While i am not a big fan of the broken sword series i really appreciated the story, the problem of this game lies in the boring crate puzzles, the lame stealth scenes and in minor part the 3d enviroment. The rest of the puzzles are on the easy side, you will spend more time replaying the aforementioned bad stealth scene than solving the classical style puzzles. The 3D scenario aren't bad but they are empty and look "artificial", like a theathre diorama. Overall it's a game that you want continue to play to see how it ends, i would probably give 4 stars but you can't skip cutscenes or dialogue!!
Pixel hunting, terrible ship battles and game breaking bugs. Not even Kirk can save this
Instead of improving the rough edges of the previous title (Soldiers: Heroes of World War II) they decided to turn it in a sort of mass action shooting with scripted scenes, no freedom of action, corridor maps. Ofcourse the clunky interface & controls were not improved at all, A big step down.
I would give 5 stars but there are some graphical glitches that requires an external dll. Game is hard, but you can save anywhere and everywhere, the are some mission with bugged scripts so uses different save locations. Enemy AI is excellent when attacking, using cover and surrounding you while it's a bit lackluster in other deparment. Overall a very solid game
It's a slog, also deadly cavalry that can destroy whole divisions of tanks
A better remastered version compared to the first remastered title, but still not enough for me. The style of this point and click adventure is more in the theme of the Monkey Islands games with some weird puzzles, bizzarre characters and situations and so on. So it's less "serious" compared the previous title. 4 stars for the adventure -2 stars for a poorly remaster. 2 stars
At least the original is included in the extras.
I would give 4 stars but the replayability is really low. Some maps are really cool, multiple objective where you can take different routes, but most of the maps forces you to follow a single route with enemies placed in. Forget the melee/unarmed build, probably it's viable for the first part of the game, but then you are usually outnumbered and outgunned. It runs perfectly in windows 10.
But the most of npcs are bullet sponges combined with the corridor level design makes the game pretty boring quickly
It's a sort of point and click / FPS hybrid where the FPS part falls flat. Of this game... Of this game, the atmosphere is super and the various maps are well don, especially the main mansion map is amazing. The game is a sort of FPS/point and click adventure, where the FPS falls flat because of the uninstering weapons and unresponsive NPCs (they look good at least). The various puzzles ranges from easy to irritating, it's easy to miss some important items and there is also a dead end. So don't rely on the quick save slot. Some areas of the game are too dark and the clunky controls doesn't help at all with the navigation. FMV videos are cheesy like a traditional '90s videogame, so they are perfect.
