I've been waiting for some time now to replay this masterpiece from my teenage years ! After some attempts to mods, correct, and tinker with it, I never got rid of the lag, freeze or sound issues. Since March, GoG has updated the game for Win10 ans 11...and it wokrs ! I've been playing for 3h and excepts from one or two graphical glitch, the game runs as smoothly as ever ! Thank you GoG preservation program...truly thank you !
Broken Sword is legend. I first played this game on Playstation, at the time I was not much of a PC games. The release of the Director’s Cut edition convinced me to by the first episode out of pure nostalgia. The only thing I have to say is that this new edition is a bit of a disappointment. First, I always wondered why people had the urge to modify great gaming classic without thinking about carefully beforehand. The Director’s Cut just does not add anything good too the previous experience the game could offer. The comic book style drawing are alright, but differ from the original image old gamers could had of the heroes. But on the technical aspect, the game is just completely messed up. The absence of high resolution is strange for a version of a game released like 12 years after the original considering the evolution of PC standards.All you’ll get is a blurry effect to hide the disgracious pixels or they thought. Don’t get me wrong, everything is not that bad. There is one big positive point that the Director’s Cut version had and it’s the new scenes that extend the scenario. They manage to give the story a little more depth without sacrificing the coherence and the original aura of the game. Thus those new segments of the game are a delight and are pushing the length of the game up to 12 hours total. With the GOG version of the game, apart from the usual bonus that kick-ass, you now get the original version. And THAT is just great. You will be able to enjoy the game the way you like: as a digital archeologist who wants to have the purest experience possible or curious gamers who just want to see everything the game has to offer through the director’s cut version. In both cases, what you’ll get is entertaining adventure game with immortal cartoon graphics, challenging riddles, thrilling plot, sharp humour and an unforgettable experience. Broken Sword stays what it always has been: a great game
