Good, but ultimately forgettable
Being a massive fan of the first and second game, I was very much looking to playing this title as it's evident that it is a return to the style of play from the earlier games. Indeed, the game opens with an apparent murder in an art gallery, and we're introduced to George and Nico again wanting to solve the murder in their own charming way. First of all whereas they've used 3D character models, it is clear that they've made the game looks aesthetically like the earlier games. The backdrops, as ever, are gorgeous. The story slowly unfolds to involve the Gnostics, who seem to be unfairly maligned historically. Overall, on the surface, this appears to be a return to form for Broken Sword. Unfortunately I felt the game lacked heart, in that events indeed seemed to happen, but as a player I didn't feel particularly involved. George seems to lack the humor, whereas Nico lacks character. Furthermore, I felt this would have been a good opportunity to develop their relationship in the series. This is the fifth game, and it feels as though they have not developed as characters. Old characters appear for the sake of appearance. The later puzzles seem lack a sense of 'fair play' for the player. I can remember playing the first game and being absolutely enthralled by things like the train scene, and escaping a cave to be confronted by Khan. It was exciting and showed a lot of skill in story telling. Unfortunately that sense of creativity is lacking in the fifth instalment.
