Hi All,
Whilst I don't often play games, I do delve into the past and bring back my teenage years with some of the games I used to play - which were mainly point and click adventure games. FPS hold my attention for a bit, but I like a good story.
So games of the genre of the Lucasarts series (Monkey Island, Indiana Jones etc...) as well as some of the Sierra series (Space quest, police quest etc...), and more recently the Broken Sword series. I love these games and you can play them, save it, and come back to it, like a good book.
However, I'm completely out of the loop since those days of adventure gaming - there appears to be very little choice now for these sort of games. Sure things like Portals were more "puzzle" like, and whilst I enjoyed it, I still would much rather a good detective / interactive story rather than that more FPS style.
My question to you is - what games exist either now or over the last few years that are worthy of me looking into? I played A New Beginning recently, it was ok but cannot seem to find anything similar. I don't need to delve into nostalgia as I have all the "old school" adventure games from Beneath a Steel Sky, to Broken Sword 3.
So do you chaps have any suggestions for this genre?
Thanks!
