What players say

More cases and a fleshed out storyline make Blackwell Convergence a well-paced, satisfying sequel to Unbound. Rosa's partnership with Joey has matured organically - I think Wadjet Eye was smart to briefly focus on Lauren as a protagonist and give the audience a sense of time progressing. I miss the combining clues mechanic but the puzzles are still top-notch, as is the OST.

Another great Blackwell game, this time bringing Rosa back. I loved how all the connections from the previous games tied together perfectly. Once again, the story, voice acting, and atmosphere were all excellent. Another fantastic chapter in the Blackwell series.

Music & atmosphere of every location is the true star of the show in this part of the saga. With great art, every new screen breathed, immersing into the game world. Really liked it.
