Ah I should mention that the Game Dungeon mainly focus on ultra obscure titles such as Rama and Maabus. He offers entertaining commentary and impressions though IMO.
Hi Tizoc! I watched the Ross's dungeon videos - good stuff. Unfortunately the sequel to Still Life (which was a nosedive in every way from the first game) reveals the killer's identity and it was a disappointing game in every sense.
I just finished Life is Strange with my gf and she wants more adventure games! She likes story and puzzles, and isn't that great with a controller...
I have a Switch and a PS4... what should be my picks? Dunno if this is the right thread for it but for some reason I don't have posting privileges yet.
I've been out of the adventure loop for like ten years or so.
This is probably very much the right thread to ask bro! Here are some recommendations of adventure games that are more adventure-oriented with a good amount of puzzle solving and plot! Below you will find a lost of every single good adventure game I can remember from the PS4 - there are even more probably, but here are the 30+ that stand out the most. Enjoy and ask any questions you may have! By the way, at first I added a video for each game but then I found out you can only insert two videos per post haha. Sorry if it's overkill!
Grim Fandango remastered is a remake of one of the better received adventure games from the 90s. I heard this has hard puzzles but the game is known to be a major gem.
Broken Age is a new IP adventure game from Double Fine and it sure looks wonderful.
Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is a first person adventure game, slow paced with a unique plot apparently
There are a few games based on licensed properties that you may be interested in checking out based on your interest in the IP, such as
Back to the Future: The Game (it's quite fun if you're into the series and it serves as a great 4th part!), the
Batman adventure games (2 seasons - a must if you're a Batman fan),
The Walking Dead games (3 seasons and a spinoff - an excellent series to play even if you don't care about the show or know nothing of it),
Game of Thrones (1 season - only play if you're a super GoT fan),
Guardians of the Galaxy (1 season) and Tales from the Borderlands (1 season).
Gone Home is a first person short story-oriented adventure title that won many awards.

The Little Acre is a decently reviewed adventure title that is quite short but certainly looks wonderful
Danganronpa 1+2 reload is a Japanese adventure game based that is very well received and quite unique. Very text heavy though. If you like this, you can pick up the sequel.

Last Day of June seems to be a heartwarming adventure game with a bitter

Yesterday Origins is a point and click adventure game centered on a murder mystery

Night in the Woods is a very, very well reviewed story-focused exploration adventure where you play as a cat!

What Remains of Edith FInch is a short atmospheric adventure game that is cinematic and dark
Observer is a first person sci-fi horror adventure
Thimbleweed Park is an excellent looking traditional point and click adventure game from the folks behind the Monkey Island series
Same here.. I did enjoy Tales from Borderlands and Wolf Anong Us but there is literally no puzzles or challange to their games anymore. Despite being pretty low budget compared to later Telltale works, Tales from Monkey Island is still the best thing they've ever made Imo, some good puzzle design and writing and I feel they hit the tone of the series pretty well..
It did suffer from a lot of recycled assets and overdoing the "maze" puzzles. Probably better than Escape from Monkey Island overall though not coming close to the godly first 2 games in the series.
Precisely Zweisy - the more games they made, the less interactions and puzzles there seemed to be?? Tales of Monkey Island is indeed one of their very best for me if not the best, and it is certainly a highlight. Their Sam and Max games are excellent too and is loaded with memorable scenes and puzzles.
Am i th only
O e who played their wallace and gromit game o_O
I tried it haha! My question is - am I the only guy here who played their Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People and/or Back to the Future?
Yes. Much like Tales of Monkey Island it has a good dose of puzzles and the humor is nice too, esp. if you like the duo.
EDIT: Edith Finch is too atmospheric for me @_@
Back when Telltale were making Tales, Sam and Max and Wallace and Gromit, they were on a roll.
For Edith Finch, i hear it is worth finishing!! I plan to some day. I hear it's quite short anyway.
