Adding these titles into the mix:
- Hugo's House of Horrors
- Maniac Mansion
- The Goonies II
- The Cave
- Machinarium / Botanicula / Samorost (put together because they're, at their core, the same idea.)
- Love you to bits.
And I think these also give that adventure story feel (find objects & solve puzzles to progress a story), even if they don't transport the player to far-away locations
- The Room series
- There is no game
- The Rusty Lake series
- The Stanley Parable
- Tangle Tower
- Chuchel
- sersi 2y agoHugo's House of Horrors -> That game commits pretty much every sin in the list. Machinarium / Botanicula / Samorost / Chuchel are all great fun (and can be played with relatively young kids even)
- quitit 2y agoI give HHH a pass, it is still fun and predates Monkey Island 1 and the list itself. MI2 also break's Ron's own rules ... extensively, including a bunch of things he didn't list that should also be rules, like "don't use a deus ex machina as an ending device" (which he did again in Return to Monkey Island, he's absolutely butchered that IP.)
