Unfortunately I've yet to play the games you mention, Zabrak, but I strongly suggest you try the full version of The Longest Journey, regardless of its shortcomings. I'll try and sum up my feelings about the game in a succinct manner (not guaranteed):

Adventure games often attempt to deliver a sense of epic journeying, that (more often than not) comes across as exaggerated and disingenuous. TLJ avoids this by actually being long enough to feel "epic", among other reasons. One of which being that the protagonist grows as a character. Environments feel populated and lived in, not static and empty. Finally, the most impressive element of TLJ -- the narrative, is meticulously crafted and is an extremely interesting mixture of fantasy and sci-fi.
