How to make a classic into total trash
This is an atrocity. It feels like a completely different game. And a bad one. The story has been changed, scenes added and removed, the voice acting is -censored-, not helping is the absence of sound engineering with dialogues mixed from different recordings oh so obviously; even the music sounds horrible for some reason. The reworked art reminds me of those prefabs everyone added to adverts in the era of Clippy. Even the intro, oh, the intro. And let's not even start with the technical aspects of the game, like "fullscreen" being devoid of any resolution settings, simply being a maximized borderless window with a horrible, blurry, upscale from the original 640x480. FFmpeg has better upscaling and it's real-time (which, honestly, this probably is, too, it would explain why it's so bad). Obviously nobody bothered to retouch the art, they simply added more where needed so new scenes have background that is sharp while the original sprites are upscaled and seem like they actually have some jpeg artifacts in "fullscreen", in scenes where they added some comparatively high-res videos in corners of the screen, at least three layers of incompatible pictures, resolution-wise, are clearly visible. You can actually get the original if you download it separately by going to goodies/extras section - for some reason, it's not included in the game download. I suggest those who want to find out why so many people loved Broken Sword to ignore the main content and only focus on the extras. 1 star for DC, +1 star for GOG's "packaging" (inclusion of the original).
