This game was and still is one of my all-time favourites. A great storyline, engaging gameplay and puzzles that made you work for it. In more recent years the only issue I have with it looking back is the localization from Working Design which needlessly increased the amount of hit points for enemies and also took a few too many liberties with the translation. Honestly it would be amazing if GOG were somehow able to bring not just the Western version of this game to the roster, but also the Japanese version if only so that people could possible experience the game as it was originally intended.

I remember playing this game on Playstation 1 . Adventure RPG at its finest. A lot of people call this a zelda clone, but it is not, it is an underrated rpg. I remeber playing i believe it was iside of a ship, and there was a part that there was a lot of platforming. Imagine platforming in an isometric view, it was so frustrating, but I had fun. and I would like to play it agian.

Sony's response to Zelda and going to even darker themes Nintendo would never go with their hero Link. Alundra is a tough puzzle nut and has the first elements of a Souls-like RPG. And the story. Oh dear lord, the story. Only Terranigma and FF VII reached this level of emotional journey dealing with the theme of loss and failing in your quest.

Do you remember that moment growing up, when you discovered the world could be more complex and beautiful than you ever imagined as a kid? Alundra is that moment for me; every pixel, every sound effect, every piece of music and dialog is so perfect to me, it's a very unique mix of atmosphere and elegance. This game helped discover a way to experience the world in ways far deeply than I've ever felt from any book, movie, TV show or any other form of art before or since. Please preserve these memories for me and for all the people out there; help more people experience this masterpiece of a game

This game shaped so much of what I like in games and storys today. Though I never experienced a game like this again, yet. I love how it portraits different kind of people, their flaws and fears. What I like the most: The mechanic to enter peoples nightmares to try and save them from demons and inner conflicts. Those nightmares were thrilling and ugly and confusing and hard to get through sometimes. But even at a young age I noticed the detail that was put in each one. Like using a maze-puzzle part you need to cross as a player, to show the characters feeling of being lost and not finding back. I wasn't scared to look into those characters abysses. I was thrilled to learn about them in such abstract ways and hopefully save them. Not to forget: The beautiful and epic music which also plays a big role to set the tone for this dark adventure.
Just bing it!!!!!!! Its an amazing zelda-like game. Puzzle solving, action packed, great story, great visuals. One of the best in PS1. Too bad this game was forgotten by the community

This is easily my favorite Zelda clone of all time. I played the crap out of this as a kid, and even revisit it from time to time. I played this again recently and it still holds up today. Mainly because it has a slightly darker story then what you might expect from the genre.
Those games also need your vote!

Cole's Legacy is an expansion pack for Infamous: Second Son which was initially available only by pre-ordering the game (For US Customers), or purchasing the Special Edition (All other Countries).

There are also some more minor changes such as the zipper on the jacket is also revealed due to Delsin wearing it without zipping it up and covering it, and also small changes to the collar area of the jacket.
