to play it. Learn your roots. You Will thank yourself. It's a masterpiece Long version: Like a lot of people, I played the series back in the flash days. I was pretty young though, so I never got to the final chapter because I didn't feel smart enough, lol. Playing back through the series was amazing, and I love how well Legacy knits all of the chapters together. There are so many things I love about this game, from the handrawn art to the riveting atmosphere and story, to the mind-bending, one of a kind puzzles. It has a world you could get lost in, and a subtle but (in my opinion) perfect soundtrack that sets the tone really well. I was a kid when I first played these games, and I spent a lot of time imagining being a Subnet explorer. When I got to the end, I cried because of how much this series means to me. It felt so good to play these games again, and all I want is for more people to experience the wonder and awe that I have. Submachine: Legacy just well might be the best point-and-click out there.
