I'm a few hours in - I've at the tail-end of the first day - and I am thoroughly enjoying it. I don't normally add a review this early - but - the exploration is great, the story is absolutely awesome - and I really hope they can keep this going. Puzzles are fun - just tricky enough. I don't think combat is great - there can tell it's not AAA level testing (hell - in your house, within 5 minutes, you'll keep going into the bathroom thinking - wait - how is the toilet (washroom) from the other side not producing an extended corridor in here ... it's like Seinfeld's apartment). But - put that aside - the story is fun ... I almost wish I had just done the low-combat setting when I started the game. So far - story is awesome - tapes are cool - it's fun to be back in 90s, wearing a walkman, old computers - bit of seemingly Lovecraftian leviathans around ... I dunno. CERTAINLY no Resident Evil style horror or - no - don't come expecting that; and expect indie-level testing and occasional bugs (like - why does a indie developer give all these camera options and stuff - stick to one path). That said - I haven't had any big bugs - just smaller visual ones I haven't cared much about. 9/10 from me - so far, considering my expectations.
If you can catch this game on sale for $5, it is a mildly entertaining way to pass a few hours. However, do not go into it expecting a polished masterpiece. The entire experience can be summed up in one word: "meh." The Bad: Stiff Presentation: Character controls and animations feel incredibly rigid and stiff. Amateur Rigging: The character rigging is noticeably poor. It genuinely looks like it was outsourced to one of the interns listed in the credits. Underwhelming Art: The character art lacks polish and fails to stand out. Bland Narrative: The story is flat, uninspired, and frankly quite boring. Language Annoyance: The constant presence of French text everywhere becomes plain annoying after a while. The Good: Decent Puzzles: The puzzles are mildly engaging and keep your brain working enough to prevent total boredom. Frequent Discounts: The game drops to $5 very often. At that price point, the value is fair. Final Verdict: It is a thoroughly middle-of-the-road game. Buy it only on a deep sale if you have a weekend to kill and love puzzle games, but keep your expectations low.
A satisfying Resi like exploration puzzle game that happens to have occasional combat and a pretty interesting story. You'll go through a small village gathering items and finding ways to progress even deeper in as well as a few powers that you will use to change the setting to either stormy or snowy. The combat is a bit eh in the fact that it is a bit simple. There only seems to be 3 types of enemies and they all do relatively the same move set. You should use your super ammo as often as you can, not because it's needed but to just make things faster. Got through the whole game never using it at all and feel a smidge of regret there. Should take about a 8-10 stretch the first time to get 100% as well as a quick 3-4 sprint for the last achievement. Do note that the Broken Pieces Wiki works as the best kind of checklist at the end of the game to do a cleanup before finishing. Would absolutely say that $10 is a fair price for what is here.
Broken Pieces proved to be an awesome, albeit short, experience. Despite notably clunky controls, the game’s strong atmosphere, interesting graphics, and compelling Lovecraftian mystery made it worthwhile. I found the protagonist, Elise, to be an endearing and relatable character, noting that her deep reminiscence for her boyfriend added a human touch to her isolation. A standout feature was the cassette mechanic; instead of relying on static notes or files, the narrative unfolded through audio you could play while exploring. Ultimately, I felt her descent into madness was a classic, effective Lovecraftian conclusion that resonated well with the game's overall vibe.
