The Legacy: Forgotten Gates Collector's Edition Reviews

It's a good game and I enjoyed the artwork and complexity of puzzles for the mostpart, however it isn't perfect. For one thing, there are no hidden object scenes per se. Instead, we get the 'domino effect' scenes, where one thing you find leads to another, and eventually you get one item from a scene - where everything you pick up is used in some way to get what you need. From a realistic perspective I can see how these sorts of scenes should be more common, but I found I missed the old mess scenes, and the game felt lacking. The bonus chapter is home to the worst puzzle though, with concentric rings and the outer ring linked to three other separate puzzles. I ended up using the in-game guide for this as I often tried it only to end up with two pieces left over and found it too hard to swap them, as the pieces were position specific, not just colour specific. To top off, afterwards there are 20 bonus puzzles to finish for an achievement, and some of these require some serious thought. The hexagonal grid has to be filled up completely by only using straight line moves, but each puzzle has various obstacles scattered around the grid so as to make it awkward to complete. Ultimately you can skip these, and the game will show you the solution, but you still need to finish them yourself to get the achievement. Having just come away from fully completing the achievements, I find myself a bit drained from the experience. But even with the harder puzzles it isn't too bad and I'd still recommend it.
