Amerzone – The Explorer’s Legacy (2025) Review - A smart and lavish remake for a niche audience
46It’s depressing how many remade or remastered games I can now claim to have originally played over three decades ago. Many retro-inspired games have moved on from pixel art to target the look and feel of early 3D games from the late ‘90s on PC or 32-bit consoles – the era that cemented my love of gaming as a lifetime hobby. Amerzone – The Explorer’s Legacy (2025) is one such remake; an updated, expanded, and lavish overhaul of a 1999 point-and-click adventure, known primarily for its association with Belgian artist Benoît Sokal who created many of the creature designs and backdrops before going on to work on the more recognisable Syberia games.
