No mention of The Cat Lady? It’s not in the Top 100 either, though it should be.

The Cat Lady
Stasis
Return of the Obra Dinn

Quern
Dropsy
Primordia

Broken Sword 5
Gorogoa
Tesla Effect
The Inner World 2

Off the top of my head, these titles spring to mind when I think of the cream of the crop of adventure games made in this decade.

The Return of Obra Dinn
Thimbleweed Park
Tex Murphy: Tesla Effect
The Walking Dead
Stasis

Since 2012 some great adventures released that deserve a place at Top 100 list, here picked nominees due to Aggies winners and runner ups,fell free to add your favourite 10 from list to create an updated Top 100 All-Time Adventure Games.

It’s all very well saying what you’d put in but which games would you kick out to make room for them? Naughty

no need to kick out anything for the sake of that; when a game fits into the list it will eventually push all the the above a step near the edge,  and however, those at the edge of the list will be the ones that will be out of the picture.

I nominate those, but that doesnt mean anything since its a list made by the ppl behind the site. but again it doesnt hurt to say it out loud.

The Night of the Rabbit
Edna & Harvey: Breakout
Memoria
Stasis
Paradigm
Unforeseen Incidents
Anna’s Quest
The Cat Lady
Primordia
The Dream Machine
The Silent Age

Sorry Advie, but it can’t work like that Smile

There’s a list of 100. If people think what they’re nominating deserves to be on that list then they have to think that they’re better than some already on the list. This is going to be different from person to person. Do it the way that you’re suggesting then we’d have a completely, and undemocratic of course, different top 100 in no time. From my own personal perspective there’s been some nominated so far in this thread that I wouldn’t have in my top 1,000 let alone a top 100.
Nope, nominate 1 in and 1 out. Only way you can do it.

I would love to see the following games on that list:
The Dream Machine (2012-2017)
The Journey Down (2012-2017)
The Cat Lady (2012)
The Blackwell Epiphany (2014)
Life is Strange (2015)
Gorogoa (2017)
The Infamous Madness of Doctor Dekker (2017)
The Darkside Detective (2017)
Return of the Obra Dinn (2018)
Whispers of a Machine (2019)

Of course I hope there’s a place for Dark Train (2016), Detective Di (2019), Unavowed (2018), What Remains of Edith Finch (2017), Thimbleweed Park (2017)... and then there’s all the games I haven’t played but which sound fabulous like Technobabylon or The Walking Dead…

I wouldn’t have too much trouble making room in the current list, but that wouldn’t be very fair as there are many games on it I haven’t played Grin

There’s a list of 100. If people think what they’re nominating deserves to be on that list then they have to think that they’re better than some already on the list.

Personally I can live without

#50 – Infocom text adventures - it’s just out of context, you either choose different IFs or none at all
#99 – Nancy Drew: Curse of Blackmoor Manor - the series is just not the TOP 100 material
#80 – Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened - same, mediocre at best
#76 – Drawn: The Painted Tower - casual game, kinda out of place
#57 – Indigo Prophecy (aka Fahrenheit) - bad, broken QTE game
#31 – Portal + #10 – Portal 2 - could be described as puzzle games, or action/puzzle games, or puzzle-platformers, but not adventures. And even then they share same concept, don’t see the reason to include both.
