    Looks great with auto-HDR on series-X. There's a hint system for when you're really stuck which is nice. Movement and reaction time of characters is too slow. There's a reference to a Pink Floyd album somewhere in the scenery :)

    It's comfy like a pair of old slippers; before you combine them with bagels to make roller-skates, of course. [Nov 2015, p.87]

    Broken Sword 5 presents us with an enthralling story supported by good 2D graphics and well-thought-out console controls, at a very good price point. All point-and-click adventures lovers should give it a chance.

    The puzzles may be simple and sometimes repetitive, but if you enjoy solving puzzles, can appreciate the colorful canvas-like design, and have an open mind for classic point and click gaming with a bit of retro and modern elements, I would say check out Broken Sword 5.
