jerec's Doctor Who: Legacy review

Y'know a gigantic Telltale style adventure of endless branches doesn't seem in the BBC's budget, but what would be quite a romp!

I would like to see telltale have a cracked at it.

I know jack all about Doctor Who, having watched the show maybe 1.5 times in my life. Still, I didn't need to know anything about it to understand your review, so thanks for that.

I felt like the tone of this piece shifts quite a bit, though. The first few paragraphs feel like they're setting up a snark piece, then you turn about-face and give us a praise review. It felt a little jarring. Also, by the end of your article, I still felt like this game was kinda garbagey. The graphics don't look great. The font looks like that typical garbage font that you see on all the unpolished indie Android titles out there. The inclusion of pay-to-win mechancis, intrusive ads, and fanfictiony prose was also not encouraging.

However, I installed it on my phone to see for myself, and I have to concede that this game does seem pretty good. The graphics do look okay on the lower resolution of a phone screen. It has plenty of nice hooks to keep people playing, and the character progression and team-building seems fun, even though I had absolutely no emotional attachment to the characters. I'm sure it has even more to offer for rabid fans of the show, like yourself (who are its intended audience anyway).

tldr; A good review, a little bit confusing in places, but overall I agree that this game is probably worth the praise and four stars.

Thank you for the detailed feedback. The tone shift was deliberate. Wantedo to build a certain cynical impression of a mobile game and then turn around and say this one is pretty good.
