Broken Sword: Director's Cut

Everybody is crazy for this game, it´s in every Top Whatever Adventure Games of all Time- Ranking and - as many said before - a „must have". Sorry, I don´t get the point. Yes, it´s a nice adventure with some really good and many mediocre puzzles. The story is full of plot holes (especially the DC version) und as soon as it becomes a little thrilling the scene is over. The point that annoyed me the most and really frustrated me was the endless talking and the long and many dialogues. Yes, there are some jokes but in the end it´s all about „talk with person X about everything so you can talk with person Y about a thing more“. You never had to care for proper/right answers or even listen carefully, it just didn´t matter. Just click through all the blabla, go to the next person and start all over again. After ten persons you might get a puzzle. Ahrg! Sorry - yes, I like the main characters and sides, I like the setting, I like the idea of the main plot - but: I little less conversation, a little more action!

I was extremely disappointed by this game. It's supposed to be a puzzle/adventure game, but you spend at solid 80% of game play just clicking through dialogues with various characters ad nauseum, which I do not consider to be solving puzzles. The puzzles that there were were largely too literal and just required doing a tedious repetitive task, and not actually exercising any mental acuity. I would add, as far as the story goes, at no point does the lead female character exhibit any interest in the lead male, and they have no chemistry whatsoever, but of course spoiler alert they have to end up together. Sigh.

After many hours of playing I arrive at a cave, from which it is impossible to get out, for the reason that a bug does not allow it.

you can not!! I say it's in Italian, but it's just text! missing spoke Italian!
