Monkey Island: all 13 versions side by side

I can very much recommend looking at games developed and published by Wadjet Eye Games.

You can see the learning throughout the years, with the Blackwell Chronicles being a bit linear, and some games in between being a bit of a miss.

But "Unavowed" or the new "Old Skies" are excellent games I consider on par with the old golden age. "Technobabylon", "Resonance" and "The Excavation of Hob's Barrow" are also very far up.

Yes Technobabylon was pretty good. Need to check the others! Thanks

I played Gemini Rue. It was pretty good, enough to remember.

Have you tried «the drifter»? It is amazingly good

I have The Drifter on the Todolist.

For some other smaller devs: "Elroy and the Aliens" was also a really good one. "Kathy Rain" also came out as a directors cut recently. There are some fun changes in there. "An English Haunting" was also fun. "If Fusion were that easy" was also quite neat.

There is a bunch of cool adventure games in the old style coming out recently. It's just hard to find them because "Adventure" and "Point & Click" are just such overloaded tags on Steam. Pretty much everything is tagged as "Adventure"
