Critic Reviews for Amerzone The Explorer's Legacy
A forgotten land shrouded in myth, a sacred egg holding the fate of a species, and a dying explorer's last wish - Amerzone: The Explorer's Legacy returns as a visually rich, emotionally charged journey. Rebuilt from the ground up in full 3D, it enhances the original with modern gameplay mechanics, an integrated journal system, reimagined puzzles, and dual difficulty modes. A classic adventure reimagined for today's hardware and sensibilities.

While Amerzone - The Explorer's Legacy is a loving tribute to its source material, its gameplay remains trapped in the past. The world is more realized than ever before and, at points, almost feels real, but the addition of a few new puzzles doesn't quite inject the excitement that I'd hoped. Amerzone is a must-play for fans of Benoît Sokal, but is unlikely to wow the new generation of point-and-click adventurers.
The 2025 remake of Amerzone – The Explorer’s Legacy is a worthwhile journey whether you’re returning to its familiar rivers and jungles, or if it’s your first time strapping into a Hydrafloat.
I find it difficult to recommend Amerzone: The Explorer's Legacy to anyone other than the biggest enthusiasts of Benoit Sokal's work. However, if you don't mind terrible optimisation, archaic movement mechanics or a plot focused on gathering information about past events instead of experiencing them, the remake will take you to a truly unique universe accompanied by an absolutely beautiful soundtrack.

Amerzone – The Explorer's Legacy revamps a classic adventure that's great fun for puzzle fans who enjoy scouring the environment for clues. It's easy to get lost in the wonder of Amerzone without feeling too frustrated. However, the experience also brings some flaws from the past that haven't translated well to the modern gaming environment. This makes the game great for a blast from the past, but a tough recommendation for modern puzzle players.
Microids brings the 1999 point-and-click classic into the modern day with Amerzone - The Explorer's Legacy!
There are some side things to do in Amerzone, but they are ultimately pointless. There is only one ending and no other reason to replay other than reexperiencing the atmosphere.
The new Amerzone does this brilliantly, taking the original as a story base and improving on it with each part. You may have played the original adventure many times, and the gameplay will be completely different for you, but the atmosphere will be very familiar. Just take it.
