This Is NOT A Broken Sword Game - Broken Sword: The Angel Of Death 

That was definitely worth the wait. The Broken Sword series was one I never got to experience growing up but listening to your enthusiasm for the series makes me want to play them one day. Your channel deserves far more recognition. ❤️

This is absolutely my least favourite Broken Sword title. Played it once, never touched it again, barely remember anything about it. I will say one thing though, the "Health Inspector" scene that you mention, it's not the the Nuns don't recognise George, it's that they think George was pretending to be an annoying American as a test of some kind as a part of the surprise early inspection.

Can't wait for Beyond A Steel Sky!! 🙏

Ayyy, we back! Keep up the good work!!

Finally, a good review for the only BS game I can remember nothing from.

Thank you for showing me i'm not the only one with great love and appreciation for this company and their works, beautiful videos every-time man, keep em coming :)

Excellent detailed review, as always! Was afraid you had given up about the channel... nice to see you back!

Oh boy, forgot all about this series of reviews, it feels like it's been so long since the last upload I assumed you'd stopped making vids. Hyped to watch this

Underrated channel!

im replaying all of them, its was 17 years since i played the first game, on smoking mirror now. massive fan since i was 11 my dumbass took ages to figure out the puzzles back then

Cant wait for a your serpent's curse review which I liked a lot more than 3 and 4. BS is definitely more suited to 2D point and click.

Hey, a new Broken Sword will be release! You could do a review of the preview

That is a really good video! Liked it. I as well loved the music from Anna Marias apartment, really invited you search the building. The theme I also really liked. . played Broken Sword over 20 years ago and am loving it to this day. Part 1 and 2. And finally arrived at part 4. And I have to say: some of the puzzles are the most pain in the ass I ever experienced in a video game. I sometimes wander around over an hour for the next missing part. As though this is fun when this happens one time and you find the next clue step and feel like "Yes I finally found the next clue!", in this game, I find myself often in those situations and that frustrated me to no end. Like why the heck should I show that priest my pen? Like you show a pen to this priest you found much earlier in the game. It took me nearly 2 hours to find that out, scaning every milimeter of Anna Marias apartement. It was totally random that I found that out. That felt so dumb. And now I am running back and forth to find a way to get the black cat entry card. It does not feel natural. Those progession steps take often too much time and slows the pace down way too much. Or to kick the door out of the frame in the beginning of the game, where you first have to check this thing so it breaks out. That, I don't know, happens to often and feels so constructed in a way. A game shouldn't be that frustrating. Honestly, that is bad game design, as much as I love Part 1 and 2. On the other hand, the game plays so much better than part 3, and I like the story and I like the different locations and the humour. It's not a bad game, but I too often feel left alone not knowing how to proceed.

Very detailed and interesting review!

I greatly disagree about the graphics vs Broken Sword 3. I think BS3 looks much better, more polished. Especially talking about environments. Really enjoy your videos btw!

Hiyo :D, happy new year!

Can't wait for a BS5 review! :D

Love your Reviews, this Game i sit out. Could you Review the FAN Game "Broken Sword Part 2.5" some day maybe?

I may be one of the few fans of Broken Sword that liked "The Angel of Death". For me, it is my second favourite Broken Sword game, after Broken Sword 1. (SPOILER ALERT) the disappearance of Anna Maria and the investigation that George and Nico conduct to know more about her is really exciting, as well as the locations (specially Rome and Istanbul)... For me, a fantastic game!

❤❤❤

Y'know, when Sumo Digital ended up handling Doctor Who: The Adventure Game, I remember thinking, "How did they land that contract?" I associated them with racing games at that time, and while now I know they've actually done a ton of genres thanks to random contracts (like Track & Field DS) or outsourcing/collaborative development (working on recent Hitman games or handling the bulk of Crackdown 3 for example), but _this_ is the missing link my brain needed for Doctor Who to make sense! I remember those games/episodes being quite decent, so this turning out pretty alright (despite not being a true Broken Sword game) makes sense! I'm gonna have to give this a play sometime. Btw, I only recently discovered your channel, but I'm always on the lookout for good RU-vidrs that cover PC games. Coverage for games like these Broken Sword titles or Beneath a Steel Sky seems to be a dying breed now that creators like LGR have moved onto covering hardware more than games, and Pushing Up Roses covers, like, Golden Girls episodes now :/ The videos of yours I've seen are all excellent; you do great work. Definitely subscribing!

Lol at the spoiler skippers joke XD

19:40 Man, that terrible French Accent XD Thats why i liked the German Voice Acting, they have NO Accents, way better ^^

Love this game 👍

I have to disagree with you here, I think this was Nico's best voice! the worst was Broken Sword 2. This game had some great tracks and has a better soundtrack than both three and five (in my opinion) I didn't mind this game but it hasn't aged well. They should have stuck with the 2D point and click game play and thankfully I think they've realised that now. For me this games story was better than three and five (there's a lot to like) but it's not in the same league as the first two games.

It's been a while!

17:25 - the gag was George's obliviousness to the obvious....

ill have to revisit this video when ive finished no 4 i dont want spoilers. ive forgotten the plot but i do remember thinking 4 bieng the worst in the series

Can;t wait to what you will have to say about BS5. For me personally dialogues where so cringy and fanservice was done to a point I never finished game I've kickstarted.

22:16 I disagree with you on the useless “nooks and crannies” part. I love, optionally, being able to click and learn about the surrounding objects, it makes the game feel more immersive to me, and it also can teach you more about the main character as they give you their opinions on the surroundings. While playing the 4th game, it felt like there was nothing to look at which made it even more boring than it already was. It also made the game overtly easy imo, since I easily knew which objects I had to use to solve problems.

even back then I was not a huge pro-2d defensor, but for P&C almost every big title ran into wall, it was like thé genra couldn't pass thé tech.. After BS3 I never wanted to play this one. When I saw how empty the scenes were I was convinced not to... Even nowadays I can't really think of a good full 3d P&C.... 🤔....well I enjoyed Dreamfall a lot, replayed it (light scénario in comparison with longest though) and décided to play to Dreamfall chapters, not really a P&C.. loved them

I just don't understand how no one repair on the annoying guy inside the box in the black cat club. It doesn't make sense for me.

After I played through 3 and the frustrating amount of moving boxes and dying failing sneak timing, I tought 4 would maybe be better. God, it was worse. I take the frustration from 3 any day over the boredom, flatness and nonsensicalness of 4. The Inzro was cool, but had somehow nothing to do with the game. Also, does 4 play before or after 3 timeline wise. I know the radio guy is mentioned in 4, but that does not neccessarily mean anything. After 3 George should be a bit more... well, he was knighted by a swcret order of monks and f*ing killed a Dragon! So why do the characters feel so meh. I have started 5, but am stuck on the first murder scene in the Galeria. Please, don't tell me it's another "click on everything and hope something happens" case.

I felt the voice acting in this game was awful. Anna Maria only had one emotion through any dialogue. It's as if they didn't tell the voice actress what situation she was in, at the start of the game she's being chased by the mafia and even says they want to kill her, but in a cheery inquisitive tone. That same tone continues throughout the whole game, no matter the circumstances. The controls were bad, the story was bad, Nico was bad and the ending was worse. If you can't tell I was very disappointed with this game.

I love your videos but I have to disagree with you on this one. I think Nico's voice actress did a great job in this game and I loved the part where George pretended to be the health inspector (the German accent was great) I also don't think George came across as homophobic and I don't think the game was making fun of that characters sexuality but if you had those feelings whilst playing I can't say your wrong (I just didn't see it the same way) I do agree that this didn't feel like a Broken Sword game though.

Where's the Broken Sword 2.5 review at

The only Broken Sword I haven't yet played. I'm gonna try and play and review every version of the game for my channel. Tbh I think it started to go downhill by number 2, even though that game is still a classic.

It's the ridiculous puzzles that makes the games interesting to me tbh, too much easy puzzles feels like doing chores, which is what new games nowadays feels like.

Imho for €5 on Steam it is a good deal.

An unpopular opinion but I really liked the design of Nico in this game. But, yeah. This is definitely the weakest game of the series.

What I don't understand is why - why do they have such difficulties writing stories? It's not that any of these issues are deep and difficult to see. On the contrary, it's very surface level. And yet - they made these decisions and went with them. I must be missing something. Maybe they should hire not only professional voice over, but also a professional script writer for this. It's a pity that a game like BS is ruined by what it must be good at - a good and consistent story.

I have just finished this game, it was awful in every way, it was so frustrating to play and i would not recommend it at all, 2/10 See My steam review (Mythic Prime)
