Crashes frequently

The game is not surviving the progression of technology. I've had multiple crashes. It's from the era where everything made the jump to 3D, before we realized that not everything needed to make that jump. As such, the controls aren't great, and there's puzzles that are more physics based than logic based. Like pushing crates around. Apparently there's a bunch of those. I wish, like the previous entries in this series, you could skip through conversations. When the game crashes and you have to replay a fair chunk, it would come in handy. Save often.

Solid Broken Age game

I really liked this one. It's not a great game and the graphics didn't age too well. I know this is heresy, but I actually prefer the direct "console-style" controls in this game to point-and-click, because contrary to the latter you're actually doing something most of the time instead of waiting and watching your character do something. Regarding everything else: the story, characters, voice acting, puzzles etc., I'd say if you liked the first two Broken Sword games, you'll like this one, maybe to a lesser degree, but still enough to enjoy it.

It's not bad

This game came out when point and click adventure was dying just like Escape From Monkey Island. The story, characters and writing isn't bad at all in fact it's very much enjoyable. And the controls are abnormal as all hell but you can get use to them. In fact just like Escape from Monkey Island I can't hate this game because I remember being a kid and seeing screenshots and wanting so bad to play it so when I finally got it I played the hell out of the game. It is far from perfect and they honestly should have stuck with mouse controls. But it's very playable.

Intense, Dark but way over the top

Broken Sword 3 was a huge disappointment for most hardcore Broken Sword fans because of the new graphics - but do any of us REALLY care? There's intense drama, a new dark setting and a rather sinister, albeit over-the-top, story. Again George Stobbart is plunged into a mystery that, once again, threatens the world and all it's inhabitants. Broken Sword 3 carries on the normal globe-trotting traditions and difficult puzzles but this time in a completely new 3D engine. Hardcore Broken Sword fans may find this title disappointing and the dozens of "crate puzzles" are a great annoyance, but Revolution has once again given us great characters, settings and stories full of history, mystery and scandal.

Terrible controls

Beautiful looking game but I found it totally unplayable without mouse controls. I have never played a console game in my life and have no wish to start now...Why list a mouse under system requirements if you can't actually use one?
