I wholeheartedly agree - The Whispered World is one of the latest (and i hope not the last) modern adventure with a true power of the genre's origin - thanks in big part to hand-painted 2D graphics, but not only that - the game introduced "epic" approach, followed by animation sequences as you progress as a mean of REWARD to players, and also featured good deal of interesting puzzles which managed to make sense but have the logic of its own as well, just like those in Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle...


I consider Al Emmo the modern classic of indie and AGS scene. Deck13 titles had a nice mixture of "old school-modern" in it, although their latest titles might signal a small decline. Keepsake is a flawed adventure, but i consider it unique for blending Myst-like and 3rd person games. And even though i consider Machinarium a bit overrated, there's no question it was an instant classic.
