Game recommendations needed - 03/28/14 08:40 AM
Hi,
due to thyroid related problems (overwhelming tiredness, memory problems) I had to quit playing adventure games couple of years ago. Now that I've got the right diagnose and medication those days are happily over and I've been able to step into the world of adventure games again.
After a long break I started with "Baron Wittard: Nemesis of Ragnarok", "The Testament of Sherlock Holmes" and "Eleusis".
Then I remembered I had one game left unfinished back then. It was "Still Life". I had just barely started it, near the end of the first chapter still happening in Chicago. I continued the story by climbing up to the attic and finding Gus's journal from the chest and jumped to Prague of late 20's. The story grapped me totally like a good book. It was easy to forgive a bit outdated graphics. The game had a good logic and I never lost the clue what to do next. All the puzzles were logical and offered just enough challenge. Except the lock picking, must have spent 5-6 hours with it on three nights. But never wanted to give up. I believe I'm currently close to solving the whole case and game.
After finishing a really good game it's always a problem where to find the next one that doesn't disappoint in any way after such a good experience.
I have played over 100 adventure games in total and there is no sense listing them here, but in general I like mysteries and crimes to be solved in environments of past decades or even centuries, not any sci-fi stuff. I still have couple of games on my shelf not started yet but it's always a good idea to have some stock.
I turn to you dear friends of adventure games and wish you could recommend me such games you've liked.
