Amerzone: The Explorer’s Legacy (1999) (2014)

Amerzone has such a great atmosphere. The environments are beautiful, mysterious, and really pull you into the world. The puzzles are just the right level of challenging without ever feeling frustrating, and the story is genuinely charming and engaging. It’s one of those games that has a really unique vibe and stays with you after you’re done playing. Definitely worth experiencing if you’re into atmospheric adventure games.

10/10 Atmospheric Myst-like about traveling to a fictional, mythical central American country. Great art direction, and some of the best sound design of any video game.

Enjoyed this. Loved the imagination of the place. Thought the cuts scenes were fun.

For a game from 1999 it looks alright. And the audio is not bad. Only I do not really understand what the objective is and what to do but thats probably my own fault. 6/10, its alright.

Got this free when they were promoting the new remake. Honestly, it kind of reminds me on why I wasn't a big of fan of the old adventure games. You play as a Journalist, who after meeting a dying professor, are tasked by him to return a giant bird egg back to the Amerzone (totally not Amazon). There's not much direction, story was very odd a times. You travel between static screens and there are some areas where navigation can be very confusing and disorienting. It's very pixel hunting heavy; really easy to miss something small or in darker areas and you need the cursor at the exact right spot. Documents you find to read have nearly illegible writing which made reading stuff a pain and there's some of the usual 'moon logic' style puzzle solutions. Used a walkthrough a lot. I have no doubt it was really technically impressive in it's time, this old style adventure game is just not my thing.

Fun short point-and-click adventure, like Myst but at 1% brainpower needed
