I wanted to like it
I'm a big fan of Broken Sword 1, 2 and 5. But this one? Nope, sadly I can't really recommend it, the controls are mediocre, the amount of crate pushing is atrocious and even the writing falls short of the charme and humour of the originals. 1 of the two Stars is for having nice representation of a goth though

Terrible game
The story was so-so. The memberberries were appreciated, but didn't do much to distract from weird plot choices, like bringing the legend of King Arthur into a story centered around the Knights Templar. The voice acting ranged from pretty good (George and Nico) to downright awful (Vernon's girlfriend). The worst thing about this game, however is the gameplay. I can understand the desire to add a little *Tomb Raider* flavor to a *Broken Sword* game, and if done properly it absolutely could have worked. *IF* done properly. Which it wasn't. The platforming wasn't fluid enough. The crate puzzles were tedious and boring. And the "cinematic" camera angles have been a bad idea ever since *Alone in the Dark* first tried them back in 1992. Places are too big, which would only make sense if you had several routes for dealing with a problem (like busting in through the front doors vs smooth-talking a bouncer vs sneaking in via the roof or a cellar). When there's only one correct approach, extensive locations just amount to a waste of your time. Sneaking mechanics lack indication of your level of exposure. QTEs have too short reaction windows and their cues aren't noticable enough. Dialogue and cutscenes aren't skippable. Not recommended.

Skip unless you're a completionist
The move to 3D was a trend at the time, but this was not a good move for the Broken Sword series. If you loved the point and click mechanics of Broken Sword 1 and 2, then you will be disappointed here. The controls are terrible and there is too much focus on box puzzles. The story is OK, but honestly, I would skip this one unless you're a completionist.

Not bad but shows its age
The clunky controls, awkward camera angle changes, and old 3D graphics have not aged very well. Still, the game is worth playing for the story and atmosphere. Most of the puzzles are typical adventure game "exhaust all options" fare but the Sokoban-like box puzzles were quite enjoyable.
