It was a disappointment for me. I was hoping for either a point and click game or an open world adventure. This was neither. Graphics look good and the atmosphere is intriguing, but the story lacks depth. Feels like there would be potential for so much more. I only put the thumb up because it wasn't a complete waste of time. This game has it's moments.

A really immersive mystery set in a small coastal village in France. I played with the french VA, which i recommend, and it really felt like a weird confusing tale where everyone had no idea what was happening or what was going on. The little puzzles that give you museum coins were fantastic. I could play a game of just those puzzles alone. I love the special power you gain to help you solve puzzles. It's a unique mechanic that forces you to think about puzzles in a new way. A lot of the foreshadowing is very on the nose and the ending is very abrupt. The inventory management, especially having to swap between axes and levers, got annoying. The combat was unnecessary, it didn't even feel important as part of the story. But this game is great. It's short, but it's well told. It's a nice supernatural deep sea mystery that ISN'T fucking lovecraft. You have to give it credit for that at least.

Solid game. Looks good and sounds good. Voice acting can be iffy, missing emotion at times (A lot of times), but the story, while confusing, is pretty solid. I really liked the location you were in but some of the things you had to do could be quite tedious at times. And while you get clues, some of the puzzles and objectives were very hard to fins at times. Manipulating the change of season to solve a puzzle or make your way around town was pretty cool. Overall a pretty deep game. Movement was pretty solid, but if you were aiming down the sight you couldn't move. And the avoiding an attack feature was horrible (it did say using a controller was best and I didn't do that). Overall this was a cool game.

For the most part, I felt genuinely immersed by Broken Pieces. It actually puts many pieces of the great adventure game puzzle in all the right places: the visuals, the location design, the narrative, the gameplay mechanics (well, most of them) and the side activities altogether deliver an enjoyable experience. Not outstanding, but definitely worth its time. There is also a nice old-school feeling to this game. It has a bit of a Syberia (or maybe The Longest Journey) touch to it which I definitely loved. It could be because of a fixed camera angles in the first place but it still delivers this nostalgic 2000's experience. However, it's not all peachy. Broken Pieces could have ended in my favorite list if not for the several major shortcomings: - The bugs. The game has been released two years ago and it is still full of showstoppers. It took me three attempts to start a proper playthrough. At first, I started with the shoulder camera and was unable to get past the shooting cans tutorial as the game has just got stuck. So, I did a bit of reading and restarted my playthrough from the same slot but with the fixed camera only to realize that the saving of my progress is not working anymore. So, I had to restart again, but this time around from a different slot. - The combat mechanic. For some reason, it is becoming a norm in the modern adventure games to introduce some action-style gameplay element. In most cases, it fails miserably and Broken Pieces is no exception. The so-called combat here is a simplistic reaction-based minigame that is nothing but a major distraction as it suddenly spawns at random locations and times without prior warning. Thankfully, there is a reduced combat option in the settings to turn down this mess a lot. - Finally, the ending. For me it felt absolutely flat, without leaving any real emotions or thoughts to carry around for a few hours after completing the game. It definitely plays better than it ends. So as a final verdict, Broken Pieces is still worth your attention is 2024 if you're an old-school adventure games lover just like me. It is likely that you will get some 10-15 hours of an enjoyable playthrough but will not walk away completely satisfied.

Ok so this is a beautiful old school adventure game at its heart. It felt like throwback to a 1990s adventure game, but updated to modern standards. If you love adventure games, and do not get bored easily searching around for items and solving puzzles, then this game is a 9 out of 10. If you crave lots of action then this score will drop down to around a 5 or 6 out of 10. The graphics are absolutely gorgeous on ultra settings. The voice acting is superb, best I've heard in a long time. The story was really interesting also, but it is not spoon fed to you. You will have to piece together everything slowly over hours and hours of playtime, listening to tapes and reading documents. One thing I did not like was that there was no map option, I got lost often and could not figure out where to go. Most people do not have the patience these days to play games like this, but die hard adventure gamers will surely be rewarded!
