Favourite Amiga games: Secret of Monkey Island 1&2, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Rick Dangerous 1&2, Pirates!, Flashback, Lemmings, Eye of the Beholder....just off the top of my head
Favourite now: The Witness, Braid, Portal, Obra Dinn, Papers Please, Fez, Talos Principle, BoTW, The Last Door...etc.
Have you made it around to Disco Elysium yet?
It's on my list, and it's a bit higher up now because of your comment...thanks for the recommendation(?).
Yes, definitely recommended. It's the modern iteration/spiritual successor to the great point-and-click adventure games you mentioned (among others). Had young me known Disco Elysium was in my future when I was playing Police Quest 2, I would have peed myself.
Awesome, love all those 90s games. My wife and I are deep into Obra Dinn right now and Papers Please is one of our faves too.
Obra Dinn is such a unique experience, a shame (though unavoidable) that there is zero replay value though. My jaw literally dropped a few times during that game.
I don't always think replay value is essential as long as the experience is golden. We're only half way through Obra Dinn and it's blowing us away.
The voice acting is especially awesome.
