I really liked Resonance, there isn't one Wadjet Eye game that I haven't liked. The story and setting are simpler than Gemini Rue, for example, but it has a really great system of puzzles and very wide range of them. You can control up to 4 characters in one moment and the developers managed to get them to interact in some very cool ways. Maybe there could have been some improvements regarding usability: a shortcut to switch characters and one to return the map come to mind.
This game is great, I really liked the story and the world building is amazing. The puzzles are all logic and the voices are very good. The "action" sequences are simple enough so nobody should avoid playing this game because of that.
This game is really bad: the 3D doesn't work well, the weird mix between using the mouse and the arrows doesn't work, it has some of the most illogical puzzles (manuscripts!) I have ever encountered in an adventure game, you can't skip dialogs, a lot of times you have to do some things in a certain order to unlock an action, the "stealth" sections are pretty lame with guards that have magical eyes in the back and sometimes don't see you 2 meters away, the hacking games are way to many.... and I could go on and on with the downsides of this game. Only play it if you want to complete all the Broken Swords. I haven't played BS5 yet but it seems that it won't have been necessary to play this game (story-wise). This is the worst Broken Sword game BY FAR.
This game is great, the humour feels fresh for a Point-&-Click adventure. The puzzles have logic inside the world of the game. The protagonist of the game, Hector, reminded me a lot to the Captain in the Life on Mars TV series in how he speaks and style. I would totally buy more Hector stories but it doesn't seem likely that more are on the way.
This is a really good game. It's one game in four chapters. The individual ratings would be: * Legacy: *** * Unbound: **** * Convergence: **** * Deception: **** Legacy is 3 stars probably because it's the origin story. The next ones improve a lot. It's also very clear how the developers learnt from each episode and "fixed" the gameplay and ui for the next game. I hope to play the fifth chapter soon.
Very good game by adventure legends Gilbert and Winnick. Very funny, specially Ransome the Clown. I liked the unexpected ending. The puzzles were mostly ok, and by that I mean logical, some of them provoked the classical "what were the designers thinking!". Highly recommended.
