I love adventure games.. I really enjoy the story, the puzzles, figuring things out, and just enjoying the ride. I have been playing them from the days of text adventures, to modern ones.. But i figured i would ask the fans here at Gog, to post their favs, just in case something pops that i might not have thought about.
for the record, my favs to date..
Blade runner, (when is this coming to gog! a westwoods classic) If you know the movie you know what it is about.
Syberia, A game that is very different from most puzzle adventures i have played. It has a very personal story feel to it. It is told in such a way, that you end up feeling for the protagonist, and the way she is developed is unique, through phone calls, and thoughts. Part II, was not quite as good, but still worth playing. All stories from both outside of 2 from the second were solvable, though part II did have 2, 4 digit numbers that i could find no clue to.. and i ended up going to a walk through for. When the game was done i was sad it was over.
Flight of the amazon. got that free right here a while back. Old school, but pretty fun. Just about everything is solvable with some time. Really enjoyed the story, and it had a romancing the stone vibe to it.
Scratches, A haunted house to discover a small secret. Over all the game was short, and not all that scary, and the puzzles were decent. Not the best game, but as a adventure fan, it was worth the couple bucks i paid.
Anna, A 3D adventure that takes place in a haunted sawmill. While the premise is simple, the game is very odd. It is filled with surprises and supernatural along with i think 8 endings, that can and will bring you back to play again.. This game does have it's fair share of pixel hunting, and finding those are a big part of the endings you experience.. But no worries, if you don't find them, you can get some pretty surprising endings which is worth it in itself.
The longest Journey.. "It's a pen!" Loved this game. The girl that voices the main character just sounds so sweet. The puzzles are interesting, but solvable. But where this game shines is the story. It is one long ride too, i think it took me around 25 hours to get through the whole game. What a ride!
heroines' quest. A new game made in the classic adventure style.. while i did not make it through the whole game, i did play about half, and got stuck.. But i will say, i will go back to it again one day to complete the journey. It has a bit of puzzle, and survival aspects, along with 3 different play styles, from magic, sword play, or rouge. Pretty unique game, and best of all free!
Games i own, but never got to playing (yet) Just grabbed dreamfall which i am playing now, not as good as the first yet, but still fun. I also own, gabriel knight, bards tale, leisure suit larry, and just grabbed something called sanitarium.
So what would you all recommend i get to help fuel my adventure game needs?
