Prepare to embark on an extraordinary journey into a forgotten land! Amerzone – The Explorer’s Legacy, a stunning remake of the 1999 cult-classic adventure game from the legendary Benoît Sokal, is here.
This reimagined tale arrives on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC, published by Microids.
Priced at £34.99, Amerzone – The Explorer’s Legacy invites players into a world of mystery, exploration, and wonder, meticulously rebuilt for a modern audience while honoring the original’s unique vision.
Fulfill an Explorer’s Last Wish
Driven by the remorse-filled tale of a fallen explorer, you take on the role of a young journalist entrusted with a crucial mission: travel across the globe to the mythical land of Amerzone.
Your goal is to return the last egg of the legendary Great White Birds, a species intrinsically linked to the fate of this mysterious country – a land now ravaged by dictatorship and reclaimed by strange nature after the egg’s initial removal years ago.
Exploration, Puzzles, and the Hydrafloat
This adventure calls upon your curiosity and keen observation skills. You’ll explore fascinating, realistic yet eerie environments brimming with secrets, study intriguing characters with deep backstories, and solve intricate puzzles to uncover the truth.
Expect revamped puzzles from the original alongside brand-new challenges designed to test veteran explorers and newcomers alike.
Your key tool for navigating this dangerous land is the “hydraflot,” a fantastic invention equally at home on water and in the sky. Mastering its mysteries is crucial to overcoming the obstacles between you and the heart of Amerzone.
A Worthy Remake: Accessible Adventure
Bringing a decades-old point-and-click style adventure to modern systems can be tricky, but Amerzone – The Explorer’s Legacy has garnered praise for its thoughtful approach. In our 4.5/5 review, we state: “Amerzone – The Explorer’s Legacy surprises, both with how good the actual adventure is and just how much effort has clearly gone into this remake. People often said the original 1999 version was super difficult, maybe even unfairly so sometimes. This new version doesn’t suffer those problems, offering different difficulty settings to choose from, as well as helpful hints and clues becoming available.“
Indeed, the game offers two difficulty modes: “Adventurer” for seasoned explorers seeking tougher puzzles, and “Traveler” for a more relaxed experience focused on immersion. You can even carry over progress from the recently available free demo!
