Broken Sword 4: The Angel of Death  (2006)

Motivation to finish: Love Broken Sword

The puzzles feels way too random and have some obscure requirements. In a good game I never use walkthroughs and always get "in sync" with what the devs were thinking at the time. But after several tries over many years to get through this came (I quit because of boredom or frustration), I caved in and just finished this game with a walkthrough. I was very surprised and frustrated by many of the solutions. The controls are awful, I don't understand how it got so bad. The graphics are of it's time, but the areas you explore still feel so empty and shallow. I think it's a combination of not enough decoration and the unresponsive UI as you hover over things. Give me some input when I hover over things, let George comment on things that are unrelated! Give the scene some history! Then again, that requires puzzles that makes sense, so it's obvious all of that is unrelated so it doesn't become clutter/time sinks... The story is what it is, but it is Broken Sword with all the characters you'd expect. Do you love Broken Sword? Play this, but have a walkthrough close by to get past obstacles that might make you quit or spend hours on with an unsatisfying solution.
