Broken Sword 2 - the Smoking Mirror: Remastered (2010) (2009)

great old point & click adventure.

Great game and an awesome remaster

One of the games that I was not able to finish in Playstation way back, I'm glad I've gotten the chance to play this, in an almost single straight sitting. You see, way back before, whenever I get puzzle gate-locked, I'll tend to stop, and switch to other games, instead of wasting my time, thinking on what to do. Internet was already available, but I was too lazy to follow guides (or maybe I don't fancy playing games while a guide is on my monitor). The challenge wasn't there anymore, since you can just look at the solution online, and so, the drive was not there. Plus, you'll eventually forget the story flow, with constant delays, due to getting puzzle locked. And bottom line, you'll never enjoy the story with constant recalling. Very grateful for the hints, I've enjoyed the story and had pieced up fragments of the story (memories) in my brain that had been cluttered for too long about the game.

Very cool and easy going game. Great for chilling.

A nice little trip down memory lane. Broken Sword 2 was a great adventure back then, and the remastered version brought back plenty of good memories. The art, animations, and classic point-and-click gameplay certainly show their age today. What looked amazing back then probably wouldn't turn many heads now. But honestly that doesn't really matter. The charm is still there, the story is still fun. It may be from another era of gaming, but it's still a very enjoyable adventure and an easy recommendation. Especially if you have some nostalgia for the old point-and-click days.

Cozy nostalgia! Pure golden era point-and-click charm, a truly delightful trip down memory lane. Most recommended.
