I'm having a hard time deciding between three games from the list:
Dreamfall:
Pros: Great story, great graphics, great audio, high production values overall.
Cons: Terrible gameplay and puzzles, too easy, WTF endings are cool but this one is a bit too much.
Keepsake:
Pros: Great atmosphere, great graphics, great puzzles for the most part.
Cons: Cheesy story, bloody annoying voices, puzzles are a bit much toward the end.
Al Emmo and The Lost Dutchman's Mine:
Pros: Nostalgic feel really done well, game is very fun to play, well-integrated puzzles, story is a bit silly but works.
Cons: Low production values, ... that's the only fault I can think of atm.
after organizing in pros and cons just now I'm leaning toward Al Emmo, although while it felt fun to play I don't think it leaves a feeling of OMG BEST GAME I PLAYED THIS YEAR after playing it, that's a bit more Dreamfall's territory, so I think Keepsake is out but I can't decide between those two yet.
