AGs becoming recognised within mainstream journalism?

The Daily Telegraph (UK) listed 10 video games to play over the UK Bank Holiday weekend and I was pleasantly surprised to find 3 AGs amongst them. Sunset, Ether One and Life is Strange being the 3 (Full list here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/video-games/video-game-news/11623588/10-best-video-games-for-the-bank-holiday.html). Whilst it could be argued that these 3 are, to an extent, AG crossover games, it’s nice for the genre to be taking a third of the list.

Only Ether One of the three i played, so i can’t see much through the reviewer taste, but I can claim that interactive novels was his/her influence while including AGs.

Also early last month there was an article at PCGAMERS (my first computer magazine love) about best classics that should be played again, and 4 AGs came up out of the 15 mentioned.

These last couple of years we’ve pretty much established that we still have a core of fans that make us a viable niche, and that we can occasionally achieve mainstream success.
This has dropped the air of “AG is dead” that surrounded our genre for years, so yeah, while not being mainstream, at least we’re recognized as a niche again.

Good times, imo. Cool

Those three games look very modern and polished too. Something you can show off in a list like this. Adventure is doing well.
