Franchise Low-Point
If you are a fan of the BS series like I am, you might still like parts of this game. The story is interesting enough, but it lacks much of the lore depth the other games have. It will rarely explain anything beyond the surface, which bugged me at times - being a lore nut myself. What it does well: -98% voice-acted -the templar manuscripts are beautiful -Stobbart-quips -Puzzle/item variety -good story -fun side characters -3D controls are much better than BS3 -surprisingly long game What it does poorly: -clunky movement -many puzzles are devoid of logic -frustrating real-time segments -inventory bogged down by excess dead items -can't skip dialogue -confusing cut scenes Is it worth playing? If this is your first point-n-click, absolutely not. If you like the series? Maybe. If you are intrigued by the story? Probably. I had to use hints for most of it since the game almost always makes you guess what you are supposed to be accomplishing. The puzzle designer really didn't give much thought as to how someone other than themself could solve these. The real-time elements, as with 95% of P-n-C's I've played, are absolute garbage, and terribly frustrating. I gave it 3 stars because it's definitely the worst game of the series, but not a terrible experience. I still enjoyed it overall, but make sure not to set your expectations too high. If I were to compare this to the other games in the series, it would be getting 2 stars. As for game length, I was actually pretty happy with this area. P-n-C's tend to be pretty short compared to lots of other games, but I'd put this one on the longer side: I played it over the course of a couple weeks and it took me almost 12hrs with occasional glances at hints. According to Galaxy, the average playtime for this is 7.5 hrs.
