Dec. 2024

I'm just going to write the same review for all the Blackwell games....Please PLEASE play this whole series you will not regret it. I legitimately cannot pick a favorite I love these games and ghosts.

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.

Nov. 2024

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.

Feb. 2024

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
