Review of Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars by Niclas
This is how an Adventure Game should be made
This is how an Adventure Game should be made. If all Adventure Games followed this concept, the world would be a better place.
First of all the story is top notch. It can easily rival famous conspiracy/adventure/thriller authors like Dan Brown, Clive Cussler, and Steve Berry. If not even better!
Second of all is that the puzzle design is perfectly integrated into the environment and gaming world. Most of the puzzles are inventory based, but most of the definitely make sense, and makes you think.
Character development, voice acting, and art work, is also perfectly done. You actually care about the characters and the gaming world.
This game rivals the Gabriel Knight series of being one of the best Adventure Games of all time.
This is a must play adventure game, and should be on every Adventure Gamers list of Must plays.
