Pros and cons of Blackwell 1: Legacy app for iPhone and iPad

Blackwell 1: Legacy app good for

I wish there were more games like this, instead of always having to play I spy in a mystery game (*cough big fish games). It actually lets us think and figure out which clues go with which, and makes things challenging. The only drawback to this game is that its way too short for my liking. I loved it, but it wouldve been nice to solve more than 2 days worth of mystery. Other than that, fantastic voice acting, beautiful graphics. Makes me want to make a game like this. Wonderful.
I found the game extremely brief and largely a linear visual novel, but it was still extremely engaging and I enjoyed the story, dialogue and the two main characters. It really does feel like a tease to a much bigger story though... Ill definitely be grabbing the sequels (when they go on sale).
This game was amazing! beautiful 90s graphic. The voice overs are spectacular, they bring a certain realism to the game. The story is original and fun, so are the puzzles. Although, there is bug at the end, when tou throw the rock at the flask. And i find the game too short for 2,99. i really wish it was longer because it was a lot of fun playing it!
Remind me of the old Lucasart games. Well written, riddles are nice, not too complicated, but complicated enough to make you feel smarter when you solve them! Graphic could have been better, and slightly too short, but great game overall. Deserves much more good reviews.
If you liked the pointnclick games of the early 90s, this game is for you! Funny, nice jazzy film noir soundtrack, a little too short but worth the price! If you dont mind old resolution graphic games, youll enjoy it!
I remember when I played this game on my PC when I was younger, and now I found it as an app. These puzzles are not the easiest to crack but once you do you literally go like "ohhhh smart" Its a great game

Some bad moments

This game was good until it froze after i smashed the flask with the stone. There is a bug - please fix it!
Just launched the game and already want to delete it for crappy soundtrack and not letting me to skip the intro
I havent played this yet, so I dont know how it is on ios, but judging by Gemini rue, and shiva, Im sure it is wonderful. I began playing this game on the PC, and its freaking awesome. I was hoping the series would come out on ios. This is classic point n click adventure gaming right here.... With a little twist. Love Wadget eye.
Its a story driven game The story is pretty good to me Love the game and also the classic old skool graphic I would buy all other wadjet eye games Already owned shivah, gemini rue and all 3 blackwells on ios Hope they will port all of their games to ios
Challenging, creative and fun, but considering the price at 2.99 for very short episode here, Im not digging it
I love these types of games. I would love this one if it had been a little longer. It felt like as soon as I got the hang of things and was figuring the mystery out it was done. Id play a sequel for sure.
