Nov. 2024

I recommend because the story is good and the characters are well designed; one somehow develops a relationship with them. However, the music on each scene is loud and not fitting (not bad music, just not fitting and sometimes so loud that you can hardly hear the voices). You cannot mute the music so one of the few places were you can get some peace in your head is at the elevator's hall at Rosangela's flat. I am a fan of Blackwell series so, I recommend the game nonetheless.

First entry in the Blackwell series. Legacy is a short game at around 2 hours and the puzzles are solved by either talking or combining clues. It is a breeze difficulty wise. The story, characters and voice acting are great, but there are only a few locations to visit. A short n’ sweet old school point and click that really opens up as the series continues in 4 additional games.

April 2024

Only recommended to fans of old-school point and clicks who are curious about this series. In terms of gameplay, length and general production value, there are many better games of this type out there. But despite the flaws, I loved the main characters and the writing. The commentary was interesting too.

Fun detective game! My favorite is Ms. Nishanthi, she's so sweet! <3 I loved listening to Mr. Gilbert's narration of how he hated coding the dog leash. That was really funny! XD

Dec. 2023

I've played Blackwell Legacy at least 3 times, most recently in May. A few nights ago (now December) I did a strange smile in response to an awkward situation and then had a feeling of deja vu. It took me some time to realise this game is so impactful that my brain thought of doing the awkward Rosa Smile IRL. It is a classic point and click. I adore playing with the commentary and learning about the creation of the game.
