Critic Reviews for Amerzone The Explorer's Legacy

Amerzone: The Explorer's Legacy is a very good remake of an already well regarded puzzle game. While the story is a little predictable, it looks very good, the puzzles are well designed, and the environmental story telling is well constructed.

Amerzone: The Explorer’s Legacy shows that they dove into the PS5 hardware with both feet and utilized haptics with the controller, as well as utilizing the adaptive triggers in several different areas. They recreated some of the original puzzles while creating a bunch of new puzzles that may test your overall IQ.

1999’s Amerzone was technically a product of its times, but it told a still-interesting and layered story, set in a fantastical world. Amerzone – The Explorer’s Legacy is a true remake, keeping the skeleton intact while bringing the graphics, sound, puzzle mechanics, and exploration up to contemporary standards. Players of the original will find Amerzone – The Explorer’s Legacy both a respectful and exciting new experience. Adventure puzzle game fans who missed it the first time are in for a treat.

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.

Amerzone – The Explorer's Legacy offers: an honest, restrained, and very well-crafted adventure. A tranquil gem to disconnect from the noise, enjoy the silence, and let yourself be carried away by the ruins of a forgotten world.

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.
