Probably the only two I've ever played,
Hector, and Mass Effect.
I mean Mass Effect really is just an adventure game with shooter and rpg elements. If you didn't have the conversation stuff with it, it wouldn't be a good game.

I believe you're speaking of Myst IV?LookingGlass said:
Yes, that was 2004 or so, but it was damned pretty then and it's still damned pretty now. Plus, you get an in-game journal and camera.
If we can throw in Longest Journey style adventure games, definitely try "Syberia" too. It hits that balance of surreal and believable to maximize interest. Also try "Return to Mysterious Island" if you can find it.
The White Room was pretty overrated, I thought. Absolutely terrifying - possibly even more than Amnesia if you have the right disposition and mood - but it resorted to "Rule Of Scary" too often - that is, logic can be utterly disregarded if it makes it scarier. Great for movies, not so great for adventure games. Cutting a chain with an axe? I know that chains are more atmospheric than ropes, and that axes are more primal than bolt cutters, but ropes go with axes and bolt cutters go with chains, and I never would have cut the chain if I had not resorted to the "rub everything on everything" approach.Aethren said:
EDIT: Oops. Are you referring to "The White Room" or "<link=http://www.studiotrophis.com/site/projects/thewhitechamber>the white chamber"? I've never heard of the first one.
The Monkey Island series is hands down the best adventure game series. And I think Curse is the best of them. That's a tough call, but I think it's good enough to deserve the title. It was really firing on all cylinders.
I also deeply love Loom. It's criminal it only got one game, but that one game was beautiful enough that I don't mind. Definitely the best non-MI adventure game. Great tone, cool world, great graphics (for the time shut up), great music, writing, and a cool interaction system.

Ah, I'd mistakenly assumed that all of the Myst games in existence were on GOG. Looks like I'll have to wait for this one to appear. It doesn't seem to be available for download anywhere presently.lacktheknack said:
I love Machinarium! I can thoroughly reccommend it. The art style and atmosphere is amazing, and the puzzles... well, clever while not being too frustrating.excusablegold said:
Three is worth a purchase, as it has FREAKING BRAD DOURIF PLAYING THE BAD GUY. That's right, the actor behind horror icon Chucky starred in a Myst game. He's absolutely perfect for the part, and more than makes up for the face-clawing navigation in the Tree age.LookingGlass said:
Myst IV is just gorgeous, and really expands on Myst I. Find it too.
Also, you can play the spinoff MMO for free. (Yes, they made an MMO of Myst. And it's awesome, I think. And it's free. http://mystonline.com/en/ If you try it and get stuck, message me. I can help you out.)
I haven't played Myst V, but I'm under the impression that it's not very good.
The games stopped at five.http://i.d.com.com/i/dl/media/dlimage/90/12/4/90124_large.jpeg
