I loved the original Broken Sword game, so I was happy that I got it for free during a giveaway. The Directors cut have some ups and down. The ups: - I have enjoyed Nico's story - highlighting the interactable areas - some people don't like but it's a great thing that happened in adventure games, and I'm glad it's here too! No more pixel hunting yay! - You can't die. This might lose us some cutscenes but at least we don't have to go way back if we forgot to save the game. - It's Broken Sword! The cons: - some cutscenes were cut and/or edited to be shorter which was unneccesary in my opinion. - (SPOILER) no blood in cutscenes...? Knives changed for guns in the last cutscene??? They were much better as they were originally. You can shoot a dude but you can't throw a knife in his neck? - Sometimes the sound quality change is jarring when it changes between the old and new dialogues. Overall, I enjoyed it, but I really miss the original cutscenes. :(
