The Journeyman Project 3: Legacy of Time

Having owned all three games in the trilogy I have always wanted to play them again, one by one. My original CD's had major issues with playing the audio correctly which made me unable to play this epic game again. I can not say how happy I was when I saw this title being offered a new, in an enhanced DVD version too! The audio and video works flawlessly and the graphics actually look pretty decent too. For any Journeyman fan out there, this is a must.

I own the original series, but can't play them on Windows 7 for obvious reasons. I am looking forward to GOG getting the whole set done and I hope GOG will offer them AS a set, the way I bought them. I also hope you will include the original, first game with the rest of the series because it does add to the story-line.

This game and its puzzles, content, and witty dialogue NEVER get old. I can play through it in a few hours, but I still love it and play it. This is, and will forever be, one of my all-time favorite puzzle games.

It's been years since I played this game, but I still have many fond memories. It has a creative plot, interesting locations and one of the more memorable adventure game characters in my experience (no, not the Antlantean ferryman, but he comes close). Managing to have a witty companion character that avoids being annoying is an impressive feat alone. The game is not without faults of course. This is an FMV game, and suffers from the standard drawbacks of said games: long pointless dialogue sequences, hit and miss acting, railroading, etc. On the plus side, the detailed 360-degree viewable environments were a selling point of the game, and I remember them working quite well. Puzzles can be obscure, but not as opaque as its predecessor Journeyman 2. I'm marking this 3 stars as I think it's not for everyone, it can be slow paced even for an adventure game at times. If you catch this on sale, however, snap it up. It'll be more fun than a pair of pants full of weasels.

First off: I didn't play the GOG "version" yet but got my old 4 CD game running on my pc and I'm looking forward playing again without doing the whole "I need to tweek this whole thing that way". The setting ist just crazy and it is quite simple to understand a bit behind it. The sci-fi elements are not that dominant throughout the game as only the HUD really gives you the feeling of being a time travelling dude with some special abilities. For the game itself it is really good if you like to solve puzzles in a unique style that needs you to often do something first on another place in the same timeline or even in another timeline. The visual style aged a bit badly but what do you expect of a game with prerendered and real life actors which give the characters something special? Still it is quite pleasent to the eye and can be looked over as you are more involved with getting this one puzzlke done you can't quite figure out yet. And don't get me started with Arthur...he just rules. End of discussion. His jokes/banters? Priceless. Even in german (which is the version I played first and unfortunately it is not available here. But still, the jokes are just genius). Overall: if you want a challenging first person puzzler, buy it and just feel how the game takes it's toll with some hours of your precious time. After completing it a few times this time is cut into smaller pieces but it still is as good as the first time playing it!
