I played the original game many decades ago. It wasn’t one of my favorites. I used to remember some scenes and parts when I started the Reforged. Now I have a better impression of the games that I did back then. The remake of the graphics and art is excellent, the new design of the characters. The music and sound effects(which I think are the original ones) Its one of the best aspects of the game. Its an adventure design so you can have a good time, relax. The atmosphere never becomes too oppressive or dark. The best parts of the story are the those directly connected with the action of finding the treasure. The cave, the Vasconcellos mansion, search for clues in the parchment. I liked a lot the action sequence on the train. I didn’t remember that part. Some dialogues between George and Nico are very good as well. The love triangle between George, Nico and Andre is okay but its not developed enough. What I don’t like are the puzzles in general. They feel very implausible in many moments. There are many puzzles to distract characters so you can take an object or advance to a location. There are also a lot of stereotypical and cartoonish characters along with a lot of weak dialogue. I recognize thay they put a lot of work and thought into this game in the 90´s. The music, the script, level variations. I understand why its considered one of the best adventures of that era.

my favorite game of all time. timeless heartwarming summer dreaming classic.

For me, Broken Sword Reforged is the best remaster of a point-and-click adventure I have ever seen. With great attention to detail, it’s a very faithful restoration of the original — it preserves the art style and charm, successfully carrying them into the modern era. This stands in stark contrast to the Broken Sword Director’s Cut, which—quite inexplicably—was praised in a review I saw. The Director’s Cut replaced the stylistically perfect intro of the original with a stiff, anticlimactic opening, visually reminiscent of rigid Flash animations rather than the original’s gorgeous cartoon aesthetic.Reforged also wisely abandons the sharp-edged character portraits that never matched the 90s cartoon design of the **** background art and character animations have been lovingly and accurately restored, and even small logic issues in the scenery were fixed (e.g., the café counter now shows the expected damage after the explosion in the opening scene). The audio has been upgraded only subtly, likely due to the low quality of the original sound files. Completely re-recording the voice acting wouldn’t have been a viable solution for fans anyway — and to me, the sound quality feels just right.There are also new hints that can be revealed step-by-step, optionally after some time has passed. If you want a faithful and beautiful restoration of the classic, Broken Sword Reforged is far superior to the Director’s Cut, which replaced and essentially ruined the iconic, bombastic original intro with a newly invented, utterly dull prologue — not to mention the inconsistent art design throughout the DC version. As for Broken Sword in general: everyone should experience this absolute classic of the point-and-click genre at least once. For me, it’s the perfect blend of mysterious adventure, humor, and memorable, likeable characters. Even today, Broken Sword easily holds its own among the best adventure games ever made.
