Adventure Games!

Life is Strange is an adventure game so they're pretty alive, although LiS is probably some kind of disgrace to adventure games

I was super let down by Gemini Rue. Are there any other modern sci fi adventure games worth checking out?

Telltale would be the "modern" version of adventure games for the most part, but I'm more a fan of those early 2000's games with cool world-discovery and hard puzzles.

First adventure game I remember playing was The Longest Journey. Absolutely blew me away. Still listen to the lounge music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYgNVPOYT7w

...Maybe.

I tried Dreamfall: Chapters a year or two ago, and gave up on it. But maybe it's good, check it out at report back.

Do Japanese VNs count as adventure games or is there not enough combining nonsensical items together to form something totally unanticipated?

Haha, the item puzzles in TLJ were so rediculus sometimes - I distinctly remember the one with the rubber floating duck.

I would say it depends on the VN. Obviously, a VN is it's own genre, but just like there are "point-and-click puzzle adventure games" I'd allow there to also be "VN adventure games."

I won't say I like the genre overall, but I can get into them sometimes. I just don't like games with needless amounts of instant-death every time you move in the wrong direction. It's a senseless way to hamper progress.

Visual novels are adventure games so long as there are choices to make.

I'd agree with this.

The Experiment was really excellent about it - as much as you might try, I'm pretty sure it's impossible to kill Lea (the chick in the pic). I went through the entire game and the worst thing that happened was I made her black out from heat stroke one time.
