Broken Sword - The Shadow of the Templars (PS1) price, value & rarity
Is Broken Sword - The Shadow of the Templars still worth playing in 2026?
A cult point and click from Revolution, Broken Sword follows tourist George Stobbart drawn into a Templar conspiracy across Paris, Ireland and Spain. The Disney like animation, the hand painted backdrops and the witty dialogue make this investigation a peak of 90s narrative adventure. The puzzles stay logical and the measured pace invites you to savour the atmosphere. A few back and forth trips weigh things down. A genre classic to recommend to any fan of adventure and fine writing.
