Broken Sword – Shadow of the Templars: Reforged Review – A Fine, If Sparse, Remaster of an Adventure Classic

by

George Stobbart, a young American with a distinctive wavy hairdo, is the protagonist of Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars, a 1996 point-and-click adventure game. What makes his words special is that if you find yourself captivated by Broken Sword (which is quite common), it’s as if they become your own – a nostalgic reflection on the past. Our initial encounter with him is striking: he lounges casually, a toothpick in his smirk, flirting with a waitress as she serves café au lait. He appears relaxed, but more accurately, he’s temporarily free from worries. We discover that he studied law and is currently on vacation, savoring life before the courtroom demands take over again. However, things soon take an unexpected turn. A bomb explodes, the bistro shatters, and George is sent flying in a dramatic cloud of red smoke.

The premise is interesting enough, but will this murder mystery hold our attention all season long? I’m unsure.
