Games liek broken sword?

I liked 1 and 2 never played 3 as it got bad reviews.

I just installed

grim fandango
syberia
longest journey

so far only played a few moments off each game but non have the same feel that broken sword did.

I liked how broken sword was like realistic settings and kinda spy stuff. I mean not too far fetched.

I have never played any of those games or Dreamfall but its similar genre and seems to get good reviews.

Scratches is another good one. I do like point and click games every now and then. Barrow hill and Alpha Polaris are also good ones. Not quite Broken Sword Genre in story but same point and clicks.

Syberia is actually a pretty good game. I really enjoyed it when I played it a few years ago when I had surgery on my hand. Stick with it as it gets better. Probably the next best thing if you're after similar games to BS.

Its a shame BS3 didnt continue with the same 2d style as BS1 &2

. Don't even think i bothered to finish BS3 and I was really excited when it was announced as well.

I don't think Broken Sword 3 is anywhere near as bad as some reviews would have you believe, tbh I really enjoyed the game, the only downer was the incessant box shifting puzzles. The story was o.k and it was nice revisiting some of the old areas of the first two games and seeing rendered in a modern 3D engine.

Broken Sword 4 is more in keeping with the traditional 2d point and click style, so you might find this more suitable, but it's worth playing both imo.

Check the 'Adventure gamers' site and forum for recommendations on many other point and click style adventures.

There is the fan made broken sword 2.5 as well. But they obviously couldnt use the same voice actors so its just not the same. I gave it a try but George sounds completely different and sounds like he is just reading off a piece of paper.

Broken Sword 1 and 2 are two of my all time favourite games, notohing really comes close imo

I need a Men In Black style brain eraser so I can enjoy them for the first time again!

Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templar is one of my favourite games ever. It's the funniest, most charming game I have ever played. The voice acting was brilliant, the writing was so clever and every character was memorable. Can't say enough good things about it.
