About

Broken Age is a family friendly, hand-animated, puzzle-filled adventure game with an all-star cast, including Elijah Wood, Jack Black and Masasa Moyo. Funded by a record breaking crowdfunding campaign and designed by industry legend Tim Schafer, Broken Age is a timeless coming-of-age story of barfing trees and talking spoons. Vella Tartine and Shay Volta are two teenagers in strangely similar situations, but radically different worlds. The player can freely switch between their stories, helping them take control of their own lives, and dealing with the unexpected adventures that follow.

    I was never sure if there were things I needed to get out of the conversation so that I could solve a puzzle or if there was just dialogue there so you could talk to the characters. This got tedious and dragged down the pace. Broken Age is a faithful callback to the Golden Age of point-and-click adventures. While this holds in back in some respects, the game was a joy to play with fun puzzles and a captivating story.

    Broken Age, as a complete package, is an enjoyable experience. However, it is a disjointed one. The first half offers players a look at a fascinating world, full of wonder and promise for stories to come. The second half fails to deliver on those promises and adds more flaws to the formula that weren’t necessary. However, the core elements that made that first half so much better are still there throughout. The world is beautiful, the characters are fun, and the voice acting is fantastic.
