Broken Sword 1 had a sort-of "rhythm" to it, where you would first arrive at a major location, find yourself locked out of important places, learn more about the story/history and at some point break those barriers down (even more inter-connected screens) and reveal some type of mystery, often with its fantastic soundtrack swelling.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.

the second in this "point and click" adventure game. its fairly easy and simple to make progress. aimed at younger audiences, to encourage lateral thinking, as not all tasks are straight forward. the built in hint guide makes the "game" extremely playable.
