Recover a classic
Amerzone It is an original game of the last century. It is a graphic adventure of fantasy in the first person. The original was, like the current one, published by the microid developer and designed by the well known Benoît Sokal, to the memory of which the game is dedicated. And not only, Amerzone gives a name for the development of video games which he founded with other investors: White Birds Productions. Perhaps Sokal's name seems more for another better known and long saga than this: Siberia, Saga that takes the adjustment of this game as a base.
Sokal was based on a comic strip published by itself in 1986: Amerzone. The game was initially launched for Windows, Mac OS and the first PlayStation in the already distant 1999. He had a positive reception and was a great commercial success. In fact, he reached the negligible figure of 1 million copies sold in its launch.

They are threatened when a friend of Valembois goes up to power and transforms Amerzone into a dictatorship. The game puts us in the shoes of a budding journalist, who must continue the investigation into Valembois.
Gameplay and play style
Amerzone – The inheritance of the explorer It's a Graphic adventure In the style of another great classic: Myst. Which means that it moves away from the concept of point and clickBut basically, it's always the same thing. And we have to solve puzzles, as well as interact with objects. In addition, We have a first -person room, but we will not be able to move freely in the style script “shooter»We will walk in the section in the section And there we can move the 360 ° camera to investigate. Saying that may seem very tedious in addition to something outdated. Fortunately, remakes must improve many aspects. In this case, it was so and therefore we can directly delete the transitions from one section to another, or manually pass the double pulsation in the button.
When resolving puzzles, we will have to pay particular attention to the documentation that we will collect, because it is where we will find the solution or the clues to resolve it. In this case, it is not a particularly easy game and some puzzles have their difficulties, but fortunately, there are two game modes concerning the difficulty. In one of them, we will live the adventure without any track and with the other, we can obtain successive clues to resolve the enigma. This helps games to adapt to all types of audiences. In addition to this remake, puzzles have become more intuitive and some new ones have been added, so that the original players did not do everything.
The newspaper, key to the Amerzone tracks: the inheritance of the explorer
We will have a newspaper in which all information and documents are organized. In addition, they will show them the different surveys. These can be located on the stage where we are in full, or be distributed throughout the adventure and for that, we must find a certain object in each of the scenarios.

Spectacular graphic remake
If there is something that this remake stands out, it is because of the washing of the spectacular graphic face of the title. LThe scenarios are recreated at an almost realistic high level, supported by its resolution at 4K In Xbox Series X. The characters have also undergone very significant improvements with more defined features.
Being a type of “static” game, the work of perfecting each scenario with all its objects, with regard to the original and download it on a 4K resolution is really incredible. This is why even in Xbox series, it looks like an authentic luxury.
Impeccable sound parameter
The effects of sound and the definition of each scenario are also very exemplary. We will hear noises of nature, animals, wind or sea really in the middle of the jungle. All this will be improved with the use of headphones.
The voices are also at a very high level and express many feelings by seeing work as a dubbing actor. Of course, unfortunately all this The dialogues are in English.
