Thimbleweed Park

Thimbleweed Park is a point-and-click adventure like from the good old times :)
Like in Maniac Mansion or Day of the Tentacle one plays several nicely crafted characters in different times, yet all in a small town called Thimbleweed Park.
As in the classics, one gets a beautifully written story; lots of easter eggs and jokes; fun, crazy and some difficult puzzles to solve; and great (old school) graphics and sound / voice acting.
It’s been a real treat and I had to try both game modes (hard and casual) right one after the other » highly recommended !!!

There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension

There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension is, using its own words, not a great point-and-click adventure game. It’s certainly not fantastic and not a great homage to old adventure classics, does not have a fun story and nice riddles to solve and was not at all extremely entertaining to play. And you should probably not make sure to give it a go.

p.s. The not-game is based on a game-jam entry called ‘There Is No Game’, which you can play for free here.

Lumino City

Lumino City is a nicely done puzzle adventure game with scenes built from real cardboard models and some really nice, and here and there quite challenging, puzzles.
This, together with a very nice soundtrack and a nice story, made this game a lot of fun to play.

Wavetale

Wavetale is a 3D action adventure where you guide young Sigrid on her quest to save her fellow islanders from mysterious monsters and uncover secrets about her own family.

It’s a very laid-back ‘action’ adventure with nice visuals (though with a few hiccups here and there), a great soundscape, and some fun (but not too hard) puzzles, garnished with four little racing challenges. I liked it and maybe you will too ;)

Planet of Lana

Planet of Lana is a beautifully crafted 2D puzzle platformer in which you must guide a girl named Lana and her little cat-like friend in their fight against a robot army invading their home planet.

A wonderful story told without any real words, really nice graphics and a memorable soundtrack with matching soundscapes made this game a lot of fun to play. Maybe not the hardest puzzles and not the longest game, but I am very happy to have found this gem.
