The Night of the Rabbit (Great)
The Inner World (Great)
The Dream Machine: Chapter 4 (Great)
Lilly Looking Through (Very Good)
ASA: A Space Adventure (Very Good)
Memoria (Very Good)
Face Noir (Very Good)
Deponia III (Good)
Journey of A Roach (Good)
Fester Mudd: Curse of the Gold - Episode 1 (Good)
Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded (Fair)
The Raven (Fair)
The Bum  (Fair)
Reversion: Chapter 2 - The Meeting (Not Bad)
The Inquisitor: Book 1 - The Plague (Bad)
Dream Chamber (Bad)
Jack Keane 2: The Fire Within (Very Bad)


I think ASA- The Inner World- The Night of the Rabbit- Face Noir are the best this year have witnessed (imo) there are many I missed and still to come in the next 2 months so I keeping my fingers crossed .. but overall this year is not what I expected it to be (so far..)
there were many great high expectations going on for it but 2011 still a better one than this , may the next be greater.

I was really counting on Kickstarter and Jonathan Boakes (both of them didn’t make it this year), so I only played Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs (Disappointingly Bad), The Cave (So-so) and Fester Mudd: Episode 1 (Lost me halfway with its heavy dialogue). Very interested in ASA: A Space Adventure now, which I missed completely, but nothing else looks like my cup(

I agree except I haven’t played Face Noir so replace it with Kentucky Route Zero.

Overall a slightly disappointing year, compared with 2011 and 2012.

I’m not a fan of Daedalic, but any of the first 3 would make a wonderful Christmas present. Unfortunately, it’s impossible to predict anything regarding KS projects…

On the PC I’m not playing any games made in 2013. I’m playing LOTS made before 2013.

On the VITA and NOW - finally PS3 I’ve got some excellent games released this year:

VITA:

Walking Dead - Season 1. (Great)

Machinarium (Great)

Jacob and Bigfoot (Great)

Corpse Party - Book of Shadows (Great)

Sweet Fuse (Great)

400 Days (Great)

PS3:

Beyond: Two Souls (Stunning Classic)

And yes, the VITA releases are 2013 with touch screen controls that make those games play wonderfully.

My adventure game of the year…...Beyond Two Souls.

25 million dollar budget, sold over 300,000 copies when released.

I know people who have never played an adventure game play that game and just love it.

Heart

For me - 2013 is a great year….

     

I enjoy playing adventure games on my Alienware M17 r4 and my Nintendo Switch OLED.

If you only like games with a voiceover you are missing out on a LOT of classic games.

Kentucky is a weird game, not to everyone’s taste. I like it.

The Testament of Sherlock Holmes - Still stuck about a third in. Need to finish it sometime soon. The part I played I really liked though.

Memoria - Much better that the original but unfortunately very uneven storywise. Still very nice atmosphere, good puzzles, fantastic art and a great ending. 4/5

Cognition ep4 - I actually quite liked this. It was fast paced, exciting and it all led toa terrific climax. I admit that it didn’t really feel like a whole episode but rather the end of one but still I think Cognition ended in a pretty good manner. 3.5/5

Gemini Rue - Dark, moody and very deep and involving. A sad, emotional tale, masterfully told. A masterpiece. 5/5

Resonance - I Currently playing this one. I’m about two thirds in. The story is nice enough but the characters aren’t very well developed and the gameplay is just horrible! Half the time I don’t even know what I’m supposed to do and even when I find out I’ve got no idea how to do it. I don’t think I’ve ever consulted a walkthrough as often as I have on this game. I might be nice if you grew up playing text adventures and like games like Myst but I seariously hate this game. I will try to finish it as I’m already past the halfway mark and I hear the ending is quite something but personally I think this game is way overrated.

I haven’t got a complete list of all the games I have played this year, but I have played quite a few, both almost all the new released and some older games. I could probably reconstruct such a list, but I am too lazy do do that.

The highlights this year for me has clearly been The Dark Eye: Memoria and The Stanley Parable. As I see it they are clear candidates for respectively Best Traditional Adventure and Best Non-Traditional Adventure for the 2013 Aggie’s.

That is a Subject isn’t it?, games you leave halfway, and mostly they will stay like this forever? .

Lazy come on you could have mentioned something about The Inner World at least, you did pay me back with it after my advice for haunted Wink

I only rarely leave games halfway through, and yes I could have mentioned “The Inner World” but then I would also have had to mention “Cognition” or “Night of the Rabbit”!

I’ve been playing the Stanley Parable for the past two hours and it’s a fantastic experience. It’s not on AG’s main page, it’s not in the database. I did a search and came up with nothing. The Wolf Among Us and The Walking Dead are there, so why is the Stanley Parable being ignored?
