THE ADVENTURE
Before dying, the explorer Emile Valembois tells you about the most amazing expedition of his career. This expedition was dedicated to the crazy "white bird" mystery. He confides to the young journalist that you are, the odd mission of returning to Amzerone in order to bring back an egg that was robbed 50 years earlier…

Latest reviews of Amerzone: The Explorer's Legacy (Universal) app for iPhone and iPad
Although there are some nice artistic elements to the game the movement through it and interaction within are cumbersome and awkward with little sense of fluidity. Green arrows and circles tell you exactly what to interact with removing all the fun of actually exploring and discovering this virtual world.
As a teenager, I loved Siberia and decided to buy this game because its by the same author. Unfortunately, the graphics remained on the level of 2000s, and what used to impress a decade ago now seems just awkward and low definition stretched to a larger screen.. The storyline is very linear. I wish I could get my money back.
Goes back to the times of Myst like point and click games. Somewhat old school, but still OK. I enjoyed the story and many of the ideas.
Puzzles are not very hard, it is more like an interactive movie. Voices are good. It can be sometimes a bit confusing to navigate. Graphics is ok, a bit outdated, but this is port of an older PC game after all. Atmosphere is captured well. There seems to be a bug in the first part: when you get the first disc, DO NOT insert it in the hydrafloat before youve put the egg in it! Otherwise, the disc disappears from the inventory and you cannot continue the game.
This is a French game but no one thought it useful to include the French voices and texts in this iPad adaptation! And there arent even English subtitles so here I am struggling to understand the instructions -- and its impossible to play silently too. Stupid.
