Comes with the original version!

I love Broken Sword. I've played every iteration of Broken Sword Shadow of The Templars that I can get my hands. I can't say that I don't like the Director's Cut, because I do. However this is getting 5 Stars purely because it comes with the original version of the game as well and not because of the additional DC content I would strongly reccommend that people consider playing the original version of this game first, which as mentioned is included with the DC version. Imo; Nico's additional parts feel kind of contrived and throw the pacing off at points. Which is a real shame as I personally love Nico but feel that the additional scenes in a way kind of detract from her as a character. That said, it's a good update, just perhaps uneccessary in places and something the BS2 HD remaster handles much better.

4.5/5 Still quite good

I never played the original, but I knew it for the infamous goat puzzle, and after all these years I finally got to it and enjoyed it a lot, it certainly shows it's age, but nothing to keep me from recommending it to fans of the genre, the story was good (for videogame standards), the voice acting was a little rough (sometimes it sounds like really old audio) And the puzles have that balanvce of not being too hard or too easy ( I guess they tweaked them for the director's cut), I had to brute force my way on a few, but fortunatekly never encountered a "fail state"

One of the classics

This is one of my all time favorite adventure games. I've played both the original version and the director's cut, and both are good in their own right. The story of this game is simply amazing, and the way it gives context to a lot of the puzzles is great. The voice acting is excellent and the soundtrack is timeless. It's been a few years since I last played it, but as far as I can remember this game has less problems with "moon logic" puzzles than some of the others of its time. The art is excellent and it's a joy to go through the different locations, which are pretty varied. My favorite section is Spain, and I'll say that it made me cry at least once. Wherever the series ended up going, it's worth looking into how it started.

Classic remastered

Next to the Monkey Island series, the Broken Sword series is arguably the most classic franchise in the entire point-and-click genre. The original Shadow of the Templars from 1996 has aged very well. The hand-drawn backgrounds by the masters of the Walt Disney studio have been in no need of remastering. However, the Director's Cut does offer a few graphical tweaks. Dialogue now features close-ups of the faces of those speaking, and the subtitles got a better resolution. I liked this comic-like style and found it made the dialogues more attractive to follow. The Director's Cut also includes more content! It adds the brand new missions for the Nico that take place before the bomb attack in the coffee shop. It is kind of like a prequel to the main story. That's right, Shadow of the Templars is the only title in the series where the player doesn't have control of Nico. But there is one case that makes me wonder: does the Director's Cut make it easier to solve the puzzles? I mean, the goat puzzle is already legendary amongst point-and-click fans. There are rumours of hours and hours of play time with the goat before the puzzle was solved. And in this edition, I solved it on the first go. So... are the puzzles easier or was I just incredibly lucky?

A lot of fun and authentic, a classic.

Writing this in 2023, this game has aged quite well. The game is paced well, not too simple puzzles and not always linear sequences, the art is excellent and the sense of humor of the writers is far better than anything nowadays. A bit cheeky at times on anything religious (a man of God and wrist action, somehow I wouldn't make that connection right away..), but within the limits of good taste. Highly recommended to any fans of point and click adventures. Great 8-10 hours of fun.
