Nothing like any other in series. Charming Nico is replaced by slow and stupid american blondie with annoying voice. George acts slow and dull too. It's very boring to hear his sleepy "can't open" remarks while thugs are breaking his door. The story is almost unexistent. Plus it is buggy and you need to save very often as it could breaks any time.. Love this series and game #4 doesn't disappoint!. This game is garbage. Both gameplay and story. Like the previous game this game is in 3D but unlike the previous game it uses the mouse to interact and somehow manages to ♥♥♥♥ up doing that. Mouse controls are so finicky and so broken. You need to be so precise and half the time it doesn't do what you want to do, it's complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥t. There are still action bits in the game, because that was such a ♥♥♥♥ing good idea the last time and combined the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥t controls they are just the cherry on top of this♥♥♥♥♥♥cake of a game.And the the story oh the ♥♥♥♥ing story. Around the half way point the story just stops giving a♥♥♥♥♥♥ And it's not like it was good before that. It's the most tone deaf, clown shoes nonsense mixed with an incredibly stupid doomsday plot. The amount of out of place goofy♥♥♥♥♥♥that happens in this game after the oh so dramatic scenes it has makes you ask were the script writers for this game writing the script with their asses.No character has any motivation to do anything in this game. Anna Maria is such a useless dumb bimbo that even the NPCs don't acknowledge her existence. Nico is in this game for no other reason than because she was in other games. She has no reason to be here. If you are going to create another female lead to replace her why the ♥♥♥♥ would you bring her back game? George; why the ♥♥♥♥ is he doing anything that he is doing in this game? He has not single reason to do what he does. What? He want to ♥♥♥♥ the dumb blonde bimbo? Is that the reason why he hops around the world risking his life? ♥♥♥♥ing hell this story is garbage...Even tough the 3rd game wasn't exactly great it had one thing that was going for it and that was the characters. That game for the first time in the series had some decent characters in it with decent animation and decent dialogue. This game oh no ♥♥♥♥ that, all of that's gone. Instead you get a bunch of life-sized dolls with no charm, wit or personality to them.Don't play this♥♥♥♥♥♥ It's not like you'll need any background for the next game in the series. Even the Revolution Software knows this game was a pile of♥♥♥♥♥♥so they are ignoring it as far as the story forward is concerned.. Good story, extremely bad gameplay. BS 4 may be made in 3D mode, like BS 3, but the 2 games are totally different. BS 3 provides more help to the player finding \/ using the controls \/ actions you need to progress in the game. In this game, you only get to know 50% of the controls. The rest you need to figure out yourself. The animations are bad created, ending up being glitchy sometimes (also affecting specific game sounds, like the bone crusher machine). The FPS of the game is not stable, unlike BS 3 (at least for me). Finally there were many times throughout the game i didn't knew what i had to do, or how to do it. Just as BS 3, this game also does not offer the player hints, however it does offer just 1 "help". Every time you save your game and you check the load game screen, you can see your objective of the point you saved (that's the only hint you will ever get). Having played the series from BS 1 up to 4 so far, i would say BS 4 is easily the worst in the series. Having only a good story cannot make a game great. Furthermore, someone who has not played any of the Broken Sword series before, will find it very very difficult to play, solve and enjoy this game. Buy it only if you buy the whole bundle with all "episodes" included. Seperately, i wouldn't waste money on this. 5\/10. I don't know why this is called the "worst Broken Sword game." I'll admit, the first two games were much better, but I think the fourth game was much better than the third in my opinion. But some of the nun jokes and the part where George breaks into a bath house felt very...dirty...if you know what I mean. Overall, it's a decent try, but probably something only a dedicated fan of the Broken Sword series could actually enjoy.. I have a lot of love for the Broken Sword series but BS4 is a tough pill to swallow and not one I'd recommend. Even those recommending it don't recommend it... seriously read the other comments.I forgive BS3 for attempting to fit in with other games of the time but it feels like Revolution learnt nothing from BS3's short comings and probably at the time lost the motivation to care as well. To the point where I'd swear the second half of the game was just 'eh, good enough' and pushed out of the door. BS4's story is weak - Rolf Saxon delivery just about saves some of the dialogue but even then it's an up hill battle.The character's don't develop particularly well and any hopes of Nico remedying this go out the window. Nico goes from being one of the best part of Broken Sword to some generic 'chip on her shoulder' background character.The puzzles range from really annoying 'hacking' mini games that serve no purpose other than a lazy way to pad out gameplay - to actually decoding the manuscripts you come across and feeling good about yourself - to 'how was that even remotely what the clue hinted at!!!' (I'm looking at you crucifix puzzle...)Play BS1, BS2, even BS3 as it has it's moments, and then go to BS5. You really aren't missing out on anything with this one and AMD users will miss the headache of the infamous shadow glitch. I would even recommend the fan made Broken Sword 2.5 (which is pretty decent as it goes) over BS4. Otherwise get it in a bundle with the other games and save it for when you have nothing better to do.. This game is a bug filled, totally frustrating piece of excrement (crap). It's designed for gamers who also like to poke their foreheads, over and over again, with a sharp fork. I am always more than forgiving of a game's minor bugs and annoyances, but Broken Sword 4 - Angel of Death is actually a "Broken Game - Angel of Bugs and Exasperating Gameplay".Why? 1) Utterly optimized for PC -- my CPU fan shrieks during gameplay. 2) Freezes on closing (frequently) and then all your desktop icons are now all over the place.3) The timed and esp. the PDA object events are an absolute exercise in frustration and futility. (These were the final deal breakers for me) 4) Any fun gamely is quickly sucked from your soul.Take a pass on this pile of cow dung.. This is the fourth game in Broken Sword series and... uhm... Oh, for god\u2019s sake! No. Just no. Plain and simple. This game isn't worthy of the Broken Sword name. What have you done to the beloved franchise??? Sorry for blurting my frustration out but Broken Sword 4 - the Angel of Death is a complete disappointment for any fan of the series, and would be most certainly a wrong choice to introduce someone to it. I'll try to be very brief about what's been done in this game and why it just didn't fit with the rest of the series, neither with tone nor with the gameplay. Oh, and there is one thing that I've never dreamt of telling about a Broken Sword game to begin with: the scenario is bad!After the events of the the Sleeping Dragon, George is back in New York and running a bail bonds office with his partner Virgil. Aside constant indigence due to the lack of decent clients, life has been quiet for Mr. Stobbart... that is until an attractive blonde named Anna Maria shows up on his door step, asking for help about another manuscript! That is the moment the Italian mafia takes a hit on George's shop, leaving the place wrecked and Virgil pretty much\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665 From that point onwards, George is yet again sucked into another adventure "vaguely" involving Templar lore. Ready for the Ark of Ashdod? Because that was one Christian legend not trifled by the series. They must have thought "Hey, we didn't include the Arc on any previous games. Wanna arrange an appearance for that?" and the response was this, I guess "Sure, let's make it Indiana Jones style with church thrown in as bad guys!"Don't get me wrong, I'm not even Christian and I wouldn't be offended on religious matters to begin with. This is fiction. But the lore is so mismatched, the story gives you a headache in its short lived lifespan. Okay, here is the start of my actual complaints, so if you intend to play this game for the sake of completion, and would like to avoid spoilers, skip the rest of this paragraph. It is already customary to Broken Sword games to include interconnection for obscure political\/religious groups but it's been done elaborately until now. Here, we have the mafia and the Vatican as core power players - and Mafia are the good guys! And there will be no decent explanation to the heartfelt (!) sacrifices (!!!) they've been doing to protect humankind! Weird, huh? Add to this already weird display the Arc of Ashdod, a scientist obsessed with monatomic gold, nuns working at a wafer factory and Turkish secret service. Frustrated yet? And surprise, there is no satisfying story explanation when you come to end. Just a bunch of needless NPC deaths and sacrifices, added with every good natured side character showing up in the catacombs of Vatican (???) to help our characters. That is plain lousy writing.Another major disappointment is that we have a new protagonist to accompany George instead of Nico: Anna Maria. You heard it right. Nico isn't a protagonist in this story. She's been replaced by an Italian blond whose loyalty will be the primary concern of debate for the remainder of the whole game. Nico herself won't be appearing till way past the middle of the game to share some snarky remarks to display cheap jealousy, take under a brief and mostly irrelevant adventure in Arizona to \u201chelp\u201d George investigate, and play the part of a damsel in distress by the ending. That's it. Nico is not relevant in this game. That is one tradition broken alright with much frustration attached to it. It was a decent idea to present some competition for Nico as a romantic interest, but this is badly done. Anna Maria is shallow and needy until the end of the game, and there, she serves as a traumatizing element for George. That's all.Yes, I said traumatizing. Yes, in a Broken Sword game. The tone of the game is very slow pacing and somewhat dark compared to previous installations. It's as if there was a shortage of decent humor in the department when people were writing the script. It's always dark and moody, starting with the opening cinematic. That's specifically why this shouldn't be called a Broken Sword game. Even everything else were to fail, you could always count on humor in Broken Sword series. It seems not anymore. Whatever your take for this whole mess would be though, it will come to an end soon. The whole game consists of 4 places: New York, Istanbul, Arizona and Rome. Yup, that's it, and every story arc is so badly rushed you understand not a thing aside that there was an Arc and evil church was trying to assemble it.The game already continues the 3D style of the 3rd game, but the art style made a fast transition from cartoony to robotic realism. Sure, layering seem decent and it is a fitting art choice for the already moody undertone but I wish characters would attain some facial expressions. There is no feeling left. They look clucky, they move clunky and they mostly seem like everyone is badly constipated. The gameplay is a hybrid between WASD controls and mouse, and it mostly doesn't work properly - especially on time bound game sequences. Cameras are as hellish as the third game too.Let's talk puzzles btw. Now, gameplay logic is somewhat inferior and obscure, sure. This is not unheard of from adventure games anyhow. But some puzzles are not only ill-prepared and time consuming, some are plain irrelevant to common sense. There is a scene that George is tied down at the back of an Italian massage parlor and has to escape, for example. Now that was some enforced ACME logic if I've ever seen some! One positive thing that can be said is that hacking puzzles are a decent addition and they are somewhat fun.At the end of the day, you'll play this game to say that you've played it if you are a Broken Sword fan anyhow. You'll get annoyed, you'll curse, you'll be fed up half way through but you'll play. If you are not though, spare yourself some pain and just find something better to do.Please also check out Lady Storyteller's Curator page here - follow for regular updates on reviews for other games!
