TLJ is considered to be Top Tier but it's pretty simple in terms of puzzles, 3D character models and animation in it suck, voice acting for the most part is subpar, and the biggest issue is the game (i.e. the plot) slacks here and there.

Some locations/backgrounds and the game's OST are mesmerizing though.

in terms of serious ones, it’s in a league of its own. most puzzles are not wacky with one or two exceptions. it’s moody and the music is great. story and central conflict are good if a bit simplistic. dialogue is sometimes cliched or stilted and the voice acting is mixed but it’s generally well-written and emotionally investing. has interesting, non-conventional twists. the game can be taken by itself but it has two sequels, the second game is good, the third one is not but it at least answers most of the remaining questions. tljh never

The Journeyman Project is pretty kino, as is the sequel but I haven't played 3 yet so I can't speak on it yet.

Drowned God is not amazing but pretty fun.

Eastern Minds is insane and fairly nonsensical but interesting and worth a play, you can also throw Dementia/Armed and Delirious in with that.

I remember Sanitarium and Harvester being fun but kinda shit, haven't played them in almost 15 years though so maybe I am wrong on them.

There's also meme games like mystery of the druids or total distortion that are atleast worth playing to see how shit/funny they are

I've tried to get into this game like 3 times in my life with years between each attempt and I never last long. Always quit right after the first transport. Mostly end up falling asleep during that incredibly long pointless conversation with the lesbian landlord. And I'm not a person who routinely uses "boring" as an argument, I generally like slow-paced atmospheric experiences, but this is just.. god, what's the point

it's nothing like darkseed, so don't worry. also, i meant to rewrite part of my post, the second game is good inasmuch as the story continuation, mood, characters for the most part but as a game it's pretty bad, there's not much thinking involved with the puzzles and there's a lot of 2000s half-baked combat segments

>cat hair mustache puzzle
I actually liked that puzzle. It's a fairly early puzzle too so it's not that difficult, you get plenty of hints when you use the thinking action. Right from the start you know it's going to be a retarded puzzle since if all Gabriel cared about was traveling around town he'd settled for the vespa. Instead you're just trying to second-guess Gabriel's concocted stupid solution to this (nonexistent) problem. And then it delivers gloriously.

Tried playing this game once but the retarded puzzles put me off. At one point you have to dip candy into a sewer right in front off a guy and then give it to him so he runs off, so stupid and completely breaks the feel of it being an actual world were logic applies.

Grim Fandango is kind of fucky even if it isn't super difficult. Some of the early puzzles can be filters.

The game that got me into the genre was Primordia, and yes I shill Wadjet Eye for free because they meant everything to me discovering this genre and becoming familiar with them after having a similar experience. Many P&C games make you feel outright retarded when you just don't know the extremely specific sequence of events the writers had intended or pixel-perfect hidden item that older games often have.

i think primordia, gemini rue, and especially resonance are all really good. primordia has stunningly well thought out lore, i actually uncharacteristically took notes on the world while i was playing and was dumbfounded how well everything fit together and felt real. gemini rue is super derivative of like blade runner/steel sky but it gets the mood right, is well told, and the network where you can look shit up has a lot of fun optional bits to discover. resonance, people have told me they saw the twist(s) coming but honestly my… mind was blown. and i think it’s intelligent. “and for your information, that is not the definition of irony” is one of my favorite p&c humor moments

i really like serious p&cs where there’s some element of being hunted, even if there’s no actual gameplay-related danger. tlj, grim fandango, and syberia scratched this itch for me and wadjet eye games have a lot of this, though i found technobabylon and shardlight underwhelming and either haven’t been able to finish or haven’t wanted to play any of them since

Technobabylon was one of the less memorable Wadjet Eye games I played, with Primordia and Gemini Rue as my favorites.

>incredibly iconic opening from the original game gets butchered, modified and worsened because of the first point (Director's Cuts beggining is now one of these new stages created in 2009)
>tons of stuff erased for seemingly no reason. There's animations missing, music from some scenes missing. Even your cursor animations don't loop correctly.
>violence is censored. Blood erased from some scenes. One ridiculous example is one guy that in the original game gets his throat pierced with a knife. In Director's Cut the scene is badly edited to make him get shot, the assailant has been badly edited to have a little hand and gun as he walks.
>Director's Cut has a horrible new artstyle, pic related. The image shows original game intro on the left, Director's Cut on the right. Original intro was beautifully animated by hand by a professional animator. Director's Cut adds those inanimated images to the scene for no reason.
>Game now has close-ups from the characters when you talk to them following this new style, most of them are pretty bad and don't look like the original character on-screen. I also included a little chess puzzle that gets changed for the worse as you can see (they also deleted the music). Again, for no reason.

These are the first things that come to mind. Actually, you know what? I know why Director's Cut is butchered, It's probably because it was originally made for the Nintendo DS and Wii, so I guess they had to cut and change lots of things to fit the game on those consoles, and didn't bothered to fix them on PC later.
I fou want to but the game legally Gog has the original version, Steam too as DLC.

You are correct that it is not a good game, however it's so batshit insane that it's still entertaining, much like the aforementioned Eastern Minds. They are worth playing purely to see the insanity unfold not for some profound insight or even to experience a good story.
Assuming you watched Ross play it he didn't even show half of the game (it's also much easier to run than he implies). There's a lot of point and click games that are like this, they are not good but they are just odd or interesting, eXperience 112 comes to mind although that's not really a point and click but it also sort of is, french people are weird.

Best way I can describe it is an interactive movie you can watch at multiple angles with some puzzles thrown in.
It's not like fnaf but I get the comparison. If anything it's closer to Lifeline for the PS2, except you can actually play this one. You control the main character through the security system with lights and shit, not directly which is where it is kind of like a point and click. Most of the puzzles come from broken or messed cameras and navigating around that. The story is decent enough but definitely not the main draw of the game. The main draw for me was that it is an extremely immersive game and if you can get it running it's worth a playthrough just for that. Just don't go in expecting a hidden gem, it's quite cliche and won't be a super head scratcher but the presentation is stellar and the rest of the game is good enough to hold that together.

i post these every so often on here and have only ever gotten one like, "oh yeah i played that" and not much else.

in the one in the picture you and your dog (who is the narrator/only the player can hear him) get sent to your uncle's farm right when you need to prepare for an insect competition. you have to capture a cybernetic bug called the "technoloptera" and spend the game wandering around learning weird bug facts and just interacting with bizarre shit. most things are dead ends or game overs but the game is short and you can continue from certain points and it doesn't ruin the experience.

in the sequel the dog gets kidnapped by mobsters and you have to rescue him and take them down. it's an urban setting this time but it's the exact same sort of adventure. it has less of a focus on weird facts and strange americana and more on intrigue, making sensible decisions, and logic.

headbone was basically like humongous if they were a teeny bit cracked out. they're kids games but they're really intelligent without having an adult edge or anything. they had two other games that were just freeform goofing around (pantsylvania and alphabonk farm) but they were both also very creative and fun. the other games kind of sucked, the headbone wikipedia article says the rumored third elroy jungle game saw a "limited release" but i'm almost sure it never got developed, and if by some chance it did i'd probably give my left nut for it

Don't give up, even though some dialogues can be a bit long it's one of the best adventure games out there. Personally I think together with Fate of Atlantis it's the pinnacle of the whole genre.

It's a GREAT game. Some of the puzzles are a bit... out there / obscure as fuck - but it's a good game.
Keep in mind: It does not have an actual ending - you will also have to play Dreamfall - not a point a click per definition - but a great game, great story - easy puzzles.
However: Dreamfall is ALSO not finished, so you will have to play the sub-par Dreamfall Chapters as well, which was released during the height of Telltale style adventure games, and it shows.

[Anonymous No.10426254]

the first point and click type game i played was on a tandy in a computer shop as a 7yo Back in 1993, living books aesops fables the tortoise and the hare, this was all new stuff, being able to click on things and it animates and plays sound clips, prob what got me into them

next one i playedi was a demo of Normality back in the mid 90's, i picked it up years later and finished it, good game, also has a gog release, the next was a demo of grim fandango back when it came out, i picked it up years later but still havent finished it yet, i also played thru broken sword 1/2 on playstation using the official mouse, ive played thru them at least twice, i thought about the directors cut but some anon implied they're not all that.

next one i played was monkey island 3 on pc i liked the cartoon graphics and the voice acting, there were even parts that made me laugh, really liked it, after i picked up monkey island 4 on ps2, i wasnt sure about the the shift to 3d, it was still a good game with the og cast, also they seem to change the look with every game.

another game i played was sort of a point and click/ interactive cd rom, trailblazers devils canyon a dinamation adventure, you find a mechanical raptor, an under ground base, i think there was time travel, you basically have minigames and videos about dinosaurs and archaeology, i played it as a kid, if anyone knows where i can find and english iso, direct me, only one i can find is italian.

another game i've wanted to play is, mystery/secret of the nautilus, saw it on tv back in 2001, and wanted to play it since,
i grew up watching films like time machine, journey to the centre of the earth, mysterious island, first men in the moon, so anything based off of them is comfy kino, but this fucking game keeps crashing, seems its only playable on amds not intel and i dont do amd

fyi this is my list so far, what am i missing

None of the Myst sequels? Riddle of the Sphinx 1 but not 2? Is there a reason for those?
I would suggest the Dragon Lore duology, Day of the Tentacle, Sanitarium, Physcicus (or however it's spelled), Bioscopia and Return to Mysterious Island.
If you like hard games, KGB and the Horrorsoft titles, Elvira, Waxworks and Personal Nightmare. Be warned, hard isn't underselling these.

i need this also, even more so after seeing the movie.

>>10426296
>Is there a reason for those
its just what ive found so far, mainly on archive, some im after are just hard to find, then i find alot have had a gog release.

i dont mind hard games but i prefer something that doesnt require too much brain power, trying to apply logic to puzzles that defy logic by being completely nonsensical.

one game i finished recently was house of da vinci, i really enjoyed it, alot of the puzzles are mechanical box type that involved either rotating or sliding something to open something and reveal a key an so on. a lot of thought has clearly gone into the puzzles, some make you think but they're not difficult to figure out, except for the last one, even after giving up and reading a guide, i still couldnt get it right, lol, it was fun enough to keep me playing till the end, even with my short attention span.

i wouldn't call it "shit" but a lot of the games that lead way too hard into being a cartoon are kind of meh. when you mix it with the very nature of p&cs it just ends up that the puzzles and humor are both kind of abstruse

Yeah, maybe shit is too much of a harsh word, the art is fantastic and there's some great jokes, shit games don't even have that.
The rest is very bad, the plot is practically nonexistent, you have absolutely no hook or directions more than "go find things". Sam & Max are the only real characters, the rest are just joke-dispensers since as I said there's barely a plot to follow or be invested in.
And most important: the puzzles are fucking bad, no logic at all. The people who made this game just focused on writing funny jokes and didn't care to design a good game at all. And no, "it's a cartoon world" It's not a excuse. Day of the Tentacle exists. Toonstruck exists. Monkey Island 3 exists. Having a cartoon setting is no excuse to not work in good puzzle design.
And it's boring, It's just boring. And slow. Jesus, each time you have to go to that restaurant in the giant yarn ball It's a slog. Sorry I wrote so much.

No, I don't think that's the reason. Day of the Tentacle and Hit the Road were made by different people, Dave Grossman and Tim Schafer are just better adventure game designers than Sean Clark and Mike Stemmle (Grossman specially, Grossman is very good making these games imho)
