Amazing remake of the first game, it looks beautiful and the ability to swap between old and new graphics on the fly is great. A few more QoL options would have been nice, also lacks any of the Nico sections from the first remake, which might have been nice as an added extra.
Overall, it's beautiful and the best way to play this amazing PnC Adventure game.

By 1996, the CD with its 700 MB capacity (compared to something like ~1.4 MB for a floppy disk) was becoming the standard vehicle for distributing PC games, and that opened the door to full voicing and high-res hand-painted assets. Broken Sword 1 was one of the most successful examples of this sumptuous mid-1990's evolution of the adventure genre. Set in "Paris in the Fall", the game tells the story of George Stobbart, a young American exploring Europe and about to find adventure and a comely French love interest. The game won many accolades, and is remembered to this day as one of the great classics of adventure (or "quest") gaming.
As a cultural artifact, Broken Sword 1 embodies and oozes the 1990's. "Before Sunrise", "Indiana Jones", and "The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail" are influences, as are the classic LucasArts and Sierra adventure titles. The result is vibrant colors, European scenery and stereotypes, and murder mystery and globe-trotting adventure.
Apart from one sneaky puzzle involving a goat, the game is quite straightforward and less of a hassle than other classic of the same era - and perhaps that is a good thing. This remaster offers a "hints" system and easy mode, both of which are a good idea to minimize friction and open the game to the widest audience, while still allowing the hardcore to keep it real.
Speaking of the remaster, it is a good one in doing the minimum necessary to bring the game up to date without diluting or changing the experience. In addition to the hinting system, we get new high-res repainted graphics that retain the original's charm and run well on modern screens. And we get an up to date interface.
Overall, this remaster works well both as a stand alone package for players of the new generation who are looking for a chill atmospheric mystery to enjoy, and as a trip down memory-lane for the millennials and X-ers who remember this classic title from back in the day. Recommended!

Echoing my review of "The Director's Cut": When Broken Sword was released back in '96 it was a great point-and-click adventure and it still holds up after all these years. But contrary to that previously mentioned version, this edition is the real deal!
It's the original game with a glorious graphics update - it looks like my brain "rendered" the game in 1996^^ -, without all the baggage brought by the previous "remaster". One can only hope that the second game in the series gets the same treatment as this one!

I played original game back in 1996 and it was one of the main reasons why I feel in love with point and click adventure games which I still love even today. Reforged release is such a beautiful journey down the memory lane. Graphics are beautifully remade, I even checked for some locations how they looked back in 1996 (game alows you to switch) and it's really mind boggling how games looked back then and how far we have come. What is even more amazing is that although I forgot lot's of stuff from the past (not this games related), but when I visited various locations in the game I exactly remembered how they looked as if I played original game just few years ago and not...OMG... 29 years ago! :D This game really brought me back to past for few days, love it!

Tough as hell, just as I remember it from almost 20 years ago.
Yeah, it doesn't make much sense at times, but what the hell. The player can learn patience and stubboruness from it.
ps. Seriously, why wouldn't I look for a vessel for water, but rather a towel...

Still one of the best point&click game series in history! Reforged is a slight improvement over the Remastered which in turn is an improvement over the original. The real improvement with Reforged is the achievements!! Yeeey!!!
Too bad they've written Nico's involvement out of the story entirely. She's cooler than George.
