Just finished this yesterday and really enjoyed it. First point & click I've played.What are some others I should scope out?Some lesser known ones deserving more attention?
>>12000131Full Throttle
>>12000139The art on this one looks phenomenal. Remaster graphics look good but I kind of dig the original more.Thanks for the rec.
>>12000131>First point & click I've played
>>12000131Conquests of the Longbow
>>12000131Not really point and clicks but try Policenauts and Snatcher.
>>12000131I'm curious about trying this as my first point and click too Did you ever feel considerably lost or dumbfounded to the solution the game expected you to do?
>>12000435Not really.While I would say the first 2/3 is more well put together than the last 1/3 of the game, and it almost felt like things that should be clues were not registering as clues, the number of areas and npcs to talk to is really quite small.This helps in that if you are ever unsure of where to go or what to do you should really only be spending minutes rather than hours stumbling upon something that will lead you back on the right path.
>>12000168Love these old graphics. Didn't get to play these but they do remind me of my childhood. >>12000204I'll add these to the list. Thanks.
>>12000131It's possible to die in this game, no?
OP, try out Neverhood. It's peak comfy point n click, with claymation visuals and music. You might also need a pen and paper for some of the puzzles, and remember to save before you jump in the drain that says "don't jump in, you will die".
>>12000514In a couple places, yes.>>12000545I take it this is abandonware? If so it might be a good place to start. Thanks for the recommendation.
>>12000131Telltales Sam and Max series is pretty good.
>>12000131Highly recommend beneath a steel sky. It's free and has a very interesting setting.
>>12000131Lesser known choice is The Dig. Was supposed to be a Spielberg movie, but was too ambitious so they made a game out of it instead.
Beneath a Steel Sky
The 4 games made by divine by zero
>>12000131Igor: Objective Uikokahonia.Doesnt run on ScummVM but runs fine under dosbox.
>>12000591Nothing is truly free...
>>12000956Implying that ScummVM is spyware and/or bitcoin miner?
>>12000131Indiana Jones and the Fate of AtlantisSophia Hapgood is such a good idea for an Indy foil-heroine.
I remember the first Gabriel Knight being very intriguing and engaging. I was so engrossed despite the outdated graphics that I felt to be part of the story.
>>12000131It came from the desert is probably the best "point n click" I've ever played. It's more interactive than just point n click mechanics, but it's also in realt time. This makes every playthrough fairly different. Going to different places first or instead or waiting too long or going to early will net you different results and many different dialogue paths. It's a b movie tier spoof that has tons of great jokes, but also feels eerie in all the right ways.
>>12000735I didn't know this game had an English translation. Decent game except for the bullshit labyrinth
>>12001836Yeah its in English, apparently there's even an English talkie version but nobody ever found it..And yeah fuck that labyrinth section, very obvious padding.
>>12001776
Broken Sword is on my to play list
>>12002137Just skip 3 and 4 where they went 3D. 1,2 and 5 are all very good.
>>12002132Did Gabriel Knight actually look like this? Rhetorical question I guess. In my brain it was higher resolution. Your brain really has to fill in the details with that pixel art style. Was there ever higher res source art they downscaled?
>>12000735How is this compared to the other titles mentioned in this thread?>>12003958I don't know but this is how I remember it. It felt comfy.
>>12003343sovlless, 3 was neat
>>12000131Woodruff and the Schnibble of Azimuth
>>12000131The Moment of Silence, Grim Fandango, The Curse of Monkey Island, Growbot
Thoughts on Death Gate?
>>12007002Never heard of this.Killer cover though.
>>12007002It's good. The puzzles are fun and the meat of the game, like with other Legend games. I finished it without a guide though there were a few times I was stumped for a long time. The story is nice too but I haven't read the books so I can't say how well it adapts them.
Is the Shadowgate remake good? Does it have any bullshit deaths? >>12005807Man, I wish somebody would make more P&C games with that classic Coktel Vision artstyle. Speaking of bullshit deaths, you could try the Legend of Kyrandia series. Never played 3, despite owning it for over a decade.
>>12005807A year or so ago, I did a web search for that title as it had been stored in my brain ever since childhood and I would randomly remember it without any other details or context. Must have read about in in a vidya mag in the 90s because I'm sure I've never played it.
