Pick Your Poison
Choose Carmen Sandiego if...
*Carmen Sandiego* is a worthwhile purchase for fans of the original series and those looking for a casual, educational adventure game. However, those seeking deep complexity or a longer campaign might find it lacking. Proceed with caution if you dislike mandatory service logins.
Choose Underground Blossom if...
Underground Blossom is a well-crafted adventure game that delivers a solid dose of Rusty Lake's signature style. While some may find it shorter or easier than previous entries, it's a worthy addition to the series and highly recommended for existing fans; newcomers might want to start with a free Cube Escape title first.
