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.
