The Lost Crown
Ceville
Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis
Sam & Max: Season 2
Carol Reed: Black Circle
Last Half of Darkness: Society of the Serpent Moon
And honorary mentions to Lost Horizon, Drawn, Machinarium and Gray Matter.
Ah shoot, how’d I forget The Last Crown? Loved that game.
My favorites:
Resonance - Gemini Rue - Deponia - Edna and Harvey: The Breakout - Whispered World - Botanicula - Machinarium - Overclocked - Tales of Monkey Island - Sam & Max: Season 1, 2, 3 - The Lost Crown - Rhiannon - Return to Mysterious Island 1,2
PS: I forgot Dear Esther! Not an adventure game. More like a multimedia experience.
Now playing: ——-
Recently finished: don’t remember
Up next: Eh…
Looking forward to: Ithaka of the Clouds; The Last Crown; all the kickstarter adventure games I supported
Ah, I forgot Rhiannon! For some reason I thought it was released a lot earlier.
2012 - Dear Esther, Donna: Avenger of Blood (eagerly waiting for Last Crown )
2011 - The Book Of Unwritten Tales, A New Beginning
2010 - Darkness Within 2, Lost Horizon
2009 - Dark Fall: Lost Souls (plus The Void and Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru)
2008 - The Lost Crown, Overclocked, Penumbra: Black Plague
But only Lost Crown can match with classic adventures from 90-99.
Currently playing: Ever 17, The Space Bar
Machinarium
Sam & Max Episode 202: Moai Better Blues
Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge - Special Edition
The Blackwell Convergence
Ceville
Chains of Satinav

Overclocked: A History of Violence
Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 3 - Lair of the Leviathan
Runaway: A Twist of Fate
The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure
Next Life

Gobliiins 4
The Journey Down - Episode 1 : Over the Edge
The Whispered World
Deponia
Ankh

Since 2008 I have been playing less and less adventures, there really is nothing that interests me. Since 2009 I’ve played 20 adventures (I used to play 30 per year).
2008 Outcry, Rhiannon
2009 Machinarium, Yoormurjak’s Ring
2010 Rhem 4, Amertis, The Filmmaker, Slip Space Burma Shave Analogy
2011 Tiny Bang Story
2012 Botanicula, The 5 Cores
I’m hoping Myst style games will become more popular so I can start playing real adventures again instead of the casual games I’m left with now.

I have a huge backlog on the PC, though, so I simply haven’t played all that many recent games…

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka
What?! No Ghost Trick?!
What?! No Ghost Trick?!
I limited myself to games I gave 4 stars or more to. Ghost Trick stranded at 3.5 which is merely “very good”, not one of my gradations of “superb”...
That’s also why Gemini Rue and Gray Matter aren’t on there, and why none of the Professor Layton games are on there. I have to draw the line somewhere…
