The Reforged version of Broken Sword is finally a careful, loving, and faithful renewal of the original game, preserving its charm and character. To those who miss the additional content from the Director's Cut, I can only say: thank goodness (it's not included). The added intro in the Director's Cut completely ruined the iconic opening of the game. It was anti-climactic and featured stiff Flash-animated cutscenes. The static portraits during conversations were also unpopular, as they didn’t blend well with the original design and felt out of place. I recommend this YouTube comparison video for a direct look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u24Kt1X4xaQ Overall, it’s a real pleasure to finally be able to enjoy the original gaming experience in a modern format, with vibrant colors and smooth animations free of pixelated artifacts. Lighting has been added to the scenes, making them look more realistic (some areas are slightly brighter, others darker), and characters now cast dynamic shadows. As some aspects of the game design may have become a little outdated over time, such as the trial-and-error puzzles, there is now an optional(!) hint system with varying levels of guidance, which is particularly helpful for newcomers. Now I can finally let my nephews experience this wonderful adventure series for themselves, too!
Please GOG can you make it possible to get a version with all languages in it? Because im used to play it in German. We all have our memories about the games being in our language. the german voice over was quiet good. i would love it when you add more languages, especially for the adventure genre games. for strategy games like rollercoaster tycoon i dont really care about the language.. but as for the adventures its really important to have the voice over we are used to.. im going to buy all Simon titles when they have also german voice over.
