Games that looked absolutely breathtaking in the '90s will always remain that way in the hearts of fans, but a remaster or reimagining brings these oft-forgotten classics to a whole-new generation of curious players.

Not only was it an extension of designer Benoît Sokal’s comic strip L’Amerzone, but it would also become the first entry in the long-running Syberia series. It’s genuinely nice to see so many of the point-and-click puzzle games that defined the genre getting glow-ups, and much like Myst before it, Amerzone: The Explorer’s Legacy is enhanced by years of gaming innovation.
