    Broken Sword – Shadow of the Templars: Reforged enhances every aspect of the original, making it the definitive version of this already incredible adventure. The reworked visuals breathe new life into the world, while the refined UI and added accessibility options ensure that anyone can enjoy this classic. With its masterfully crafted story, witty dialogue, and rewarding puzzles, it stands as one of the finest examples in the genre.

    This remake is a wonderful example of how such classics can be brought into the modern age without losing their charm and appeal. I would also like to see this done for other classics of the genre.

    This is a handsome remaster that will hopefully win over new players, but for those already in love with Broken Sword, something is missing.

    Reforged is a puzzle in itself. It’s like the pleasure you get from visiting an old friend you haven’t seen in a long time and who’s never looked so well. But it will also leave you wondering whether you’ve outgrown them after so many years.
