Broken Age is a point-and-click puzzle game. You will play simultaneously as Vella and Shay, two souls with very different backgrounds and aspirations, but whose stories are more linked than you can imagine. Your goal is to solve the puzzles in order to progress the story.
As a point-and-click game, there is only one interactive mechanic, you move the cursor (and your character) around the scene and interact with objects and NPC's. Most of them only give you snippets of story that you will have to put together in order to solve the puzzles. Some objects can be taken and used to interact with other objects and NPC's in the game. On top of that there is a nice highlight whenever your cursor is over an object that can be interacted with, so you don't have to click on every nail you see until you find something new.
This game has a very interesting story, with great art, animation, music and a LOT of voice over. Every object can be interacted with everything else, we got some good laughs out of crazy situations. The puzzles themselves are not hard, just remember to use your items.
Final Score: 7 out of 10.
