TL:DR Probably the worst game in the series so far, only for fans of the series. For starters, let's fix the low framerate and the sound glitching: Go to the game's properties in the Steam client: disable the Steam overlay(1), click on "Set launch options", put -compat-on and confirm(2,[www.gog.com]3)[www.gog.com]. Open \Steam\steamapps\common\Broken Sword 4\system\custom.ini in a text editor and look for this line: m_uiUseExtraProcessors = 0 Change 0 to 1 and save(4); Open \Steam\steamapps\common\Broken Sword 4\system\compat.ini in a text editor and look for these lines: m_bDSoundLocDeferOn and m_bDSoundLocForceSoftwareOn Change the first line's value to 0, the second to 1 and save(5)[www.gog.com]. This should be enough to make the game more enjoyable. Now, about the game. This fourth chapter really felt rushed. Some characters felt rushed (I can't complain about Mark and A
This is the fourth game in Broken Sword series and... uhm... Oh, for god’s sake! No. Just no. Plain and simple. This game isn't worthy of the Broken Sword name. What have you done to the beloved franchise??? Sorry for blurting my frustration out but Broken Sword 4 - the Angel of Death is a complete disappointment for any fan of the series, and would be most certainly a wrong choice to introduce someone to it. I'll try to be very brief about what's been done in this game and why it just didn't fit with the rest of the series, neither with tone nor with the gameplay. Oh, and there is one thing that I've never dreamt of telling about a Broken Sword game to begin with: the scenario is bad! After the events of the the Sleeping Dragon, George is back in New York and running a bail bonds office with his partner Virgil. Aside constant indigence due to the lack of decent clients, life has been q
Poorly aged, but still retained that Broken Sword vibe Broken Sword 4 is a continuation of one the best adventure game series of all time. Again you embark on an adventure with lots of things to uncover, solving puzzles and of course saving the world. The story is really nice, maybe not on par with first two games but it's pretty damn solid. Lots of locations to explore and dangers to avoid. Using you braing will be required as always, but this is not one those games where puzzles are impossible. Mostly they're fun, but it adopted some strange design choices. Some puzzles or gameplay mechanics might feel out of place and of course the whole 3D aspect of the game is a huge let down. But still in the end it's a quite enjoyable adventure. Graphically the game looks like absolute trash now. It didn't even looked good when it came out. 3D adventure games shouldn't be a thing. First because
This game seems to be receiving a lot of hate. Is it well deserved? Well... yes... and no. This is definitely the worst of all series. But it is still quite interesting and atmospheric. The one thing, that massively lets thie game down is its puzzles. You would think, that difficult puzzles in a game, dedicated to puzzle-solving is a good thing. And you would be 100% right. But in this game, puzzles can be hard to slove not due to their intended complexity, but due to them being illogical, due to the unclear goals that should be achieved, lack of information or downright stupidity. Sometimes the most unobvious actions need to be completed, to progress with the story. Like showing one guy an object, which you found much earlier in the game and which has no connection whatsoever to this particular guy - not even a hint that it should be shown to anyone. And this is just one examp
When I saw that this game received mixed reviews, I still kept my hopes high. After all, Broken Sword 3 got mixed reviews, and I enjoyed it, despite being trampled by boxes ;). Then I played it. I will say this: I'm glad I played it. I'm a Broken Sword fan; therefore, I must play the whole series. If you are a Broken Sword fan, you probably should play it. It doesn't get everything wrong, it just doesn't get enough right. I feel that Broken Sword 3 was much stronger in terms of story and graphics. Anyhow, lets get to the positives of this game before I load you with the negatives. First of all, the characters are still great. George Stobbart is still wonderful. We have the same voice actor, and his delivery is great. We get to see some "guest star" characters from previous Broken Sword games, which I always enjoy. There are a few new characters that are amusing, and well done all arou
Review by The Adventure Library - all about point and click adventures Just finished this game and I have to say it is better than expected. Worse than part 1 or 2, of course, but not such a nightmare as I assumed it would be. You get used to the tank controls, they are annoying but work, with mouse or using my Steam Controller. The most important thing is the story, and this is still somehow a Broken Sword story. George and/or Nico just enter a Mafia factory in New York, the (closed) Topkapi museum in Istanbul or the (restricted part) of the Vatican, find a secret base in the desert of the USA and always find hidden caves and relevant documents as if nothing would be easier. They solve riddles after looking at hundreds of years old parchments, bypass every trap they encounter and see paranormal phenomenons inspired by the bible. Maybe unrealistic, but fun. The story with George falling
