Hello all. I’ve not played any games since about December 2015, last one being the brilliant Stasis. Well I did play some of The Witness last year but it was ultimately too difficult for me and I put it on hold.  These games all interest me:

Deponia Doomsday

Silence Whispered World 2

Heavens Hope

Yesterday and Yesterday Origins

I’ve played all the Deponia games and love them, so definitely will be playing Doomsday.

Silence Whispered World 2 looks good. I loved Whispered World but I know this one is more serious without Sadwick. I really want to play it though.

Heaven’s Hope looks pretty good on the trailer, I want to play that too.

I love all Pendulo Games but missed Yesterday and now Yesterday Origins. So also want to play those.

So my question is, which of these is the most compelling that you would recommend I play first?

Also, anyone remember Lost Chronicles of Zerzura by Cranberry Productions? That was a great game with very classy non cartoony graphics. Of course, they also made the Black Mirror games and Mata Hari so not surprising it looks so nice. Does anyone know of any good recent games in that visual style?

Deponia Doomsday

dont expect that same Deponia exact playing style, but the same humor and silliness

Silence Whispered World 2
I loved Whispered World but I know this one is more serious without Sadwick. I really want to play it though.

also as the previous comment for Doomsday, but add the story-driven ‘bit’ style; its somewhere between ttg story-driven and the famous Dadalic old school.. yet its my fav of 2016.
but would be a great start after a while away from the genre

Heavens Hope,
Heaven’s Hope looks pretty good on the trailer

very old school… but not to start with if you stayed two years of the adventure games

Yesterday and Yesterday Origins

two different from each other, the 1st is much better.

Lost Chronicles of Zerzura by Cranberry Productions?

the easiest of Cranberry, worth to start with also of your provided list.

Thanks advie. Yeah I played Lost Chronicles of Zerzura a couple of years ago, it was excellent. I was just wondering about anything else with similar animation and the painting style graphics.

I’ll take your advice and start with Silence Whispered World 2.

lucky you, after a long time away from adventure gaming one feel(s) very (re)fresh while at it, enjoy it to the max…

and tell me how Silence was, its a very controversial adventure. .. some even do not wanna consider it good, not to mention an adventure at the 1st place, as they consider it with no difference to ttg’s.

Yeah, the Samarost games have been great so looking forward to playing Samarost 3.

Well, I played and finished it. Basically, it’s short and sweet. Literally.

Spot and Renie are super sweet, and the game is over before you know it.

Puzzles are a bit too easy. One puzzle towards the end required some speed to get it done before you’re forced to redo it several times because of an obstacle. I didn’t mind that but for a point ‘n click adventure game I’d imagine many players not too happy with it.

I enjoyed it. It’s beautiful to look at and fun.  But it’s forgettable, fleeting and not a patch on Whispered World.

Heaven’s Hope is really good! I definitely recommend it

You were right! I bought it and started playing it on the 10th and finished it last night. Excellent game, good length, in the style I like with lots of inventory puzzles. I got stuck a few times but only resorted to a walkthrough once or twice. Silence was the hors d’oeuvres and Heaven’s Hope was the main course. I also highly recommend it
