A True Return To Form

Let's face it... while Broken Sword 3 and 4 had good stories, there was just something missing from the gameplay and overall feel about them that the first twos games brought. Broken Sword 5 recaptures that feeling from the first two games - the look, the music, the sense of mystery and adventure - it's all there. The hint system works well for giving you a nudge in the right direction without giving away the whole solution, the story is well scripted and the characters are voiced well. I'm looking forward to Episode 2 being released.

NEARLY back in form

My BS5 pro's and con's: (!---->might contain spoilers<----!) Plus: - Graphics, animations and colours - The soundtrack - The atmosphere (Henri's office, Fleur's shop, Hobb's studio, Castell Del Sants, Montserrat, Santa Cova chapel, etc. - WOW!) - Enjoyable dialogues / German voices - Puzzles: Gehnen's map, the telegram and "Ave Maria" - TREVOR! - The Hendersons - The Goat (Any chance to release a spin-off with just Trevor and the goat? :D) - "Jasmin" Minus: - The delay ... - Episode 1 was a little lame - German voices in different volume levels - The last chapter, "Eden". (What about a real challenging puzzle and a longer epilogue?) - Missing suspense - Pretty easy (and too short!) All things considered, i would rate it 3,5 out of 6 stars. For me, a perfect mix would be the extent and the locations of BS2 and the thrill of BS3 (remember for example that sneaking into the mansion?).

Better than 3 and 4

It feels more like BS1 and BS2 than the other 2 sequels. The story is quite good. There is zero pixelhunt. You run into familiar faces. I comes with hint system that did a good job no telling more that I did to knew.

The real Broken Sword 3

If you loved the first two BS games, then you'll also enjoy this one. The story is thrilling, the humour is great, the dialogues are very well written and the characters are interesting. Only criticism: Only the first half of the game has been released :( But it is so good that I want to know how the story continues! Highly recommended!

Solid, but...

Played all of them... Loved the Puzzles, the Stories and the Jokes. Charakters, Szenes and Story is still great. On the other Hand - the Puzzles are so easy to solve and it´s not thrlling enough. But still great
