Broken Sword – Shadow of the Templars: Reforged launches on PlayStation, Xbox and PC

GodisaGeek: The sound has been enhanced as well, and while it sounds fantastic, there’s still a slight tinny-sound to the dialogue. The soundtrack from Barrington Pheloung is so good, though, and it is always a pleasure to hear the journey it goes on as the story progresses. The voice acting is on point, rarely faltering throughout, and I love the likeable awkwardness of George just as I did back in 1996. Some games are better off staying in the past, no matter how good they are, but Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars is not one of them.

Whether you’re new to this point-and-click adventure or not, there’s much to love about Broken Sword – Shadow of the Templars: Reforged. From an engaging story to loveable characters, and puzzles that keep you guessing all the way to the end, it still plays great after all this time. The visuals are stunning, and despite some of the dialogue not being as crisp as it could be, it’s clear how much work has been put into this remaster. The pace isn’t going to please everyone, but it’s about patiently searching for clues and feeling a high sense of reward as you uncover the mystery.
