Adventure Gamers - Forums

The Wolf Among Us sounds exactly like something I would like! I will definitely check it out, thanks! Though I’m on an old Lenovo G450 so I’ll have to check it I can run it first.

About Fahrenheit, it was definitely the whole package that I hated. I wrote a review back in the day but it’s in Spanish, otherwise I will point you to it.

Thanks again for the suggestion, I will let you know if I try Wolf.

Hi Radiobuzz, I recognized your nickname from the old LAELA and DELAC forums I am right? Although Im not very active on the forums I couldnt help to ask. Its nice to see a familiar “face” from those days.

About the topic, its hard for me to recommend based on your tastes, I remember those reviews where you hated games like Fahrenheit or Dreamfall, so you may not like TellTale games, but if youre open minded enough about their simple approach to adventuring youre in for a great experience for the story and characters. Im also on the lookout for games like Still Life which I loved and I guess one I can recommend as someone mentioned before is Black Mirror trilogy. I also enjoyed Cognition, its a great thriller with good qualities despite its flaws and since all the episodes are out, it should be an even greater experience than having to wait long months between episodes like I did. You could also give Daedlic games a go since they are one of the main forces in adventures these days. I specially enjoyed The Whispered World, A New Beginning, and the first part of Deponia brought me back to Monkey Island days, but I havent played the second and third. I also have Chains of Satinav and The Book of Unwritten Tales on my playlist, but with so mamy games coming recently its gonna be hard, but do let me know what you think if you play them. I hope it helps :-)

The amount of people who recommend games the OP has played is surprisingly large. It’s almost as though people see “what should I play” in the title and rush to suggest their favourites without reading another word.

Primordia is an awesome game, but it’s very similar in style to Resonance which the OP implied to dislike.

Hey! Yup, I’m that guy. It’s funny/flattering that you remember my reviews . Do I know you from back then? What was your username? I don’t agree with disliking Fahrenheit equals disliking TellTale. I hated Fahrenheit and Dreamfall because they had no interactivity, which is not the case for TellTale. True, I wasn’t the biggest TellTale fan either, I wasn’t really a fan of their episodic format but that was only because some of their earlier games went too far for my taste in using the same resources (backgrounds, characters, sounds), however I did like The Big Cow Race a lot because it was very different from the first chapter. And for what I’ve seen so far, both The Walking Dead and Wolf Among Us seem way more mature in that regard.

Thanks for pointing out Cognition, I will definitely check it out.

Just a note though, I did mention Resonance but I forgot to mention that even though I only played like the first half hour I did thought it was interesting, although I sort of abandoned it but I’m surely willing to give it a new chance with time.

Well funnily enough I don’t remember what username I had, although it was probably the same one I use here. But I wasn’t very active anyway so you probably wouldn’t remember… About TellTale, well that was precisely my point, if there’s a stand out feature is the lack of interactivity, so if just a strong story doesn’t cut it, as in the case of DreamFall, then I doubt the TellTale ones will, but you should definitely give them a try anyway, who knows.

Oh and definitely you have to continue Resonance, that’s another one that I greatly enjoyed, the puzzles were great, I think some of the best and most satisfying I have come across recently.

Umm, people are commenting on his taste and trying to give a sense how they liked some of those games. I didn’t see anyone actually plainly recommending those games OP said to have played.

No, that’s what you did. I don’t want to single people out, so here’s the first time it happened in this thread, sans name:

You should look into Black Mirror 2 and 3, Resonance, Primordia, Lost Chronicles of Zezura, Cognition, Lost Horizon (this one is probably my favorite, very Fate of Atlantis ish ). Those are a few of my favorites from the last few years.

I’m sure you can read and see for yourself where it happened later on, too.

I disagree. Beyond the pixel-art style, both Resonance and Primordia offer puzzles with multiple solutions, harder-than-average puzzles and multiple endings. The last one is pretty superficial in both, but the game “style” is quite similar, with the exception of Resonance’s more innovative puzzle mechanics.
