Overview

Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game returns to its roots by reintroducing point-and-click-based mouse control next to keyboard control, although still relying on a full 3D engine with fixed camera perspectives. A few puzzles are still action-based, but you are now given more time to act in stressful situations, rather than having to make split-second decisions. Next to the regular puzzles, you need to investigate images, texts and clues in the central manuscript as the story progresses.

While its old-school design is unlikely to win many new converts to the genre, it is still, flaws and all, the best adventure game to come out in several years. While George Stobbart travels the world seeking ancient treasure, Parin, the little girl heroine of Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure, Nihon Falcom’s action adventure game for PlayStation Portable, explores monster-filled forests and caverns in search of something else: furniture. As Gurumin begins, Parin has been shunted off to live with her grandfather in a mining town with no other children.

As an adventure game, Secrets of the Ark is a very good one, assuming you can get over the hurdles and high degree of difficulty some of the puzzles require.
