The good old Baphomets Fluch. Again in typical optic. Puzzles are a bit illogical, but it’s fun. Nice colors and Story. Love it.

I love the graphics. I know it is old fashioned but the fact that Catalonia is in the game and the drawings of Montserrat make me love this game. I also like the characters. And it brings nostalgia.

Broken Sword's puzzles never disappoints (I mean it in a sarcastic way). I've played the first installment, The Shadow of the Templars way back in 1997 (or 96, I'm not sure anymore), as a dare from one of my friends, who considers this, the most boring game they have ever played. And I've been hooked ever since. The same feeling, or sense of accomplishment when you have solved a puzzle, no matter how farfetched and unbelievable it can be. Probably that's why they put hints, so players won't get bored easily when already locked in determining what to do. The game is not for everybody, the story is heavily influenced by Dan Brown's 'Da Vinci Code' (even one of the characters that sounds like Rackham) and Umberto Eco's 'The Name of the Rose' . If you like solving puzzles and enjoy a little cinematic storytelling, then you will enjoy this game. Otherwise, it will just sleep in you game list, forever.

The game is an improvement over 3 and 4, but the bar really isn't high. It's lower than the floor. It's alright but if feels like it's missing.. something.

It's a decent point-and-click adventure game. The story is kinda mid with a few interesting moments, the characters are mostly forgettable, and some of the puzzles are borderline impossible without outside help (I'm looking at you desk puzzle). Would I suggest it? If you are a fan of the Broken Sword series, then yes. But if you are a newcomer to the series, go and play either the 1st or 2nd game first as your enjoyment of them will determine if this game is worth considering buying. Overall, I'd say buy it on a sale. The story, the puzzles, and the characters and their dialogue are the main focuses of games like this, and unfortunately it's a rather average game, a servicable 5/10. It's not bad, but it's also not good. If you want to take my word for it, I never laughed once at any joke or supposedly funny moment in this game, meanwhile with 1 and 2 I did laugh several times.
