As a standalone experience, Broken Sword 5: The Serpent’s Cure – Episode 2 does struggle with many of the same pitfalls as Episode 1, with its interface still a particular problem. However, it’s a more focused adventure, and lessens the emphasis on the conversation heavy sequences that proved so dire in the previous outing. As a complete package, this is an enjoyable affair that should succeed in keeping protagonists George and Nico in the limelight for a little while longer, and Kickstarter backers should feel satisfied that their hard-earned cash has been spent wisely resuscitating this series.
