Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse (PC)

I went through the first three games (I was told to avoid the fourth) all within the past five years, and I quickly became a fan of the series. On one hand, it has the best animation in the series, returning to its origins but with modern advances in tech, and character movements actually look natural and in line with the environments instead of being awkward looking with dissonance.

On the other hand, what begins as an intriuging murder mystery with the series' supernatural/mystical elements as an undercurrent, ultimately becomes underwhelming in the final third of the game. Lack of interesting secondary characters certainly played a role, but unlike the rest of the games that I have played the supernatural threat never seemed dire or even real. They were at the forefront and genuine in the previous games, but at the very end, I was far from convinced there was any real danger from anything but the maniacs pursing these legends.

2 > 1 > 3 > 4 might be my ranking
