Because I'm a fan of adventures, I played a lot of them. Too many to list them all here, but those which impressed me much were:
1. Of course all of the Cyan ones (Myst, Riven, Exile, Revelation, End of Ages).
Myst was shipped with my old Mac Performa, together with
"The Daedalus Encounter", a game which combined real actors (e.g. "Relic Hunter" Tia Carrere) and 3D environment.
2.
Blade Runner by Westwood Studios.
Those 3 games (Myst, Daedalus Encounter and Blade Runner) made me love adventures and puzzles.
3. Of course
"The Longest Journey" and the sequel
"Dreamfall" from Ragnar Tørnquist.
Really great story, and the longest gameplay I ever had.
4.
Venetica. This was a real surprise for me, very nice graphics and dialogues.
5. Syberia I & II, Schizm, Sentinel, The Moment of Silence, Keepsake, Overclocked, Some of the Sherlock Holmes titles, and various other titles.
And of course Portal I - currently I'm trying my luck in Portal II.
Oh, I forgot Mass Effect II.
Online games:
I played Perfect World for a while (when MOUL closed), and AION (recently).
A lot of grinding, sure, but to say it with Chacal's words:
Chacal wrote:I am fascinated by 3D worlds. I can spend hours just wandering around. Modern games have incredibly realistic graphics.
To be honest, I was not much interested in leveling, as my mates did in the dungeons, but instead I mostly wandered around, enjoying the graphics, and taking screenshots and videos.
(nice thread

Never heard of those titels. But sounds interesting... I love time travel stories. If it's that what I guess.
