Puzzle game recommendations? Ala Broken Sword

Marcos · 27 Oct 2012 at 10:36

My mum loves games like broken Sword, and hates games with fast moving things and time limits. Any recommendations?

Monkey island

Agreed on Monkey Island, although the puzzles are a hit more out there than the broken sword games.

For more similar try searching "Adventure games" or "Point and click games", there's a good looking list here:

I played a little demo of Machinerium and it seemed great.

Currently enjoying the walking dead games however those do have some fast paced decision and action parts where you only have a few seconds to click.

Ah sorry, forgot to narrow it down to iPad games

I always forget about that. I think I only ended up with one thing - a JLS video. :rolleyes:

Broken sword is amazing. The second one is also out, though I'm not sure if it's on iPad, deffo iPhone. If your mum likes that, as above she'd probably like Monkey Island. It's a bit more darker humour though, but equally as fun.

There's lots of room escape games as well.

Would she be interested in the usual Plants v Zombies, Angry Birds etc?

I think she has played Plants Vs Zombies but my mum hates it when games do that typical hyper-escalation of difficulty the deeper you get. (As do I)

Try Space Quest and Gabriel Knight.

The Curse is a pure puzzler - no adventure mode - it's like Professor Layton without the walking and storytelling.

The Room is fantastic.

How about The Walking Dead too?

Mum hasnt seen the TV show, is that important?

Doesn't matter if she hasn't as it's closer to the comics than it is he tv show

Basically it won't spoil anything
