70It is specifically, in my humble opinion, for adventure purists who have patience to sit through bad NPC dialogue because the main character is endearing and in a bit of a jam.
-
70My advice: Set aside a larger budget for voice acting, and make sure the environments are as interactive toward the end as they are in the beginning. For players, don't expect a classic, because you won't find this game fulfilling that need. But as long as you set your expectations a bit lower, you should be entertained.

70A good, solid, first up Sci-Fi adventure game that shows that Razbor Studios have a lot of potential and I hope that they create more games. I also hope that we may see Ren again in a sequel sometime soon.
-
Gameplay is linear, but refreshing in its use of locales and inventory. It is on the easy side so there is little frustration in playing.
-
Legacy: Dark Shadows isn't a bad game, and there definitely appeared to be a better game lurking somewhere just on the outer boundaries.
-
58The game installs completely to your hard drive so there is no need to put a CD in once the game is installed, I wish more games did this.
-
Legacy is sloppy and silly, it doesn't try to tell a coherent story or develop its characters, and its puzzles aren't even close to being entertaining enough to make up for the rest of the deficiencies.
-
Oh, the story. It promises so much, yet delivers so little.
-
47Legacy: Dark Shadows just isn't fun. It tries so hard to mimic great adventure games like that of The Longest Journey but, sadly, only does so graphically which isn't a good thing.
-
41Playing the game can be a numbing experience. Antiquated graphics, horrible voice-overs, clumsy storytelling, boring characters, derivative settings, pixel hunts, simplistic puzzles, and severe bugs have a way of doing that. If Legacy can do something wrong, it does.
-
The content isn't even worth a laugh, and the story is so full of holes (is this based on a Croatian comic or show? It seems to expect you to know the cast in advance) and clichés that it has no value unless you're a die-hard fan of Eastern European culture.
-
The only thing Legacy leaves you with is a feeling of relief when it's over. [Apr 2005, p.88]
-
27Making matters far, far worse is the game's tendency to randomly crash to the desktop when you enter new areas. If you must play this game (and I emphasize the word "if"), remember to save often. [Apr 2005, p.73]
-
22If you loved the immersive game play of titles like "Syberia" or "The Longest Journey"... go play those games again, and don't waste your time with this weak B-grade stinker.
-
Takes adventure games to a new level. With new, I mean "my God, I have never seen anything this bad" and with level, I mean a crappy bottomless pit. [May 05]
-
A truly spectacular failure. Long may it live in infamy. [May 2005, p.105]
