Is it still worth playing?

George Stobbart, an American tourist, and Nicole Collard, a journalist, follow the Knights Templar and the Sword of Baphomet through Paris, Ireland, Spain and Scotland. It is a 2009 remake of the 1996 Broken Sword for the Wii and DS, on phones and PCs after. It is a 2D adventure seen from the third person, and the Director's Cut makes Nico playable for stretches of her own, adds first person puzzles, a hint system and a diary, with new character art from Dave Gibbons, and takes out the death scenes and some of the violence. The puzzles alternate between combining objects and logic ones like moving blocks around a grid. It is still the 1996 adventure with its second lead given her own half, and a hint when Paris stumps you.
