Yes, puzzles has been part of the definition of adventure games, certainly, but as said, just a part and not the whole of it.
I want to point out that I haven't played BS3. But on reading Evan's review he seems to consider the puzzle part somewhere about 2/5 stars (I don't agree that he completely thrashes out the puzzles, he is just irritated over that there are too few inventory based puzzles and way too much crate puzzles) and everything else 5/5 stars, or at least pretty near that so I don't think it is that a strange rating.
I think the rating for Runaway is much more strange, but that is a another story.
