X A V I Posted February 22 Posted February 22 When it comes to puzzlers, few stand head and shoulders above the rest as Myst does. This classic of first-person exploration, which placed you on a mysterious island, has inspired innumerable spiritual successors. And the latest that's caught our eye is none other than today's subject: Legacy Reawakening. Little surprise then that, given its inspiration being drawn from something like Myst, Legacy Reawakening presents you with a mysterious and surreal environment to explore. The underground mines, forgotten structures and bizarre technology are all equally inscrutable and fascinating, making it the perfect set-up for a puzzler and presenting plenty of challenges for you to solve. Your objective is, essentially, to reawaken the robotic guardian of this labyrinth. To do so you'll explore ruins and steampunk mechanisms of this underground world, solve escape room-style puzzles and slowly piece together this ancient guardian's memories. You'll also experience an atmospheric soundtrack and have access to a dynamic hints system to help nudge you along if you get stuck. Developer No Signal Productions has not exactly hidden their inspiration from Myst. But Legacy Reawakening may leave some not as experienced with prior releases out in the cold, yet it does innovate with a fully explorable 3D world rather than the fixed perspective and movement of its predecessors. It's certainly done enough to make me curious about this underground world and what it's all about. And if you're a fan of classic adventure gameplay and cerebral puzzlers, maybe it's one that'll suit you down to the (under)ground too. Want to test your brain cells even further?
