Broken Sword 2: Remastered (2010)

One of the best games I've played, recommend

Good old game bring back to old time

What can I say? My all time favourite game. I've gotta say I am not a fan of the additions, the character portraits are absolutely unecessary and add nothing to the experience at all, do yourself a favour and download the original version that comes with this purchase.

I think most of the positive reviews come from nostalgia. After playing the original and liking I decided to go for the second installment in the series. Nico's character is significantly "nerfed" in this one, the pacing is all over the place, sometimes the scenario or interactions do not make sense. One positive are the interesting locations, yet still, not as diverse as the first game.

I'll start by saying that this was a fun, solid point and click, albeit not as good as the first. It was great to play as Nico and George again and their characters continued to be fun. The puzzles weren't overly difficult and MOST of them made enough sense. There is a hint system, which was nice when it didn't quite make sense. I didn't give it higher rating mostly because of the beginning. The beginning just throws you into the mix without much context. There is more context but it comes in the form of a "graphic novel" that I assume came with the remaster. I didn't really start enjoying it until a quarter of the way in but quickly did. I also will say that there are parts that didn't quite age that well, with the treatment of South American people and culture, but I've seen worse from 90s games.
