CiB Let's Try - Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars (PS1)
0Playstation 1 is truly the 'Wild West' of video game systems. In the early days of 3D, it seemed like every developer tried to throw their hat into the massively popular PS1 ring and produced some of the most random, odd games of all-time. Recently, we sat down with a stack of PS1 games we never heard of, and the results are... unsurprising.
Based off the title and the box art (which is very generic for the PS1 version), I never would have guessed that this is a point-and-click game. Having played a good amount of point and click games in my time, this one stands out for a few reasons. The art style is very distinctive for one, and the amount of voice acting on a PS1 game is impressive.
If I could describe the first 15 minutes of this game in one word it would be 'slow'. Everything is extremely slow-paced, and I doubt the pace quickens too much. I also worry about being able to find items, considering nothing really pops out compared to the rest of the graphics. I like the style of humor, but only pick this one up if you -really- have a lot of patience. Thanks for watching!
