    The prime example of how to not do a Broken Sword game

    The gameplay is clunky and a complete frustration to control at times, where the previous game used a control scheme for gaming consoles but still made it work somehow this one failed miserably, making it frustrating to play regardless of you using the keyboard or mouse when controlling your character.

    The facial animations are downright creepy and hilarious, and in my playthrough I came across multiple instances where the player character's left leg would twist into weird positions.

    Like many old Point and Click Adventure games sometimes there isn't a lot of direction on what you have to do, with you having to play the "guess what the developer has in mind" game in order to progress. The inventory is a complete mess with it being presented as a line at the top of the screen that you scroll through and with the game not clearing out items you will never need again it will end up being a convoluted mess. In my playthrough I also came across a bug that made the game unbeatable, this bug taking the form of a key item that somehow vanished from my inventory and I do remember having that item at some point during the game.

    The story is very in style with the Broken Sword series and one of the few good aspects of the game however, the ending comes pretty abruptly without giving the game an epilogue to the events. The voice acting for the most part is pretty good as well, sometimes they dialogue comes off as being a bit cheesy but works well within the Broken Sword series.

    In the end I could only recommend this game to anyone only and only if they are die hard fans of the franchise, and even then I would caution them to only play it if they can't fathom skipping a game in the series. For every one else, stay away! This game is not worth your time, I am sure there are countless other games you would rather be playing
