Samorost, Botanicula, Machinarium, Chuchel. I'm about to play Kelvin & The Infamous Machine, so that might be worth giving a look as well.Īlso a shoutout to the Anamita games. I also heard some good things about Jenny LeClue - Detectivu. Oh and if you like horror, try The Last Door. Same goes for the Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav & The Dark Eye: Memoria. The two Book of Unwritten Tales games are quite good and have a fantasy setting. Wadjet Eye makes a ton of excellent pixel-based point & click games with relatively mature stories (Gemini Rue, A New Beginning, Shardlight, Technobabylon, Unavowed, The Blackwell games). The Raven has a good old timey Agatha Christie vibe to it. Double Fine's Broken Age was a decently fun game as well. The Next Big Thing is a more current game that's worthwhile. Grim Fandango has a fantastic style (A few puzzle annoyances though). I quite like the Gabriel Knight series especially 2 & 3. Westwood's Blade Runner is a cool game Vinny is currently playing through. The Monkey island games are evergreen with it's silly characters and humor. If you use the Epic Game Store, you might have grabbed Thimbleweed Park for free. So i found that often the best way to see that stuff is by just watching a silent playthrough on youtube. I don't think Space Quest, Police Quest & Tex Murphy hold up all that well from a playing perspective (given that point & click games often require you to do the 1 exact thing that the game wants you to do and these games tend to have some annoying failstates) but those series are still worth seeing through.
