It occasionally shows glimpses of the humor from the two brilliant prequels, but Broken Sword 3 is a big overlong mess, plagued with poor controls, lackluster puzzles, unskippable cutscenes and dialogue and an overreliance on climbing sections, annoying QTEs, absolutely inane block pushing puzzles and an unending torrent of fanservice in the form of "hey remember me?" characters in every single location. Luckily after one more of these disappointing sequels we got Broken Sword 5, which was a proper return to form.
