Brilliant game
Amazing, clear refreshed graphics. It's great to be able to play it like this. The story is always brilliant to play through and George's comments never get old. Bring on the second one!

A lovely remake!
I am a huge fan of the Broken Sword series as they were amongst my favourite games as a child on the Playstation. When I saw that Revolution were trying to fund a remake with updated visuals and modern mechanics I had to back it and well, here we are! This game retains all the charm of the original and plays just as I remembered with the updated 4k artwork being gorgeous. With a tab of the Tab button you can return to the old school look of 1996 but it doesn't look as good as I recalled from back then, so the new visuals are the way to go. The sound and music is the same as the original and has been cleaned up as best as possible but there are some lines of dialogue which are particularly noisy as a result, but don't detract from the gameplay that much. The game also provides hints that can help you when and if you get stuck and has two modes. Original which has manual hand holding and story which makes key interactions and objects handily highlighted onscreen to reduce potential frustration. In closing this is a brilliant game, well worth your time. Let's hope that the Smoking Mirror gets the same treatment.

A masterpiece - excellently restored
Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged is a nearly perfect remaster of the old classic. All the scenes look like I remember them - and only switching back to the original graphics reveals how much they have actually improved. There's still a few points of critique though: The scenes from the Director's cut are missing, the game is quite costly, given that it's already the third release and the audio quality (especially the English voice over) is partly subpar. The last point is understandable, given that they had to use the original recordings, but at some points it feels like they could have been improved more. All in all it was a great throwback to one of my most beloved games from my youth and I'm happy it was brought to modern systems.
