Professional reviews from gaming critics
Broken Pieces is an odd, disjointed game with unnecessary combat, tedious back-and-forth exploration, and frustrating puzzle designs. And yet, I found myself wanting to explore Saint-Exil with Elise to figure out its mysteries despite those flaws, to the point that I was honestly a bit disappointed at the game’s relatively weak ending. Anyone looking for an exploration adventure game that harks back to the genre’s past and doesn’t take a ton of time to complete should give Broken Pieces a try.

Broken Pieces has strong world design and interesting mechanics, even if the action feels needlessly shoehorned in.
Broken Pieces has the solid foundations of exploration and puzzle solving that you would see in a survival horror.

An unclear story, poor character development, and simple gameplay prevent this game from being the thriller it could be.
A solid puzzle game that lacks in its story delivery and action quality.
