## Review summary

Broken Sword 5 is visually rich with a strong story, solid puzzles, and notable voice acting, earning praise for its series’ continuity and value. However, recurring issues include an extra $5.99 for Episode 2, various bugs and save/sync problems, and frustrating touch interactions on small screens. Some puzzles feel non-intuitive, and compatibility quirks (iOS version support and display scaling) dampen the experience for a subset of players.

### Pros

- Stunning graphics and artwork.
- Compelling story with well-balanced puzzles.
- Excellent voice acting and memorable soundtrack.
- Good value for money and a strong continuation of the Broken Sword series.

### Cons

- Requires an additional in-app purchase for Episode 2 and some players feel the second part is short for the price.
- Bugs and progression issues, including lost progress, Episode 2 purchase/launch problems, and save/sync across devices.
- UI/controls on small devices can be awkward, making item interaction and dragging difficult.
- Some puzzles not intuitive and occasional design quirks (drag/drop and specific puzzle glitches).
- iOS compatibility concerns (noted lack of iOS 13 support on some devices) and screen scaling issues on certain iPhone models.
