The legacy system works less well, I think, in a co-op game.
Really?
I've not played Risk Legacy. I've not yet played Pandemic Legacy. But I see a lot of people saying an issue with Risk Legacy is the legacy from one game distorting the relative powers of the factions for all subsequent games.
Now, when it's players against the system, that's fine. When it's players against one another, it feels like more of a problem. Thematic, maybe, but not a fun game any more?
Yes, it gives new powers to factions, but you don't get to keep the same faction from game to game; it's one of the things that you pick at the start of a game (along with starting location, how many troops you get, and turn order). So if a faction turns out to be strong, it'll get picked quickly by someone, and that someone isn't necessarily you.
