I’m loving these lists, many interesting games I didn’t know about. Great thread.

Well, thank you!

I’ve been playing adventure games since the early 90s. I like very different things.

My taste also changed a lot over the years. For example, until recently, I was also a big fan of the Discworld and Simon the Sorcerer games, but I was disappointed when I replayed them last year. There are still nice games, IMO, but I wouldn’t put them in my top.

Oh, and I apologize for my English. I’m not a native speaker, so I might sound awkward.

Just curious: What is wrong with Deponia 1? 

PS: I liked all of them but Doomsday is my favorite.

Nothing, really. I like it a lot. I just think it’s not as great as the sequels. A good game overall, but not in my top.

Chaos, Goodbye and Doomsday, though… They’re all awesome for different reasons, IMO, I love them all.

I’m a big fan of Poki’s writing. Harvey’s New Eyes is one my favorite games.

I still hope we’ll get a new game for him someday… Sigh… I miss the old Daedalic.

i was just wondering whats your favourite discword game.they are all quite differant,noir particularly.as each came out i liked them but became a fan of the proggresion,i know noir bends the world a bit and the investigative part is not everyones cup of tea,but for me it created depth.

Sorry, I wanted to add one game to my list:

Strangeland

I didn’t think I would like it that much.

As far as I know Poki quit the game designing business some years ago and went back to music.

Oh, that’s too bad. I loved his games. I thought they were unique.

It’s difficult to say… I think each game has pros and cons. Discworld 1 has a massive world, with a lot of locations, it’s a long and inventive game… but I find the puzzles too hard, some are even tedious.

Discworld 2 was my favorite for a long time. I love the art style, the universe, the story and characters. I just find the ending rushed, and, therefore, a bit weak.

Discworld Noir is one of the greatest detective game I played. I love the atmosphere, the gameplay, the references to films noirs, etc. I’m just not a big fan of the investigation, mostly when we learn the truth. It didn’t feel like I could have been able to guess who done it and why, and that’s a bit of a shame. Also, I think the game feels a bit archaic now.
