Blackwell Bundle

There are many good games, but this series kept raising the bar one step at a time, and it did well. Expect minor bugs here and there, although they are few enough to forgive their existence. And play them in the correct order, because it's all part of one story and the building your experience throughout the story helps you advance and enjoy how the details unfold. 1. The Blackwell Legacy puts you in the shoes of Rosa Blackwell, raised by her aunt, knowing very little about her family, and nothing about the "condition" both her aunt and grandmother had. She does get some answer from her new friend Joey, although he's not too eager to share everything up front. This episode is quite a nice warm up of the series. 2. Blackwell Unbound brings you some well deserved answers about Rosa's aunt Lauren, and also about Joey. It's a shorter episode, and the end will probably make you cringe, but it's a great story build-up for the next episodes. You get to know more about what's possible, and the full picture starts to make more sense, and find yourself wanting to move to the next episode to find out what's next. 3. Blackwell Convergence surfaces an old foe that makes Joey spill up some more details about the past. It brings many questions, it raises the stakes and you get to solve an old and complicated case, feeling like you'd put some big things in order in the Universe. And yet, when you think of it, there's got to be more than that, right? 4. Blackwell Deception complicates things even further. As far as Rosa and Joey have gotten, they solve some apparently regular cases only to discover a new type of foes besides one of Joey's old friends. Yeah, imagine that. :P By the end of this episode you're not sure what to expect any longer. You advanced this far and you found out more about the past, but also about a complicated little society of people who were quietly looking for Rosa. Awesome story and characters. Play them in the right order, then get Blackwell Epiphany.

one of the best adventures i played in ages. i could not stop jumping to the next after every part of the series. the last one made me sad, that it was already over. the story is really good and the characters are believable and loveable.

Great series - fantastic storytelling, fairly easy and very reasonable puzzles and beautiful graphics (perhaps Deception sticks out a little bit, but still looks good). This is a gem of a game, underrated, a must play!

Man, this series is just terrific if you like smart, sassy adventures with well-concocted supernatural elements. I love the spectral snot out of the interaction between Joey the ghost and Rosangela the writer. I would say that the first game is the weakest and the third is the best, but they are all at least very good. A fifth entry is set to come out October '13.

I really liked the first 4 games in the Blackwell series. I never thought I'd find another point & click series that would come even close to Broken Sword 1 & 2, but I can happily say Blackwell is right up there. Only two things bothered me: First one is the puzzles, most of them are easy and logical, but towards the end you might find yourself stuck on a puzzle that doesn't seem to have any logical solution to it. Second con is the length of the games, they are short. There's maybe 2-4 hours worth of content per game. But overall, the series is extremely good. The story is great, the little humour there is made me chuckle and the voice acting is well done too. Highly recommended!
