Jan. 2026

Not bad adventure game! 5/10 + Not bad sequel. + Not bad visual style. + Good voice acting. + References to previous parts of the game. + Not bad humor. - Bad combination of good 2D backgrounds and not good 3D characters. - Slow animation. - Uninteresting storyline. - Lots of boring dialogues. - Lots of stupid moments. - Stupid puzzles. - Still no love line between George and Nico. Only for fans of the great classic "Broken Sword" dilogy!

Nov. 2025

Players argue that this installment of the series just doesn't hit the high standard set by the first game. It doesn't, thats true, but it missed the mark by just a small margin. So overall, this is a darn good game with humor and zany characters where the puzzles mostly make sense and you can do without peeking into a walkthrough.

Aug. 2025

This is a funny, story rich point and click. Runs great on the deck and looks good on the deck too !

July 2025

Fantastic artwork, captivating storytelling, and an effortless sojourn through George and Nico's quest to solve the riddle of an obscure painting, make this instalment of the Broken Sword series fun to play. Returning to it's original point and click design, the interface is easy to use. Transitions are smooth and effortless. Every character is well developed. It's effortless to pass the time with this game. Rated 7 out of 10.

June 2025

Great classic game in the new (but so nice) graphics. 100 % recommend.
