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.

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!

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.

Long ago, during the golden age of game design that was the Flash game era, there were many very good escape room point and click puzzle games. One gems of a game series stood above the rest with its stunning visuals and atmosphere: Submachine. This collection lets you rediscover all 10 beautifully remastered chapters of the desolate sci-fi multiverse that is the Subnet.

This is such a nostalgic, yet refreshing experience. I mean I did buy the HD versions before, but this is even better and smoother. Man, the difference between original Sub2 controls and this is night and day. Wish they kept the original sounds though, even though I understand why they didn't as some of them were really low quality. I know, because I have decompiled some of the SWF files back then. What do I miss the most? Probably the original FLF logo with bells and the good old music that used to play there --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-R0e38nWAw. Also gotta say wisdom gems and energy gems sounded way more badass :D
