thought I'd change things up and see what you guys favourite point and click games are, especially lesser known ones as there's so many out there
good idea to give a little description of what the game is like because adventure games aren't just for a quick pick up n play usually
my choices
Broken Swordobvious choice I guess. just entered its 5th entry in the series. classic point n click with great music and talented voice acting. about an american tourist in france who becomes involved in a serial killer plot based around the knights templar.
reccomend playing the original versions of broken sword 1 instead of the directors cut.
1,2,3 are really good despite 3's bizzare interface. i never got past the start of 4, but apparently its not that good so ehh
Ben Jordan: Paranormal Investigatormade using adventure game studio by Francisco Gonzalez. 8-part adventure game about a fresh out of college guy who decides to become a paranormal investigator. each case gets better and better and has awesome music throughout the series. showcases what the AGS can do and a great overarching plot for the series.
case 1 and 2 available as a deluxe edition with voice acting and developer commentary too. this is a series that evolves and gets more complex over the course of the series.
the series really picks up around case 3, like legit.
Discworld Noirso much better than the two other discworld games in my opinion. play as a detective hired to solve a missing persons case which develops into a much grander plot fairly quickly. awesome voice acting, nails the noir atmosphere perfectly along with the jazz noir soundtrack. possibly my favourite adventure game of all time. trademark discworld humour in abundance.
5 Days a Stranger seriesmade by ben yahtzee Crashaw of theescapist (and his own YouTube channel). another series of games made in AGS . 5 days is about a thief breaking into an old mansion to see what loot he can grab but soon turns into a kinda haunted horror house kinda game. later games ramp up the horror aspect and are equally as amazing. overarching plot line spanning hundreds of years about a mask sorta thing. one of the games is set on a space station/ship and crew members are getting killed off by a possessed person/thing. gripping stuff.
it's better than what im selling it as. so good though.
those are probably my top 4 adventure game series/standalones! what are yours??
