It's a little slow but this is a game you should take your time with. It's utterly charming and its story is great. Still, Broken Age is worth a look even with its flaws. For some, this isn't a big deal but for those new to the genre, the game can be incredibly frustrating. It's only held back by its unrelenting difficulty and slow pace. Beautiful but frustratingīroken Age is a beautifully animated and features a clever story. I found myself clicking like mad to speed up the transitions between rooms to get where I needed to go. This was a particularly bad problem in Shay's storyline as you're constantly going back and forth between the halls of his spaceship. You'll also find yourself backtracking a lot, especially if you missed a crucial part of a puzzle. I like a good challenge but some puzzles were just unintuitive. I even took out a piece of paper and a pen to solve some of the puzzles. I think Broken Age could have benefited from a hint system. Some puzzles seemed like busy work while others were so difficult, I had to Google a walkthrough to get past a certain point. The biggest issue I had with the game were some of its puzzles.
However, Broken Age suffers from a few serious problems. I think it's worth playing the game just to see the beautiful art. I loved the voice acting, which helped bring characters to life. Over the course of the game, you learn more and more about the customs of each town and the people in it. Double Fine did a great job creating a world that feels alive with funny and unique characters. You'll want to take your time with Broken Age, enjoying the world and speaking with all the characters. If you're unfamiliar with the genre, you may bore of the slow pace of the game.īroken Age is a slow game (not just talking about the wait between Acts 1 and 2). If you grew up playing point-and-click games, this will feel very familiar to you. While the ability to jump between the characters is a nice feature, the rest of the game is classic point-and-click action.
