What is your favorite modern adventure game and why?How well do they do against Games from golden era of adventures?
P&C Adventures:
Atmosphere and story: Gemini rue.Very atmospheric adventure with world inspired by blade runner.Even in my all time favorite adventure list this game would go very high.
Humor: Sam and Max mostly season 1 and 2 while I liked season 3 I think it's not as good as previous season.My favorite episode is Abe Lincoln must die.While I love the game(despite fact that I dislike episodic games) I don't think it hold well against classics like Monkey island 1-3 or Grim fandango.
Honorable mention: Machinarium.Absolutely charming game, while I like rest of Amanita's games I find none comes close to Machinarium.
Action adventures and puzzlers.
Atmosphere and story: Amnesia the dark descent.Best horror adventure imo.Game where you truly feel helpless.Although it could use bit more good puzzles.
Humor: Portal 2.This is also one of my all time favorite games, games is really funny(Cave Jonson is my favorite) and puzzles are very well designed.
Puzzles:Antichamber.Game with very little story but unconventional puzzles.If you haven't played it but you have some interest in it my advice read reviews but don't watch any videos to avoid spoilers.
